Talk:The Beacon (Cleveland)

Connected Contributor
An editor added connected contributor to this article's page here. The editor's contribution history and username strongly suggest that the user is in fact a "connected contributor" and added that template to the page as a good faith effort to comply with the spirit of Wikipedia's policies. Whether or not that effort was sufficient or not is best left to that editor's talk page. Since that editor has not edited in several days, much less edited in any way contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines in several days, I'm going to "let sleeping dogs lie" and not mention the editor's name here. That way, if the template is properly removed either because the editor is not a "connected contributor" or because all of that editor's edits have been re-written by people without any conflict of interest in the subject, there will be nothing on this page that could cast the editor in a negative light.

Another editor removed the template entirely without moving it to the article's talk page, probably thinking it was general cleanup of a template that was put here by mistake as it did not name a particular editor.

I will restore the template to this talk page shortly.

As an aside, several days ago I posted two different notices on the editor's talk page regarding Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  15:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Reorganized info
I've reordered the information in this article to now follow a chronological timeline of development through construction of the building. This included moving information about the rationale behind construction from the lead to the body of the article, in alignment with MOS:LEADLENGTH.

That being said, I do not think that paragraph should be part of the article (and my removal of it was reversed so I'll leave that as a discussion point). If the need for a new apartment building is spearheaded by population growth, why had there been efforts to build an apartment building in the same spot a decade ago? Development of new buildings in a city is a very common occurrence and the data about Cleveland's population feels like one editor's efforts to pad out the length/citation count of an article that was previously flagged for advertising.
