Ownership

You are exhibiting an alarming amount of ownership over the Nicotine pouch article. References to "other articles" (which are largely your own creation also) are not valid arguments. The discussion of individual brands of a product properly lives under the marketing heading to avoid giving undue weight to the topic. Apologies: I had thought you reverted my edit outright, rather than keeping a "Brands" heading. I still believe the "Brands" topic belongs as a subhead of "Marketing", but that is a fine point that I am willing to concede. WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 14:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

I can confirm the alarming amount of ownership. All the examples are too numerous to list, but here's one.

His phrasing (placed under Research)
Organizations in Kenya are concerned that the nicotine pouches may raise the risk of cancer, heart disease, and reproductive or developmental harms. Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance objected to the entrance of nicotine pouches in Kenya. They stated that there is no reliable research that demonstrates nicotine pouches are safer than regular cigarettes.

My rephrasing (moved to Opposition), CN and FV tags are his
The Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance objected to the entrance of nicotine pouches in Kenya. They are concerned that the nicotine pouches may raise the risk of cancer, heart disease, and reproductive or developmental harms. They also stated that there is no reliable research that demonstrates nicotine pouches are safer than regular cigarettes.

After my rephrasing he added CN and FV tags all over the place, despite the reference being very clear. It's like he sabotages content that he didn't write himself by adding ridiculous tagging requirements after every single sentence. Related sentences can be combined together, as long as the reference listed next applies to them all. He seems to use CN and FV tags in order to discourage participation on "his articles".KristofferR (talk) 19:05, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

References

1. ^ Kabale, Nasibo (8 June 2019). "Lobby has raised an alarm, saying the introduction of pouches could result in increased risk for cancer". Daily Nation. Cite error: The named reference "Kabale2019" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).

It is "Organizations in Kenya" not "They" The word "also" failed verification. Why was the citation removed from the sentence? How come the spam and failed verification content has not been removed from the article? QuackGuru (talk) 19:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

My point exactly. He takes issue with the word "also" being used to string related sentences together, and requires a reference for it. "Organizations" were removed because the reference mentions a single organization.

Many of the other "failed verification" are also completely invalid, he puts it on pages from the government of Norway...KristofferR (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

See "Lobbies have raised an alarm, saying the pouches could result in increased risk for cancer, heart disease and reproductive or developmental effects."

"Organizations" were removed but the sentence does not mention any single organization. The source does not verify the current claim. Sourced content was replaced failed verification content throughout the article. QuackGuru (talk) 19:31, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Again, the sentences are connected and should be read together.

The article should perhaps be considered unreliable, considering how it consistently misspells the name of the organization Ketca as Ketco. "Lobbies" is too vague and unspecified to rely on, it could very well be another language error. KristofferR (talk) 19:37, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

The word "Lobbies" does not mean "Kenya Tobacco Control Alliance". That's the reason it fails verification. "Organizations in Kenya" passed verifiability. Sourced content was obviously replaced with failed verification. QuackGuru (talk) 19:40, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

The article is clearly speaking about Ketca and not other organizations. "Organizations" (plural) is completely unsourced in the article. "Lobby" (singular) is used in the article title and ingress ("Lobby has raised an alarm, saying the introduction of pouches could result in increased risk for cancer"), it is clear that it is referring to the only lobby mentioned in the article. "Lobbies" is unusable as evidence of plurality.KristofferR (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

See "Lobbies have raised an alarm,...". That is plural not singular. The source is making a more general claim. QuackGuru (talk) 20:04, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

This has been continued here: Talk:Nicotine_pouch#Alarming_amount_of_Ownership_and_unreliable_source_about_Kenya, as it became more relevant for an article talk page than a user talk page. KristofferR (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Did you add the company website to the article? QuackGuru (talk) 16:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
