Hello, I'm Agucova. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Kaenon Polarized have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. agucova (talk) 05:31, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry! I had mistaken it for accidental deletion, I see now that it was justified. agucova (talk) 05:33, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Intervention on Comau page

Hi SoupDweller, I'm Rechipedia, and I'm writing to you to talk about your last contribution to Comau. I would like to know more about your choice to cancel entire sections of information on this page: what do you mean "superfluous"? It was real news about the company, with the reference source, that the community has worked to add to this page. Thank you for your clarifications. --Rechipedia (talk) 08:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)Rechipedia

Hello Rechipedia, thank you for reaching out. I called the sections 'superfluous' because the information didn't seem relevant to an encyclopedia entry. It was specific info that would be better read on their website. The language it was written in also seemed too partial, subjective, very much bordering on advertising copy. Because Wikipedia has guidelines against companies using the site for marketing purposes, I felt it appropriate to delete what sounded like advertising language.

Hi SoupDweller,

thank you very much for your answer and for your considerations about the page. Now I'm clear on what you meant, and I understand your opinion: sometimes the language was not suitable with Wikipedia.

But I still remain in doubt about the "superfluity": as an encyclopedia, the more information there is, the more complete it is. Always with the exact sources, I mean. And always written with the right tone of voice. What do you think about it?

I agree that articles with more information create a more complete picture of the subject. However, I think there is a limit as it pertains to Wikipedia articles. the article included information describing Comau's involvement with other companies to change aspects of manufacturing or development, for example. I think that's too specific to be included in a Wikipedia article. Another example of superfluity is the separate sections describing the inner workings of their manufacturing technologies, which I think would be better suited as one summary paragraph. Wikipedia is a place for people to get a good general understanding of a subject, and the Comau page, though filled with information, went a little too far in my opinion..

Does this make sense? I'm happy to continue working with you to clarify anything more.

----SoupDweller (talk) 17:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it makes sense.

I agree with you for using a leaner approach for manufacturing technologies, and maybe I could try this surgery; as you've said it's better to abandon partnerships and so on. Your help has been very useful, thank you.
