Talk:Pol.is

Promotional content flag
@TheTechie, any chance you can provide more tips on how to remove the advert flag for this article? I have just worked on clarifying the external links since you last reviewed the page Superb Owl (talk) 04:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I realize you do not mean it to be promotional, but it reads as such, with language such as, "vTaiwan has relied on pol.is as a major component in its efforts to solicit citizen engagement." Maybe I'm mistaken, feel free to get a third opinion. If you reply here, please ping me.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  14:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * And "Darshana Narayanan argues that open-source machine-learning-based tools like Polis can help to bypass the influence of special interests or experts. The software is intended as an antidote to the divisiveness of traditional internet discourse." If you reply here, please ping me.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  14:46, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate the expert view since you see so many new articles - it was something I was worried about because of taking only from articles linked on their website that it might end up seeming promotional.
 * I moved the second paragraph to a 'Reception' section with clearer attribution and used a quote for the first sentence to improve attribution there too. Superb Owl (talk) 19:17, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @TheTechie, I took another pass at the article and removed the template. There was some promotional language that I had missed the first time around for sure. Curious to know what you think. Superb Owl (talk) 23:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Still inadaquate, but I have replaced it with an NPOV tag as I think that's more accurate.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  18:50, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @TheTechie, sorry to both you again - you have been super helpful in balancing this article out (creating an article alone is never ideal). Any chance you could take another look at the most recent edits to see if the article is written more neutrally? If there's still some NPOV issues but just in one section, could you move the tag to that section or flag in-line? Superb Owl (talk) 19:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

This article still has a lot of puffery and overly-promotional tone. I trimmed a lot of content to make this more encyclopedic. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 19:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you helping out with this and like many of the changes.Some of the detail that was trimmed seemed notable and encyclopedic, such as how the algorithm works. What are your thoughts on that aspect of the article? Superb Owl (talk) 20:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
