Talk:The Cheese Grater

Discussion

Hi René,

This page is not sourced, does not justify its notability except for claiming it won awards, and appears to be owned by you. Consequently, I've started this discussion page to encourage open debate. You'll find this article gets tagged unverifiable if we don't find some citations soon: the number of individuals mentioned (I count 10) doesn't help your case. Please freshen up here, and remember that this is an exercise in encyclopedia writing, not journalism.

All the best, Mark 22:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Interesting... the page is not owned by me, nor is it an exercise in journalism. It was started by someone else, and has only ever been updated (and, occasionally, restored) by me. However, I'm sure some citations can be found. I might try getting round to it myself, when I can, but they're all in the public domain (see our website), so anyone can really.

Fair enough, and apologies for the sanctimonious tone. I'll keep looking for citations. Mark 21:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.114.130.221 (talk)

I have now added two references. René Lavanchy 22:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

There appears to be a user skewing NPOV on this article and making unfounded allegations about the Grater's fact-checking procedures. I've a good guess at the person's identity, but that's not something to discuss here. Anyway, since Wikipedia is not the place for such allegations, I am going to fix them a bit.

Yes, I've just had to fix quite a lot of damage created by people trying to inject suggestions that the magazine engages in 'gossip', 'libel' and 'allegation' instead of hard facts - suggestions which are factually wrong and whose wrongness can be judged by actually reading the relevant issues of the magazine.

Multiple issues

I've removed most of the unsourced content, some of which had WP:BLP concerns. Most of the content appeared to have been written by WP:COI accounts, and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia unless it is supported by independent reliable sources. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 16:27, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Very poor paragraph

I am concerned by the tone of this paragraph: "In the Winter 2022 issue, Neil Majithia and Elettra Plati penned a brilliant exposé of UCL sports societies and their initiative activities. With commendable and extensive research, Neil and Elettra exposed the initiation rituals of UCL's most prolific sports societies. In doing this, the pair brought the toxic culture of Team UCL to the fore of attention and they subsequently won the Best News Piece award at the 2023 SPA Awards. https://cheesegratermagazine.org/2022/11/18/chun-buckets-everywhere-how-initiation-ceremonies-ruin-the-freshers-experience/" This isn't written in an encyclopaedic style whatsoever. I wanted to bring attention to this because I'm not a Wikipedia editor, not sure what the appropriate course of action is...! 92.5.222.138 (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
