COI edit request

[edit]

Hi! Grant McCracken has hired me to make a quick edit request for this article: removing {{COI}} from the top. This template was placed by retired user Justeditingtoday more than four years ago, presumably in response to GrantMcCracken editing the article. Since then, he has not been involved in editing this article, nor does he intend to in the future now that he understands Wikipedia's guidelines. According to the Who Wrote That? browser extension, GrantMcCracken has written only 4.6% of the current article. The only part of the article I think could be construed as non-NPOV is the assertion that he coined the term "Diderot effect", since no source is provided. Here's one source to fill that gap: Lorenzen, Janet A. (2015). "Diderot Effect". The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Consumption and Consumer Studies. p. 1. doi:10.1002/9781118989463.wbeccs095. ISBN 9781118989463. Lots of other sources are also available.

Let me know if there's anything else I should provide to justify removing {{COI}} from this article. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 23:27, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. The COI tag is gratuitous for an article of this short length, lacking any visible signs of bias. I would hardly have expected the article to look different even if it had been entirely written by unconflicted editors. Only issue I spotted is that Twitter link should be removed, because Grant McCracken's blog already has a feed embedded. See WP:ELMIN.
MaryGaulke, there is one more thing you can do to help. Please fill out the {{Connected contributor}} tag for McCracken and put it at the top of this page. Thank you. Altamel (talk) 17:00, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to – done! Thanks much. Mary Gaulke (talk) 22:26, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
