In 2012, BuzzFeed described Wikimedia Commons as "littered with dicks".» We know this is plainly false (we have more photos of trams, locator maps, and shoelace tiying diagrams than any kind of porn, even when you include the raphaëlites in it) — could this fact be independently sourced?

message: Hi everyone! I am in a course about Wikipedia and for our final project, we were challenged to address a problem in Wikipedia, conduct research on it and then report our findings with a suggestion for improvement. For the project, my partner and I decided to address the issue of Wikimedia Commons and how the discoverability and searchability need to improve. I am not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, so if you have a better place, please let me know!! Please go to my talk page if you would be willing to chat with me about your problems with Wikimedia Commons and how we can address those. Thanks in advance!

Talk:Médard des Groseilliers

message: This article describes the subject as having defected to the English which, as it stands, provides a derogatory view of this person as a "defector." The article omits essential facts and historical background: 1) There was no War to defect from – and French law at the time did not forbid a French person from doing business with the English, Spanish, etc. And, this was a time in history when the Ancien Regime controlled everything for their own financial gain. Radisson went to the "English" because of the greed and ineptitude of the French Aristocracy . To see a proper presentation of ALL the facts, please see the website article written by a qualified Professor of History that includes the passage:
*Radisson tells of the hard usage he and his brother-in-law (Médard des Groseilliers) suffered when greedy officials confiscated a large part of the furs, threw the older man into jail, and fined both men – presumably for having gone to the west without the governor’s permission.

thread_title:  Drafts for the missing Faberbe eggs 

message: The article defines a Fabergé egg as an egg essentially produced during the lifetime of Carl Fabergé. I am not sure that is entirely accurate, as one could make the argument a Fabergé egg is anything that is officially produced by an actual Fabergé workmaster. This makes sense as Carl Fabergé himself didn't really produce those eggs himself anyway (for the most part). If we say eggs are considered Fabergé eggs who were produced by official Fabergé workmasters (regardless of Peter Carl being alive or not), then this would include the eggs produced by Victor Mayer -- which is also what Fabergé defines as such on their current history (https://www.faberge.com/the-world-of-faberge/faberge-history). 
Before just updating the article, I wanted to hear differing opinions of the community.
I also want to highlight that there are some confusing phases between 1920 and now on what is actually "Fabergé" and I want to stress that I particularly only want to include the Victor Mayer eggs as Fabergé eggs. This is unlike the licenses given to the Franklin Mint and the Essex Marketing Company, who were allowed by Unilever to produce "Fabergé eggs" and branded products, but they were never actual Fabergé workmasters. Those two companies produced mass consumer products, while Victor Mayer was not just licensed but actually produced with and for Fabergé Limited and is still the Workmaster to this day. 
Thanks!

Talk:Baháʼí Faith/Archive NPOV

message: This article does indeed look like an advertisement pamphlet in some places. I think that giving factual evidence for all that praise would surely help. One example: "Bahá'ís have also become increasingly involved in projects of social and economic development around the world." is absolutely not factual. It's just a statement that is quite biased. Is this a claim of some Bahai guy or is it a fact? And if it's a fact, you need to qualify it by saying "Bahais spent 10 zillions of dollars building hydroelectric plants in poor countries" or "Bahais printed 10 trillions of copies of multiplication tables and gave them to poor children", stuff like that. :) Any evidence that Bahais are in fact involved, preferably with some references.
I would not dive in editing this article, because my knowledge of Bahai religion is limited, so I could only go through the text and delete all such unstubstantiated claims. It would be better if someone more familiar with the subject would try to locate some facts and references first. Paranoid 14:18, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Baháʼí Faith/Archive Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh and division

message: Hi, I'm Jonathan Menon and I am a Canadian living in Italy. I have just found Wikipedia and made a couple of changes today, including changing the word "excommunicated" to "expelled". In my opinion the term "excommunicated" is a very "loaded" word, carrying a great deal of residual assumptions with it from its history in the Catholic church, one of which is the power of the Pope and the way that power has been exercised over the centuries. Of course, the very definition of power in the Faith and the use of authority by the Institutions of the Faith, is very different from this particular reading. "Expelled" has less baggage with it, and I thought it would be more appropriate.
I also have some other things to add, which I will do over the next while. 
I would like to see this article become a featured article, and am willing to help in achieving that.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

message: 204.50.168.164 says he eliminated some unnecessary and very marginal information.  Most of the information he removed regards the very small (tiny) division in the Faith and other negative attitudes towards the Baha'i Faith.  Even though I'm a Baha'i and don't believe those negative viewpoints, I see them as necessary in the article to keep a NPOV.  Thus in the spirit of being impartial I am reverting them.  --Navidazizi 15:18, 06 Jan 2005 (UTC)
