POV caution
Characterising media and major commentators in boxing saying that a judging result is unacceptable as "fans being upset" is so close to lying on both fronts of who (significant people) and what (criticising judges, not merely being upset), that it looks like a POV edit because you DONTLIKEIT. To insist on only this one thing, when there are many actual examples of fans just being upset (the opening ceremony 'controversy' for one) there, further makes it seem like you have something against a specific inclusion. If that's not the case, I invite you to explain yourself - and without the shouting this time, hey. Kingsif (talk) 03:28, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I also suggest taking up invitations to discuss before you find yourself section-blanking without a reason (personal disagreement with inclusion is not sufficient for section-blanking) - not to mention the edge of edit warring. Consider this message warnings for both. Kingsif (talk) 03:36, 30 July 2024 (UTC)'
- Drop the threats. They will never convince me I'm wrong. Is that the way you always discuss things? HiLo48 (talk) 03:49, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Toilet paper revert
I respectfully disagree with removing the specific brand mentions from the Toilet paper article. While it's true that some brands may be more prevalent in certain regions, the inclusion of these particular brands is justified for the following reasons:
Global Presence: Brands such as Charmin are not confined to one country. They are widely available in North America, including Canada and Mexico. This broad distribution demonstrates their significance in the global market. Both Charmin and Cottonelle toilet paper are widely available in Canada and Mexico. You can find them in both countries' major grocery stores and retail outlets.
Cultural Significance: Some of these brands, like Cottonelle, have achieved a level of cultural recognition, as evidenced by their dedicated Misplaced Pages article. This indicates a notable impact on popular culture and consumer behavior.
Informative Value: Including specific brands provides readers with concrete examples and can enhance their understanding of the product category. It allows for more detailed comparisons and discussions, particularly when analyzing marketing strategies, packaging design, or consumer preferences.
We risk losing valuable information and context by removing these specific brand mentions. I propose we reinstate the original content, ensuring it remains neutral and avoids undue promotion. If concerns about specificity persist, we could consider a more general approach, such as categorizing brands by region or market share. However, I believe that the current inclusion of specific brands is appropriate and beneficial to the article.
Additionally, I would like to point out that it would have been more productive for the editor to raise their concerns on the article's talk page rather than resorting to a full revert. This would have allowed for a more collaborative and constructive discussion about the content. Whoisjohngalt (talk) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
