Hi Mean as custard,

Thank you so much for your help. Are there some kind of guidelines or template for how a non-profit should set up its Wiki page? I'm having trouble understanding how the articles we have cited so far do not meet the criteria for encyclopedic.

Hello Mean as Custard. At this page, you reverted at least 13x today, if I count correctly. It is a sandbox in user space, which means that the page is intended for tests. Why do you think the page is harmful for Wikipedia? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a free web host for files unconnected with the project. . . Mean as custard (talk) 15:11, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it is connected with the project. It is possible that the editor learns to work with the wikicode. Why not WP:AGF or to ask or to take it to WP:MFD and explain your concerns properly instead of stubborn reverting? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting Changes on the Meta Golding page

Hello Mean as Custard. Could you please explain what is the problem you have with the lack of presence of a very personal detail, such as the birth date, considering we are talking about a living person? You keep reverting my changes. Sidis405 (talk) 10:56, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date is not a personal detail, it is a matter of public record. Why do you insist on removing it? . . . Mean as custard (talk) 11:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because the subject of the page deems it as too private. Anyhow this is about a living person http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons , "Exercise caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses.". Wouldn't this make sense?

Richmond Christian School

Hello. I noticed you removed the school mission statement cited directly from the webpage, suggesting it was promotional. I feel it much better explains the tone of the school than what was there prior. Finally, you also removed the the link to the current school webpage where are the reference sources come from. A write up without accurate or up do date references is not useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.65.100.18 (talk) 21:15, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods Colllege page edits

I'm trying to understand why all my edits for the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College page are being taken down. The current page is filled with outdated inaccurate information, and I'm trying to provide current information that is not only accurate, but more interesting. I am still learning about how to properly cite, and I don't even know how to upload a photo yet. Also, I'm trying to make sure the College is also listed appropriately on other sites that pertain to the college.

What do you want me to do differently?

francesdyerFrancesdyer (talk) 14:48, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The main problem is with the uncited puffery like "The College’s success in online education comes from having a brick and mortar institution to add credibility to the distance program"; "Pomeroy Pride means surpassing your own expectations."; "The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Ring is an enduring symbol that binds proud traditions to the individual student’s memorable educational experience." Wikipedia articles are supposed to contain unbiased encyclopedic information (preferably sourced from reliable third-party publications), not serve as an extension of the college prospectus. Mean as custard (talk) 14:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, can none of the references come from the college website at all?

francesdyerFrancesdyer (talk) 17:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If it is factual content which can't be disputed, then it should be ok to take it from the website. But not if it could be considered at all promotional. . . Mean as custard (talk) 18:04, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Mean as Custard for your explanation. I will use the sandbox for my draft edits before placing them on the site. francesdyerFrancesdyer (talk) 12:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Back in February 2012 you PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND by an IP who claims that a purchase since then makes it notable, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your revertion of my edits

I was surprised to find my recent changes to the PA Consulting page were all reverted so suddenly. I was following the Wikipedia guidelines as far as I understood, had posted the intended changes on the talk page with plenty of notice. I would have been happy to take into account any feedback on there before making the updates.

My intention had been to improve the article by updating out of date and inaccurate information, restructuring to a more factual layout, focusing on what PA as a company is/does, amending the language to make it more objective and adding more references. I accept that some of the language could still be seen as promotional but much of this was already live and I have tried not to add any additional promotional terms.

In the spirit of Wikipedia I’d welcome any specific suggestions on how to make the page as accurate and objective as possible so I can address them in the next update. --AChatburnPA (talk) 16:27, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"PA helps businesses to succeed by identifying new opportunities offered by the wealth of ‘information intelligence’ and big data available to them, connecting it together with the help of technologies such as mobile, social media, geospatial and cloud, and commercialising it in a way that makes sense to the industry they are in, for example, energy and telecommunications" - this kind of language combines advertising, puffery, peacockery and business buzzwords; it certainly does not belong in an encyclopedia article. See WP:Spam and WP:COI. . Mean as custard (talk) 16:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) That article is a complete mess and has a long history of COI editing. I've trimmed down some more of the non-neutral content. I'd advise AChatburnPA to read and follow WP:BESTCOI if they want to make any changes to the article - in a nutshell - use secondary sources such as newspapers and suggest changes on the talk page. WP:MFA and WP:42 may also be helpful. SmartSE (talk) 17:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mr. Mean

Hey, I noticed that you changed my edit on the ISKL (International School of Kuala Lumpur) Wikipedia Page. Why? All it says is "(revert to less blatantly promotional version)". I edited this page as I went to the school and know quite a bit about it. I was there for 5 years. I know how the school works. I was just wondering why you would take all my work down? Was it because my work was bad? Was it false? All I'm asking is for a more justified reason than what I have gotten. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Almondmuncher (talkcontribs) 19:37, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, it was blatantly promotional - stuff like: "At ISKL, learning does not stop with academics but encompasses social, emotional and moral development. We offer a well-rounded educational program for our students to excel and lead balanced quality lives outside of the classroom.". . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural question

Hey Mean, procedural question for you. When you see a promotional user page or sandbox, is it better to blank it as per WP:SPAM, or leave it alone and nominate it for WP:SPEEDY? I've been doing the latter because more often than not, it's also a promotional username, so I'll use either {{db-spamuser}} or {{db-spamuser-sandbox}} and then report them to WP:UAA. Just wanted to know what you think... thanks! --Drm310 (talk) 15:05, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to use {{db-spamuser}} or {{db-spam}} in blatant cases where an admin should consider blocking the user, otherwise just blank the page and maybe leave a warning on the user talk page. . . Mean as custard (talk) 16:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ansaldo STS

I see some merit (some) in your edits, but you are too broad and sweeping. Such a large edit is alway contestable .... and as you seem to believe that everyon is using Wikipedia for sales and marketing, I feel that you are lacking WP:NPOV. 00:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhtpbank (talkcontribs)

If other editors agreed with your point of view, I would change my approach. But they don't, so I won't. . . Mean as custard (talk) 07:12, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A few points (1) I have not added any content to the page (2) You need to act with more WP:CONSENSUS. (3) I have placed a comment on the talk page ... so if you continue to revert, and keep deleting large sections of this article without discussion then you may find yourself being blocked. Bhtpbank (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My reversion applied solely to a large edit made by a user (who has made no other edits to Wikipedia) on 30.5.13. It was clearly intended to be promotional and it was impossible to separate out the flagrant advertising from the potentially useful (but uncited) material. Wikipedia:Don't shoot yourself in the foot has been known to apply to editors who threaten to have me blocked. . . Mean as custard (talk) 10:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Wanted to add my thanks for your patient efforts to work on improving the quality of Wikipedia. As per the recent discussion at the pump, we seem to agree that the jargon and puffery like "solutions" needs to be toned down. I am working on many of the software company articles that seem to be heavily into this. A somewhat related one is the litany of products and buzzwords. Many of the articles seem to be chock-full of acronyms, perhaps to get higher scores on searches? From time to time these get reverted, but I hope rationality will win in the end and we can get articles that explain things in plain English. Much appreciated.

Good afternoon - I'm unsure why the edits I have made about my credit union keep getting changed. :( I have used a template from another credit union's wikipedia page to set up more accurate information...I'm not trying to "promote" the credit union...just provide factual information from their website. Can you please clarify what I need to do so you stop removing my page? I don't understand why you are able to remove my edits, but I can't take off the ones that are untrue and make it a comprehensive page about my credit union. Can you please clarify what exactly you are asking that I remove/change? I've looked at many different credit union wikipedia pages and can't see how mine is that different? Please let me know.

"Listening to member needs, and responding accordingly, has made us the trusted financial institution that we are today" is just a tiny segment of the heap of promotional b*llsh*t that you added to the article. If you do it again your account will be blocked. . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:19, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mean as custard - There is no need to block my account or use offensive language. If you are insisting that I alter the content to be more objective then I will work to do so. With that said, when I make the changes to the page can you please not automatically block my account and remove my content. Let me know what still needs to be changed and I will happily comply. My main objective here is to create a page for my credit union that is more accurate so people can understand what Lafayette Federal Credit Union is. If your goal is to ensure that Wikipedia is not biased, then please help me in this process to edit my page. Thank you for your assistance. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kfuzqcuoh498 (talkcontribs) 13:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly have a serious conflict of interest with this subject, and your previous edits show your aim is purely promotional, not to produce an objective, balanced article. I suggest you could demonstrate your good faith by editing other unrelated articles instead, such as Sir Stephen Glynne, 9th Baronet, Spécial Dalida or Tuszyny, Bydgoszcz County. . . Mean as custard (talk) 14:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why my good faith is being questioned here. As a new Wikipedia user, I was just trying to provide some updated and accurate information on my credit union. I was using information that is available to the public from Lafayette's website to post. Perhaps this was due to my misunderstanding of Wikipedia and its regulations, but I do not believe I should be blocked for simply trying to improve the page's content. My intention is to provide an accurate reflection of my credit union, not to promote the business as you have suggested. The current content is extremely outdated and frankly not entirely true. If you would like the content I created to be changed to not be "promotional" I am happy to do that, but you must provide me the opportunity to do so without the repercussions of being blocked as a user. I will be able to satisfy us both by creating an accurate page that has objective content to improve the information Wikipedia provides. If the changes still need to be modified I will be happy to hear you out and change what you think is necessary rather than completely removing my page. Also, I do not believe my edits to any of the pages you have suggested would be valuable, as I know nothing about them. Lafayette has been my credit union for 20 years, which is why I consider this page modification to be extremely important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.159.72.253 (talk) 17:27, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you insist on updating the article, I suggest that instead of relying on the organisation's website for material (which is very likely to be promotional), you should find references in unrelated third-party sources. . . Mean as custard (talk) 19:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise on how one can edit the Bridge Alliance page to keep it up to date, and without any form of promotion.

Explanation required

you have put a tag for speedy deletion for the article Brandscan but it is not a promotional company. It is just a new area for market research which uses the disguised games as its approach. i request you to go through it again and see it partially please.

It would be of huge help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Makmares (talkcontribs) 16:44, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not tagged for speedy deletion because it was promotional, but only because it did not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Citations on their own do not make the subject notable; the article itself must explain why the subject is notable. . . Mean as custard (talk) 18:26, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed Flextronics page was not very informative compared to other similar companies, so tried to beef it up, but I could see how some of the things I pasted into it might have been considered promotional. I'll try to make it more informative, not promotional, in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bopeterg (talkcontribs) 15:38, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I've got a question for you about this edit to the Reality Changers article. The Template:Infobox_non-profit includes an entry for an organization's mission statement. I simply entered the mission statement as I found it at the organization's website. If it's promotional, it's no more promotional than any other mission statement. Would you please self-revert and re-add the mission statement? Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 17:07, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mission statements are usually promotional and add little to the article, and as such generally do not belong on Wilipedia, unless they have been commented on by third-party sources. If you can paraphrase the 'mission' in the main body of the article in non-promotional language, that may be a solution to the problem. . Mean as custard (talk) 17:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I generally agree that promotional language should be reduced or eliminated, especially in the body. But what about this template, which explicitly asks for a mission statement to be added? Dohn joe (talk) 17:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - unless you have a good reason not to follow the template, I plan to reinsert the mission statement there. Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 19:52, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the template, 'Mission' is intended as a brief summary in a few words of a non-profit organisation's charitable mission, not a long rambling self-promotional mission statement. . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:08, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ipanema Technologies

Sorry to bother.

On Sept 5th, you reverted the changes to the Ipanema Technologies page. I'd like to discuss this.

You cautioned that the adjustments were promotional and thus have been taken down. I'd like your insight into how to fix things. We have already:

  • Posted the proposed changes to the Companies Project page, along with explanation of potential conflict of interest
  • Posted the proposed changes to Ipanema's talk page, while flagging it on the Companies Project page. We left these proposed changes for a month in an effort to seek feedback before we did anything.

We made the changes because the existing Ipanema page was outdated, lingering from many years ago. As a result, the information on it was factually inaccurate.

We kept material non-promotional and cited extensively to external sources. We quoted external experts. We linked constantly to many of these publications. We also mentioned competitors, in keeping with what Ipanema's competitors have done.

Please let me know how we can go about fixing this. Thank you.

DianneDianneDianne (talk) 10:27, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed version posted on the talk page still reads more like a press release or an advertisement than an encyclopedia article, with buzzword-laden promotional language such as "focuses on helping enterprises. . .

Hi Mean as custard, thanks for help with Sysco

Hi Mean as custard,

Thanks for jumping in and helping with the Sysco article. You might want to take a look at the aspect of the unrefrigerated drop sites, which is interesting in its own right, how a major corporation could make this clumsy a mistake,---and a Sysco employee made three edits. I thanked Heredenj for helping out, who then shared with me that they want to be transparent and are a Sysco employee. And the edits were in fact helpful, that on Sept. 6 per press releases Sysco discontinued the drop site program across the board, and this information got quicker on the page with Heredenj than without. And I told him or her that wikipedia policy asks paid advocates to please instead suggest changes on the Talk page.

Anyway, I think more eyes looking at the material is good, and the whole idea of inviting more people into the tent.

If this topic interests you, please, by all means, jump in.  :>) FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 16:17, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undid revision 575763022 by Mean as custard

Please can you explain why you are removing my contribution of the ISF calculator?

This tax is extremely difficult for most people to calculate and this calculator allows them to so it easily.

You remove it but do not give a reason?

It is, in fact, the only online ISF calculator in existence and extremely useful to those looking for a way to understand and calculate this tax. As wikipedia is there to provide information and knowledge on a particular subject it should be clear that anyone seeking information on this tax is likely to do so because they need to calculate it and thus I believe this calculator is primordial in that respect. Removing it from the page is, thus, likely to deny the individual access to something that could very well provide them with the exact information that led them to visiting the wikipedia page in the first place.

Why would you visit a page about a certain form of taxation if not to work out how much one may have to pay?

I shall re-insert it for the above reason and trust that you understand why it is a valid contribution.

I think you may have tagged this as {{advert}} inappropriately. Can you recheck this? It's a company that - before it closed - was recognized as being uncommonly well regarded. I'm not averse to tone fixes but (see comments on talk page) when people have looked at the matter before there doesn't seem to be any actual, positive, improvements, suggested as a result. Perhaps after flicking through the talk page (not too long!) you can see if tone changes are possible and WP:BRD or bullet-list them, or whether the tag is appropriate or not.

Sorry about this - it appears to be tricky to figure what's best when the tone appears from sources to be fairly accurate and neutral, but because of the success of the subject company, may also come over as promotional in tone if the (third party/reputable) sources aren't checked.

The fact the topic and virtually all coverage is of a dissolved company may clarify that there wasn't promotional intent. Your help would be appreciated to help solve the tone issue or at least look at it a bit more to figure what you make of it on a more careful look. The talk page gives an idea of prior discussion.
