I have concerns about your edits to this article. I see you did a lot of work on it, so I don't wish to blanket revert, but it appears some POV has crept into what should be an encyclopedic article. I haven't looked closely at all the edits but your info about the OPB investigation has "stomped on" the encyclopedic lede sentence, which should say, basically "Thing is a Type of Thing in Place". Although you left this info further down, your info on the OPB investigation has given undue weight to the investigation. Please move that information further down and let it speak for itself. See also WP:NPOV, for starters. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 03:34, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

P.S. I totally understand that this edit was likely from a COI editor for the org. Regardless, the article needs be rewritten from NPOV. Words like "claims" could be construed as WP:WEASEL. It's better to say "according to" and other such constructions. Valfontis (talk) 03:40, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply


Well, I changed it. I don't know why an organization shown by two legitimate news outlets to be unethical and propagandist should get to determine the content of its own Wikipedia page. Hope they're not paying you too!

  Hi Scout Lake! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Things We Lost in the Fire (album) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Apocheir (talk) 03:46, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
