649:. You say an advocacy group should describe what it stands for - I completely agree - a general description should be included (and it is). But I disagree that their various stances (support/oppose) on whatever issues of the day should be included (unless it received coverage from *independent* secondary sources). Also - why is Robert N Rayne being pushed front and centre? That is puffery. Also - what is the purpose of the various lists (chairpersons, etc)? That is also puffery. Those details are unnecessary.

and clearly, the text in this article breaches policy. I disagree with many of your assertions above. If you check the source of the "historical info", you will find that the sources are based completely on announcements made by the association and the articles are full of quotations and attributions

I deleted references to the 1972 workshop and their opposition in the early 1970s to the construction on Lamma Island. Both are referenced by their own press releases and announcements. Knowledge (XXG) is not a platform for advocacy and articles should not contain unreferenced puffery such as what an

I reverted the edits because the rationale didn't make sense. i.e. to delete most of the history section, recently added by me, on grounds that it is puffery/promotion/supporting a cause – I don't have any connection to the group nor any interest in promoting their cause, and I object to a flippant
574:
I rephrased the order of the starting sentence in "History". I have no idea why Robert N Rayne is being put front and centre as the founder with the list of the other founder trailing behind. I nominated Robert's article for deletion. It is an unnecessary detail that Robert became chairman and took

You guys have edited the article and you're the content experts. I'm not. I whizzed through the article, made edits that I thought improved it both for content and style, reverted once because sometimes with edits this large, they're seen as passing vandalism and now I leave you guys to decide
639:
Well, as I already said, I'll leave it to you guys to write the article. I'm not sure what a "flippant implication" actually is, but nowhere was there even a suggestion that COI was a factor and I did not make any statements that you were personally advocating, only that
613:. I am not an expert on this subject either. I just did a search in the archives and wrote what is reflected in coverage from the time. The historical info isn't referenced to "their own press releases and announcements", but of press coverage of their activities in the

An article on an advocacy group should describe what it stands for, just as an article on a politician should cover his/her political platform. I don't see how this is "puffery"... otherwise the article doesn't serve the function of explaining the subject at hand.

I'd already left this one and wasn't intending to take part further. I am not a content expert on this topic and I only arrived here after the AfD. But, seeing as we're here, in summary, this is what
Citobun objects to in the edits I made:

I removed the sentence starting "The ogranization advocated" as it is puffery and self-referenced. Knowledge (XXG) is not a platform for marketing and is not a platform for advocacy.

although this is not an edit war I think that continually reverting each other's deletes is verging on that type of behaviour. Can we discuss the issue and reach consensus?
