- Overall:
- I have started skimming through the WtW page and seeing what words I can find- do you perhaps have at least a few specific examples that you happened to catch?? (I am not the nominator, by the way, I'm just here to help out.) TheDisneyGamer (talk) 17:51, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- @TheDisneyGamer: The only few I have found in particular were puffery words such as "great" and "leading" (not sure if they're used in a way that's not described in W2W), an expression of doubt in the use of "so-called", and finally the use of "notably" is not of impartial tone, as described in W2W's Editorializing section. Perhaps I might be looking at this MoS wrong, but I'll leave it up to the editors to decide. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 17:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Ok, I think I might've removed most of the W2W-y things?? I couldn't find "so-called" anywhere, though I might've missed it (or I removed it and don't remember doing so), but I got rid of some that I found how does such as "critically acclaimed". How does it look?? TheDisneyGamer (talk) 17:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- This is also for KAMiKAZOW, who made this edit, but in the section about Ishiiruka, I notice the use of "unique," another peacock word. "So-called" is still present in the phrase
"The solution that the so-called Ubershaders..."
. A quick Ctrl+F can help with that. See WP:EDITORIAL about the use of "notably" in the lead where it says"most notably the ability to play games with..."
. That's all I can see for now. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 17:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
