Brigade Media Advertisement flag

Hello @Caorongjin: ! You added a flag to my article asking that I remove promotional content, inappropriate links, and adding a more neutral point of view. Could you further specify what I should change for the article? I was trying to maintain a neutral point of view, especially with the "Criticism" section of my article. I also thought my citations were rather credible. Please let me know. Thanks! Dannyticknor (talk) 16:58, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Liz's Peer Review of Danny's Article

Hi Danny, First off, I really enjoyed reading your article! You are very good at the structural parts of Wikipedia, like addicting in the section part and headings, which I am not so I will definitely be reaching out to you in the future for help adding these things in. I think your article in general is very clean, concise, and unbiased with a Wikipedia tone. I noticed you said under "Controversies" Barbara time baby so I am curious what you mean specifically by how this will information will make it more unbiased. I think the lead is especially good in being clear and cut to the point all the while emphasizing why it's important and the significant information about Brigade Media. You also did very well on citing any information you referenced, and linking every specific thing to there Wikipedia page. In the first subsection you use the future tense saying "It will engage American voters". I am a little confused because I thought Brigade Media already was in place, but could be wrong. If it already exists I would suggest to changing it to it engages users instead of American voters or instead that it intend to engage American voters. I also think you had a great starting base with "Acquisitions" and "Similar Platforms", but that you should elaborate on both, especially with Similar Platforms. I liked how you defined Civic Technology, but I think following you should explain how it exactly is civic technology/ what about it qualifies it as such. Stemming off this, in general I think this is a great starting point and that you should just add more on what exactly Brigade Media does, how it does that, it's history, and what it's mission is/ what it wants to do. Hope this was helpful, and let me know if any of this was unclear in any way. (also so sorry for the late response I have been out of the country the past 14 days and just now have access to my computer) -Liz— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizziemcguirein2018 (talk • contribs) 07:29, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Liz, thank you for your comments! Glad you appreciated the structural aspects because I was aiming to make it appear like the real deal. With the controversies section, I was/am hoping to cite a Canadian study that Barbara mentioned that stated that civic technology platforms in fact DO NOT increase voter participation. Instead, these platforms are primarily used by people who are already politically active, thus being the opposite of the entire civic technology field. Thank you for your grammatical/ tense comments because Brigade Media does already exist and I should make that more clear. I also plan to dive deeper into each section and make new headers and sub-headers on the platform's history, missions, etc. Thank you so much! Hope being out of the country was fun and I'll ask you about it in class :) Dannyticknor (talk) 22:52, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Raul's Peer Review of Danny's Article

Hey there Danny! I really enjoyed reading your lead about Brigade and look forward to your new additions. SO far your lead is written very well and you have included sources already which is great. I look forward to reading more! Best regards, Raulcab (talk) 02:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC).

Hi Raul! Thank you for your comments! Hoping to add many more citations, preferably more credible sources! :) Thanks and good luck with your article! Dannyticknor (talk) 19:25, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey Raul! One more thing! Any suggestions on what to add/ what to improve, etc? Thanks Dannyticknor (talk) 19:56, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

non-partisan?

How is Brigade nonpartisan when it's sending me e-mails like this?

Americans chose Donald Trump to be their next leader during the 2016 election. But since day one of his administration, the President's opponents, with the support of the mainstream media, have threatened to upend the democratic process and remove President Trump from office through impeachment despite the fact that he has committed no "high crimes and misdemeanors" - the standard for impeachment established by the Constitution. Calls for impeachment are partisan political attacks, plain and simple. Sign and share the petition telling your representatives to say NO to impeaching President Trump.

Sign the Petition to Stand Up Against Impeachment Now!

Hello @Scottandrewhutchins: . That does sound a little biased towards one political spectrum. I would assume that Brigade Media sends those types of emails from every political perspective, but I did not ask for email notifications so I cannot confirm that. I'm sorry that you received that email. Would you like me to remove the word "nonpartisan" or how should I address this issue? Thanks Dannyticknor (talk) 17:57, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

I would say removing the word is the best thing we can do right now within wp:npov rules. Pretty much everything I get from Brigade is marked "Conservative Corps," a group I never joined.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 18:06, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
