Advert tag?

@Hipal: Could you please elaborate on why you think the article needs an advert tag? What would you like to see done with the article (additions, subtractions, changes, etc.)? Grorp (talk) 03:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The references and their use.

I'm still getting up to speed on the larger situation here. ~~You have a WP:COI?~~

Wikishovel fixed a big problem. [1]

ADVERT doesn't cover everything. Seems like there are WP:COAT problems here, and general POV problems. --Hipal (talk) 20:56, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, I see that my pasted list of citations onto the talk page from my scouring of the archive page are identical to the "External links" section; oops, hadn't noticed that. Yeah, those are excessive; I'll weed through them. I've made myself a list of things to work on in this article. Grorp (talk) 09:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The new Publishing section was more of the same. Please review WP:NOT and WP:IS. --Hipal (talk) 22:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hipal: I have so much more to do in the article and this was just a tiny part. I will email you my list of things I plan for the article so you can see I'm not just grasping at straws. There is a plan. I'm seriously thinking I will need to complete my entire project before deploying it, just to keep you from picking at each step I make.

Start with and work from reliable, independent sources. --Hipal (talk) 01:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
