Talk:Grammarly#rfc 3941266

As many of you know, this article about grammarly has a lot of promotional edits done to it, and it still sounds like an advert, may I ask all editors involved in the editing of this article, to help fix it, so it doesn't sound like an advert, and for those who are doing promotional editing, I ask you to stop, because Wikipedia is not a a site for making adverts, so who's in ? 96.230.240.122 (talk) 21:57, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

:Anon, could you could say more about what you think makes the article sound promotional? Editors above have talked about including the price and how that may be seen as promotional, and they seem to have come to a compromise. What parts of the article do you still have problems with? What kind of information do you think the article should contain and do you know of sources which could help us improve the article? — Wug·a·po·des​ 23:47, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

::I've gone through the article; there was only a phrase or two that felt promotional, which I fixed. I think the article is pretty neutral now, though it might need some expansion. -- Beland (talk) 01:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Isn't this article about the company, and not the product. If so, why is 60% of the content on the article about the product? 108.7.222.250 (talk) 13:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

:It's about both. The company has little notability beyond the product. --Hipal (talk) 16:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, everyone. I'm new to Wiki editing, but I am trying to add some more information to this article, like a section for what the product actually does and where it can be used. I am being careful not to make it seem promotional, but it is very hard to find information on Grammarly that isn't either the Grammarly website itself or this wiki page. Hopefully pointing out what the product actually does doesn't come across as promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CatamountMG (talk • contribs) 15:39, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

:Out of curiosity, what was your rational for deleting all of the references? Some of them were arguably excessive, but in my mind excessive citations are better than no citations at all. Foxbud (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

::I've reverted it. The edit summary misrepresented the edit, the edit was so large that it's unclear what was changed, and most of the references were removed.

::Please work in small edits with clear edit summaries.

::Do not remove references without indicating you are doing so, and with some indication as to why.

::This article has a very problematic history. Before editing it, would be best if editors were extremely familiar with WP:NOT, WP:POV, and all related policies/guidelines. --Hipal (talk) 21:02, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

On February 23, Samantha Sandisk introduced changes that Hipal and I reverted per WP:SOAP and WP:N. On March 3, Samantha reintroduced these changes without an edit summary explaining why the mentioned Wikipedia policies do not apply to the changes. Samantha, could you please clarify your reasoning? Foxbud (talk) 16:43, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

:I've gone ahead and reverted the edits. Thanks for starting this discussion. As Samantha Sandisk has yet to respond to any of the notices on her talk page, I don't expect to see a response here. Looks like a UPE account that needs to be blocked. --Hipal (talk) 17:14, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

although they clearly support Ukraine against Russia's invasion (as, in my humble opinion, they should), I am not sure if attributing the company as "Ukrainian American" is legitimate. That attribution was just "American" not long before the open warfare started, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grammarly&diff=1075735128&oldid=1072858340 if the page history is anything to go by]. Could someone check on this? I don't have time to investigate this thoroughly at the moment due to an essay I'm writing (which is why I was originally looking up Grammarly)--Macks2008 (talk) 06:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

:It's actually gone back and forth, even before the invasion. None of the three nearest citations near the claim seemed to support it, but I did find one that at least states that the original founders of Grammarly are Ukrainian (which I've added as a citation). That said, it still might be misleading to attribute the entire company as "Ukrainian American-Headquartered." Foxbud (talk) 13:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

::I have removed this claim from the first sentence. The rest of the intro clarifies the HQ is in the U.S. and the founders were from Ukraine. -- Beland (talk) 01:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

:I believe the phrasing "Ukraine-founded American-headquartered" would be optimal, since the company itself claims to be "Ukraine-founded and built"{{Cite web |date=2023-02-20 |title=Grammarly Stands With Ukraine |url=https://www.grammarly.com/blog/support-ukraine-2023/ |access-date=2023-12-15 |website=Grammarly Supports and Stands With Ukraine {{!}} Grammarly |language=en}} and says Ukraine is "where our company was founded".{{Cite web |date=2022-04-26 |title=How Grammarly Is Honoring Our Commitment to Ukraine |url=https://www.grammarly.com/blog/support-for-ukraine/ |access-date=2023-12-15 |website=How Grammarly Is Honoring Our Commitment to Ukraine {{!}} Grammarly Blog |language=en}} At the same time, they don't quite assert to be an American but rather a "global" (as one does) company. So, I think, the proposed phrasing accurately conveys facts, while also reflecting the company's own perspective regarding the matter. Steffuld (talk) 15:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

After reading MOS:STYLEVAR, I propose that Grammarly's style of English be American English. Why? Because its headquarters are in the United States, and MOS:TIES says that "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the [...] English of that nation". Should we make the change? -- 27 is my favorite number. You can ask me why here. 15:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I've moved this section here as it looks like WP:PROMO and WP:NOTNEWS. --Hipal (talk) 03:17, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

:I'd tend to agree that this section isn't especially noteworthy and feels promotional. Foxbud (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

This is regarding the security section that has had some contested edits as of late. In particular, the change from:

A few hours after being notified of the vulnerability, Grammarly released an update to fix the issue, which the Google researcher described as "a really impressive response time."

into:

After being notified of the vulnerability a few hours later Grammarly released a hot fix.

I disagree with the claim that the former edit contains redundant information. I would argue that the fact that the Google researcher specifically stated Grammarly's turnaround for the hotfix was "a really impressive response time." suggests that most companies Google deals with usually take a much longer time to release security updates. This fast turnaround time strikes me as relevant and notable information, as it shows that Grammarly displayed an atypical sense of urgency in correcting a critical security vulnerability.

Since there seems to be some amount of disagreement over these edits, I wanted to create this talk section so we could reach consensus. What are people's thoughts on this (in particular: Praxidicae & Alexander Davronov)? Foxbud (talk) 16:21, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

:{{re|Foxbud}} It's enough to state a mere fact that the bug was fixed quickly. Otherwise, such statement needs to meet WP:GNG i.e. have many sources stating that that specific researcher's opinion was really notable. See also WP:NOTOPINION of WP:SOAPBOX. AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 11:52, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

::That's fair. Looking through a somewhat arbitrary selection of articles on the vulnerability, some incidentally mention the researcher's "really impressive response time" quote, but I wouldn't say that any assign special significance to it. Maybe my argument for keeping it veers into WP:NOR territory. Foxbud (talk) 17:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

:::I think your argue is genuinely coherent, but I don't agree with so much things you said. 177.105.90.44 (talk) 17:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

::::@177.105.90.44: I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you disagree with my original argument for keeping this content, Alexander Davronov's argument for removing it, or my follow up comment agreeing with Alexander Davronov? Foxbud (talk) 16:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

The paragraph in history that mentions a security vulnerability in the browser extension currently says the extension was in a "beta version." I can't seem to find any mention of it being a beta version in the provided sources.

@Myuno, it looks like you introduced this change [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grammarly&diff=prev&oldid=1126486557 here]. Would you mind clarifying where you found this information? It's possible I'm misunderstanding the information presented in the cited project-zero bug report. Foxbud (talk) 17:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

{{Edit COI|ans=y}}

Hey there! I'm a Grammarly employee with a conflict of interest, so I'm using the edit request system to suggest changes to the company article. For my first request, I've got a History section draft that I would like independent editors to take a look at. I'm going to put a side-by-side comparison in this post, so that everybody can see the changes I've made line-by-line, but in general, I tried to streamline the existing content, firm up sourcing on a couple of claims, and add information about significant developments in the company's history. I've taken pains to source that information from reliable media outlets that have no affiliation with Grammarly.

Here is the side-by-side comparison. My draft is on the right:

I know I'm putting forward quite a bit in this request, so editors shouldn't hesitate to reach out with feedback or questions. If I can make the review process easier in any way, or if I need to revise anything in the draft, I'll do so to the best of my ability. Thanks! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 19:35, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

:Not done Your proposed version downplays the vulnerability in three different ways. First, it leave out the phrase "exposed authentication tokens to websites", which is the only line in there that explains what Grammarly actually did wrong. Second, it attributes the ability to "hackers" rather than the websites that the tokens exposed to. Calling someone you exposed those credentials to a hacker is technically correct, but a quick Ctrl-f didn't show that it was done in the source you cite and to my ear it seems less neutral. Thirdly, you add a bunch of info to that section which is, frankly, less important that the vulnerability. If I had my druthers, we'd make the discussion of the vulnerability more prominent, not less.

:The last paragraph is also problematic. If you want to mention the AI detection tool, you should also cite [https://www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-innovation/artificial-intelligence/2024/02/09/professors-proceed-caution-using-ai] or similar saying "A big question driving these decisions is: Do AI-detection tools even work?"

:Fell free to submit another edit request to correct the spelling of peoples names. That seems like a good change.McYeee (talk) 06:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

::Hey User:McYeee, I appreciate the feedback even though you disagree with most of what I'm putting forward. I fixed the misspelling of Alex Shevchenko's name in my post above. Thanks for catching that.

::I'm willing to drop my suggestion to streamline the vulnerability passage. You make a strong argument for keeping it as-is. As far as your criticism re: Grammarly's AI detection tool, I did my best to briefly explain how the product works, as opposed to making a claim about its efficacy. I'm aware that AI detection tools in general can be faulty, but I'm discussing a specific one. That said, I'm open to dropping the Authorship passage as well, since I don't have a reliable source that vouches for its accuracy.

::Putting those two issues to one side, perhaps we can find some common ground. My goal isn't to overload the section with irrelevant content. I'm trying to develop a clear, informative, well-sourced picture of the company's history, which includes raising funds, making investments, developing and launching new products, etc. Do you think any aspect of my draft succeeds in doing that? Is there anything that's almost correct but could stand to be adjusted?

::Appreciate any further feedback you can provide. I'll await your response and will then do what I can to improve the draft. Thanks! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 20:45, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

:{{Respond|yellowcheck|Partly done:}} Looking again at EZH's response, the information is good. I've reorganized the article slightly to avoid what I see as problems related to WP:DUE. I've stricken my previous conclusion of not done.McYeee (talk) 06:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello again! I wanted to ask if the community would consider changing the infobox in this article to a "company" one. (The infobox currently uses the "software" template.) The article's content sort of splits the difference between discussing Grammarly as a product and Grammarly as a company, but I think it makes sense to lean into the latter, as the company has become quite sizable over the years and receives a fair amount of press coverage that has little or nothing to do with its flagship product.

I mocked up a "company" infobox:

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if we do go ahead with this infobox change, it might make sense to alter the article introduction as well. I'm not trying to do that here, just raising it as a potential issue to be tackled in the future.

OK, I'll now step out of the way and let the community discuss my suggested change. Thanks! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 03:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

:Is the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" verifiably due weight? McYeee (talk) 04:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

:I would suggest the confusion is really the fault of the company for naming its flagship product the same name as the company. Does Grammarly produce any other notable products? If we took away every mention of the Grammarly software the article would surely meet the criteria for deletion.

A [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grammarly&oldid=1248748191 recent version] of the article had some information about Grammarly's efforts to help Ukrainians following Russia's invasion of the country in 2022.

:{{Respond|greencheck2|Done}} I felt like placing this in it's own section may come across as promotional in tone, so I've put it within the history section for now.

I'm putting this forward as its own section because it's a particularly significant effort for the company, which was founded in Ukraine and still has a sizable footprint there. I could also see this content as a subsection within the History. I'll let other editors decide what's best. I'm happy to field any questions or concerns about the content and sourcing as well. Thanks! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 18:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

:It reads like publicity rather than content in an encyclopedia article.

:The first two references are fine. The Bloomberg piece is just a warmed-over press release and shouldn't be used.

:I'm not sure what to make of the last two references, and it's unclear if they demonstrate WP:DUE mention in this article.

:The first sentence is not verified by the first two references, rather they reported it as an announcement that Grammarly would be doing so. --Hipal (talk) 21:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

{{Edit COI|a}}

Hello again! I'm requesting a few updates to the article's introduction. I've put together a draft, which independent editors can review by clicking the dropdown below. My draft replaces primary and low-quality sourcing on claims that Grammarly was founded in Ukraine and is "cloud-based." It also adds a sentence about Grammarly's generative AI capabilities that's roughly in line with what's contained in the article's History section.

The most meaningful revision I'm seeking is changing the basic description of Grammarly from "typing assistant" to "writing assistant." I think that's a more accurate term for the product and it's one I've seen in several reliable sources. In my draft, I cited this [https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/why-the-grammarly-app-is-so-much-better-than-the-browser-extension-and-how-to-configure-it/ 2024 ZDNet piece] but for further proof that Grammarly is commonly referred to as a "writing assistant," I offer these articles:

• [https://www.fastcompany.com/91033463/grammarly-most-innovative-companies-2024 Fast Company]: "Grammarly has been using AI in its writing assistant for a decade, but the generative AI boom created a new opportunity for it to improve its service."
• [https://techcrunch.com/2020/09/29/grammarly-launches-new-features-to-improve-your-business-writing/ TechCrunch]: "Today’s updates to Grammarly’s writing assistant are largely based on the company’s AI smarts, though some remain mostly rule-based, too. On the AI side, the service’s new tools for rewriting systems may be the most interesting ones."
• [https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/grammarlys-new-ai-tool-is-available-in-beta-now/ CNET]: "Grammarly, the company behind the digital writing assistant of the same name, is expanding its artificial intelligence resources with a new generative AI tool called GrammarlyGo."
• A 2023 [https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/grammarly PC Mag] review describes Grammarly as "[a] slick writing assistant for all your documents."

Here's my draft. I highlighted all new copy. (That "additionally" bit is just a grammatical tweak.) Anything that's not highlighted is the same as it currently appears in the article.

:The first two paragraphs consist of shorter version of claims made in the body of the article. I'm using citations in the last paragraph, which just states where the company operates. That information isn't in the body, but I think it's basic and important enough to be included in an article introduction. Of course, more experienced editors would know better than I do.

• The typical guidance for lead sections states that references are to be omitted in that location in favor of being placed in the main body sections where the information is later mentioned. As such, I dont see this proposal as being an improvement.

::{{done}} {{ping|AZH for Grammarly}} I implemented the changes. The content in the article supports the revised lead. I left in the two sources at the bottom, despite {{ping|Spintendo}}'s concerns about having sources in the lead, because this version reduces the overall source count. Not making perfect the enemy of better. If this were a company article, I'd suggest adding an operations section. Instead, since it's a software article, I recommend adding a Grammarly Inc. section. You could include a company infobox to the right, the location info with sources from the lead (then I could delete the sources in the lead), the names of the leadership team, any employee count you can source and maybe even revenue, if it can be sourced. It's a bit more work, but would improve the article. I'm happy to review if you want to ping me. STEMinfo (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I looked into publicly available revenue figures and could only find broad estimates, so I've elected not to include that information. For the employee count in the infobox, I cited the company site's About page because I couldn't find a better source. If that's not acceptable, we can get rid of that line. With Grammarly being a privately held company, that number might be tough to keep updated anyway.

If STEMinfo or any other interested editors have feedback on my draft, please feel free to reply below this post. Thanks! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 21:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

{{Edit COI|G}}

Hello! I'm requesting a few updates related to Grammarly's acquisition of Coda. At the end of the History section, there's a passage about the acquisition that cites a blog post from Coda's company site. I've got a couple of stronger, non-primary sources for that passage, which I'll lightly revise here:

:In December 2024, Grammarly announced that it was acquiring the productivity startup Coda in order to expand its AI offerings.{{cite news |last=Primack |first=Dan |date=December 18, 2024 |title=Grammarly is buying Coda to expand AI offerings |url=https://www.axios.com/2024/12/18/grammarly-is-buying-coda-to-expand-ai-offerings |work=Axios |access-date=February 24, 2025}} As part of the deal, Coda CEO Shishir Mehrotra replaced Rahul Roy-Chowdhury as Grammarly's CEO.{{cite news |last=Malik |first=Aisha |date=December 17, 2024 |title=Grammarly acquires productivity startup Coda, brings on new CEO |url=https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/17/grammarly-acquires-productivity-startup-coda-brings-on-new-ceo/?guccounter=1 |work=TechCrunch |access-date=February 24, 2025}}

The Grammarly Inc. section and its corresponding infobox also need to be updated. The infobox is easy enough. I'll suggest a replacement for the last sentence of the section here:

:Grammarly Inc. is led by Shishir Mehrotra, who became the company's CEO in 2024.

Thank you in advance to any editors who review this request! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 20:40, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:{{Respond|bluecheck2|Go ahead:}} I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Without the "in order to expand its AI offerings" bit, that phrasing while not egregious feels somewhat press-release-ish. Feel free to propose alternative ways to work in the relevant information.

::Thanks, User:Rusalkii! I just posted the edits to the article, minus the brief passage about expanding AI offerings. Really appreciate the help! AZH for Grammarly (talk) 17:26, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
