== KNIME ==
Dear @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]],
Thank you very much for your input. I recognize that you are a highly experienced user, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to improve the [[KNIME]] Wikipedia entry in a way that avoids being flagged as promotional content.
For now, I have reverted your edit because I’m hoping to receive a detailed [[Help:Edit_summary|edit summary]] from you.
To give you some context, KNIME is a software company whose main product, KNIME Analytics Platform, has changed and evolved greatly over the past 10 years. The Wikipedia page had not been updated in many years, resulting in outdated and sometimes inaccurate information. This is why the edit was so extensive and resulted in a significant increase in the number of bytes (which probably caught your attention).
For example, the version you reinstated contained information about courses, but the offerings have changed dramatically, with KNIME reshaping its course curriculum. Therefore, wouldn’t it be better to have the most updated information? Or should information on courses not be included altogether?
Additionally, I understand from reading these [[Wikipedia:Identifying_blatant_advertising|Identifying blatant adversting]] guidelines that discussing a company’s mission carries a high risk of being flagged as promotional. However, my intention was to discuss the design principles of the platform from a technical perspective. This section was inspired by the [[Python_(programming_language)|Python]] entry and cites an academic paper, focusing on computer science concepts rather than the company's mission.
I appreciate your guidance on how to better present this information.

:I have left it as it is for now, but it reads more like a software user manual than an encyclopedia article about the company. . .[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]] ([[User talk:Mean as custard#top|talk]]) 18:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
:: Agreed. The style of content written there is fundamentally unencyclopedic, and reliant entirely on primary sources. I've re-reverted. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 18:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
:::Thanks @[[User|Pppery]] for your feedback.
:::I understand your concern on primary sources. I have therefore included the part about design principles since it references an external academic paper. This was inspired by "Design and Philosophy features" section in the wiki page for [[Python (programming language)]]. Also, I updated the very outdated screenshot of the platform.
:::Any further feedback is welcomed [[User:Bassanelli|Bassanelli]] ([[User talk:Bassanelli|talk]]) 10:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
== Austere Systems ==
Hi @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]], too busy to prevent the deletion of the page Austere Systems which you recently deleted, i would have rather preferred to improve it and remove advertising materials/content on the page. I would request you please restore the page as a draft so i can work on it and improve it until it is ready to be published in the main space. Thank you [[User:Nuel Jr|Nuel Jr]] ([[User talk:Nuel Jr|talk]]) 13:29, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
: {{tps}} Mean as custard is not an admin so is not able to do that. As an admin, I would decline - the text there is fundamentally unsalvageable (from the very first sentence: {{tq|Austere Systems Pvt Ltd, is a software development company providing cutting edge IT services and solutions to startups and enterprises}}). This has nothing to do with you being busy, it has to do with whether you are trying to describe the country from a neutral perspective or whether you are trying to advertise it to its customers which Wikipedia is not a venue for. You were clearly doing the latter. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 18:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
== Newcomer checking on advert tag ==
Hi @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]], https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiPay has an advert tag you added in 2017. It's looking pretty good now. Is there anything I should check before removing your tag? [[User:Agnieszka653|Agnieszka653]] ([[User talk:Agnieszka653|talk]]) 20:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
:I don't see any problem with it now. . .[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]] ([[User talk:Mean as custard#top|talk]]) 22:02, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

== Removing "resume" tag -- Dean Drako ==
Hi @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]], https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Drako has your "reads like a resume" tag from May 2024. I've created a more paragraph-based encyclopedic summary -- the prior more bulleted format was due to page been being updated on an ad hoc over a 10-year period. Is there anything else I should do before removing your tag? [[User:Mukis|Mukis]] ([[User talk:Mukis|talk]]) 02:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)mukis

== National Digital Library of India ==
Dear @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]],
I recently observed that there has been a significant edit to the National Digital Library of India's page. It might be more accurate to describe this as "vandalism" rather than an "edit." A substantial part of the article has been replaced with outdated information, and numerous inaccuracies have been introduced without proper citations. Readers seek the most current information, which is their right. The privilege to edit does not extend to distorting facts and figures. Please refrain from misusing the editing privileges granted to you. I have reported this matter to the Wikipedia administrators. [[User:Dr. Anirban Mukherjee|Dr. Anirban Mukherjee]] ([[User talk:Dr. Anirban Mukherjee|talk]]) 05:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
:I have again reverted your edit as it contains unacceptably promotional and uncited content. Please tell me in what way you have notified the administrators, so I may justify my action to them if necessary. . .[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]] ([[User talk:Mean as custard#top|talk]]) 16:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
== Health crisis ==
Hello @[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]],
it appears the Health Crisis page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_crisis has been totally replaced and recategorized as something else entirely. I did not attempt an edit as it seems too strange. [[Special:Contributions/163.5.171.53|163.5.171.53]] ([[User talk:163.5.171.53|talk]]) 17:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for the alert. It looks like a rogue edit by an automated bot; I have reverted it to the last good version. . .[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]] ([[User talk:Mean as custard#top|talk]]) 19:24, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
== I would like to discuss an Edit made to the Grant Union High School (Sacramento California) Wiki page ==
You recently reverted edits I made to my schools page and id like to know why? Everything added there was all factual information and true and added alot to the page, Grant is 91 years old and has a deep history that is very important to me and would like to know why you deem it "promotional" [[User:JesseOrtega|JesseOrtega]] ([[User talk:JesseOrtega|talk]]) 00:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
:The changes to the article had no references and read like the school prospectus rather than an encyclopedia article: "has a rich history", "the pride of its students in their community’s achievements", "the school’s commitment to excellence", dedicated to promoting high academic achievement", "instills values such as loyalty, patriotism, and accountability, "mission is to close the achievement gap", "designed to equip students with the skills". . .[[User:Mean as custard|Mean as custard]] ([[User talk:Mean as custard#top|talk]]) 09:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
== Reversal of edits to Tata Memorial Centre Wiki page ==
Hello. I had edited the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Memorial_Centre, which has a lot of old, incomplete and incorrect information, and added multiple factual updates, including the current logo of Tata Memorial (the logo on the page is an old one). I had removed incorrect or irrelevant information such as regarding the Konark Cancer Foundation or the Tata Clinic. However, all my edits have been undone and the page has been restored to the prior status. I can see some of these were done by you. Can you please help me in ensuring that the page remains accurate and uptodate? I am looking forward to working together on this. [[User:Ad baheti|Ad baheti]] ([[User talk:Ad baheti|talk]]) 16:31, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
:Factual edits are fine, but the material you added was over-promotional, e.g. "TMC has been the torchbearer for research in affordable and accessible cancer prevention and care. TMC boasts of having a state-of-the-art Clinical Research Secretariat (CRS) to support clinical research." . .
