Request edit on 23 May 2020

Remove any content that was created by undisclosed paid Joshua Halpern.

While my own edits followed COI and the Articles of Creation, it appears that this previous editor did not. Would someone be able to rewrite/clean-up this article to remove anything edited by Joshua Halpern? I will not make the changes myself since COI editors should only propose changes.

@Miniland1333: Welcome to Wikipedia—this request is inappropriately formulated and has therefore  not been done. You say you will not make changes yourself, but then you did edit this article multiple times in January. You followed WP:AFC, you say? But this article was created by User:Joshua Halpern, not you, so that makes no sense. The biggest mistake you've made is you've failed to follow WP:ER#General considerations№1. With how you've written it, someone needs to carefully compare Halpern's last revision to the current revision, and then make a decision on each difference, as you've not provided any guidance on what you actually want. Given that you're being paid to do this and we aren't, why should a volunteer do this work for you? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm sure you have the best of intentions, so please, go write a user space draft and then make a new, specific WP:ER.

Request edit on 26 May 2020

  • Assess draft User:Miniland1333/sandbox/LibreTexts
  • After improving draft, Replace article with rewritten draft to remove Undisclosed Paid contributions by Joshua Halpern
  • Remove Undisclosed Paid template
  • Verify article qualifies for stub status
  • Verify that additions to infobox are done correctly, namely whether the "Written in" applies to the Mindtouch Platform (which is a SaaS rather than a programming language)

Since the article is so short, I have attempted to write a draft to either cut or replace all work done by Joshua Halpern. Would someone be able to look over this draft and let me know what needs modification? It is pretty bare-bones right now so there isn't much left to cut. I have tentatively added a stub status to the bottom of the draft, though I did not find a specific stub type that was obviously applicable. Also Psiĥedelisto thank you for your guidance. Thank you reviewer for your time.
