Hi Danny! —Marchjuly has some concerns over the Brigade Media article - one of which is that it comes across as too promotional. I've tagged them here so they can weigh in as well.

I've tweaked the lead to help give an example of sorts - here's what I did and why I changed things. Below is the original lead and my tweaked version:

• Brigade Media, also known as Brigade, is a platform that aims to utilize political engagement from users and urge politicians to take action. This startup was formed on June 4, 2014, and founded by James Windon, Jason Putorti, John Thrall, Matt Mahan, and Miche Capone. Brigade Media was developed with the hope to bring the government and its citizens together through debates and petitions on controversial issues. The application is a non-partisan platform that intends to more easily brings the peoples' concerns to the nation's policymakers.

• Brigade Media, also known as Brigade, is a civic technology platform that was formed on June 4, 2014, and founded by James Windon, Jason Putorti, John Thrall, Matt Mahan, and Miche Capone. The platform is intended to serve as a way for users to connect with others who share the same or similar views and voice their opinions, create debates, or organize petitions.This process is intended to make the users' concerns more visible to and influential towards United States' policymakers.

I changed the first sentence to start off with when it was formed and by whom- as well as a more specific explanation as to what it was, namely a non-partisan civic technology platform. This was already in the lead, but I wanted to pull it all to one lead introductory sentence. I then merged the "aims to" information with the one about the hopes - this is sort of the same information for the most part, so it can be merged without really losing a whole lot, as there's generally supposed to be more specific information in the lower parts of the article. The last sentence was then tweaked to show what the petitions and such are intended to go towards. I tried to reduce the usage of things like "hope for" since those can sometimes be seen as a little promotional.

I would recommend re-writing the impact section, as stating that it being heavily used by millennials is an accomplishment can be seen as original research. This could probably be relabeled as maybe results since it's more information about numbers and results with the app. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:52, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello Shalor (Wiki Ed) ! Thank you for also tagging Marchjuly about the Brigade Media article concerns! I like the reshuffling that you have done to the lead section, in that it appears more factual and the use of "intending" rather than "hopes" comes off more neutral. Thank you for your recommendation in re-writing the millennial portion of the impact and accomplishments section. I agree that the statistics and such could be put under a Results section to further clarify. Also if I'm not mistaken, I believe Caorongjin also thought the article seemed too promotional. Do any of you have any other suggestions? Dannyticknor (talk) 21:00, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dannyticknor. I normally just post on another editor's talk page myself, but after seeing you're a student and the your adviser is

WP:HERE

. I think these projects are great and lots of articles get improved or created through them. Sometimes, however, the students and their university professors might not be too familiar with Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines, and their goals might not be the same as Wikipedia's.

I'm not sure if or how you're being graded for the class. Technically any page on Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at anytime, but most experienced editors will leave a

WP:DR

and the end result might not be to the student's liking or even an accurate reflection of the student's work.

That's why I don't think it's good for students in these projects to

WikiProject can get good results. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:00, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply
