Talk:Standard Ebooks

Removal of promotional content
My edits to this page were flagged with a promotional content template. I have performed the following steps.
 * Removed all references that linked back to the Standard Ebooks website.
 * Added additional reference links from other sources.
 * Removed information about Kindle and Kobo e-reader devices.
 * Removed the "Unique content" section because it referenced the project's own work on it's website.
 * Added a "criticisms" section to strengthen the neutrality of the page.

Since I was the editor that made the edits in question, it would be a conflict of interest to remove the promotional template made an edit that referenced the appearance of promotional content. , since you commented in the history on this previously, can you review my changes for impartiality?

 * Thanks for these edits. The promo flag is removed on this basis. The article might still benefit from some expansion such as more secondary coverage (reviews, impact of the platform, etc), but will not belabour things for now. Dl2000 (talk)

Primary source reliance
This page has been flagged with a Primary Sources tag by @Stuartyeates, and I'm wondering what can be done to ameliorate that. Of the 12 sources cited, 9 are definitely secondary, and a further 2 are archived posts, with only one reference to the live site. This represents basically all of the coverage of the project that I can find on the internet - I don't think that it's realistic to expect additional secondary sourcing, especially given a lack of controversy in those sources.

I would propose that the tag be removed. Smith (talk)  10:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Exactly six months later, and I concur, although we are down to 10 sources. Packer1028 (talk) 12:29, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
