Is it too subjective?
I was about to edit what I thought was subjective in the first paragraph, where it brags about its stats as most visited reference work, and I was about to delete it but I wanted to check first to make sure it wasn't subjective. Empirejack182 (talk) 23:20, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
:You will need to build a convincing case the sources given in that paragraph are not reliable. They look good to me. Johnjbarton (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
::I read them, they look good. Empirejack182 (talk) 23:05, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
:I know this discussion ended, but I wanted to revitalize this because I read the first sentence, which feels a bit subjective or NPOV to me:
:
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, written and maintained by a community of volunteers, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and the wiki software MediaWiki.
:The information is true, but the phrasing seems a bit like advertising/promoting the wiki and too long. I think just mentioning that it is a wiki is enough.
:My rephrasing proposal:
:
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia in the form of a wiki hosted through the wiki software MediaWiki.
:I think the open collaboration part can go in other sentences (maybe a new sentence after this should be made?).
:Looking forward to everyone's thoughts! :) grafiXal (talk) 18:28, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
