Thanks for uploading File:Felix newspaper issue 1756, 20 November 2020, front cover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Question from Llamalawyer77 (12:47, 1 November 2024)

Hello, Snowmanonahoe/ Isochrone, I recently edited an article that overused the adjective "generously" to describe a scientist regarding his philanthropic deeds. I changed where I could preface "contributed" and other such notations to not take away too much from the fact. The question is do you come across this type of "bragging" when it comes to what seems to be emotionally invested writers? (It is not to say it is bad to say something good about someone, but I would feel as though I was bragging if someone had bragged about my donations, which is too a highly personal matter and nullifies the point of donations.) --Llamalawyer77 (talk) 12:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Llamalawyer77 and welcome to Wikipedia. You are indeed correct to remove what we term as "peacock" wording. All Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view (one of our five pillars) and remain impartial to the subject.

From a quick scan of some of the articles you have edited, I believe (through no fault of your own) that there is still a significant amount of such puffery. You would be correct to remove them and the pages I have linked should provide guidance in doing so.

I am unsure as to your later question; you may be asking about editors with a conflict of interest, perhaps? Please feel free to expand on your question. – Isochrone (talk) 14:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from John Grammaticus (18:19, 13 November 2024)

Hello Isochrone! One of the pages I have edited is for an amusement park, which was filled with blatant puffery and promotional language. While even the existence of the page doesn't seem of merit to me, I feel that I can now remove the maintenance template regarding the promotional content. I would like to verify this with you first, since I don't want to do so without proper validation. Thanks in advance! --John Grammaticus (talk) 18:19, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
