Improving Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Wikipedia article

Hi Pbrks, I noticed you added the advert banner to the LLS Wikipedia article this morning. Thanks for taking an interest in the Wikipedia article. Over the years, the article grew with a lack of sourced content, promotional content, and an out-of-date Infobox. I created a sandbox to address all the issues. The suggestions include:

Moving the article to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Building out a History section for the organization.
Trimming out promotional content from the existing content.
Adding additional secondary sources.
Updating Infobox.

Would you be interested in collaborating on improving the article? Chefmikesf (talk) 20:42, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for reaching out, but this is not a topic I am interested in. The promotional tone is apparent in even just the second sentence of the lede; it does indeed need a major rewrite! Happy editing! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 05:31, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbrks, The content and references reflect a much more Wikipedia-compliant tone with the updates made over the last few months. Unless you have an objection, I will remove it. Open to any suggestions. Best--Chefmikesf (talk) 22:11, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Grand'mere Eugene, I haven't heard back from @Pbrks about the banner they added. Do you think the article is cleaned up sufficiently? Chefmikesf (talk) 22:58, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Grand'mere Eugene, I hope you had a great holiday season with your family. Thanks for making the additional clean up edits. Can we add this edited sentence as the first sentence of the Fundraising section?

--LLS has five fundraising campaigns: Light The Night^[1], Team In Training^[2], Visionaries of the Year^[3]^[4], Student Visionaries of the Year^[5], and Big Climb^[6]. Light The Night is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's largest community initiative to build awareness of blood cancers as well as raise money for research and support of patients and their families.^[7]^[8] --

Chefmikesf (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing the 5 initiatives in the accompanying source for that paragraph, nor for the assertions that the "Light the Night" is the Society's largest community initiative, or that it is held in over 100 communities each fall. We need a reliable source, preferably a secondary source to avoid charges it's in a promotional tone. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 06:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found some potential sources listed on the AfD discussion. What do you think about using some of those sources? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 06:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grand'mere Eugene, Thanks for pointing that out; I updated the sources and added additional sources to the copy above. Let me know what you think. The section was merged from that AfD, so it needed subtraction. I removed most of it before proposing this addition.--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 21:52, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Grand'mere Eugene! --Chefmikesf (talk) 23:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
