Template:PAIDWATCH (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was created, and thus far predominately placed, by User:Mistress Selina Kyle, who was blocked (for 6 months this time) for an overzealous "whistleblower" editing attitude. The only other placement of this was here, where a user was (arguably) engaged in an edit war over detailed environmental impact data, and used this tag to accompany his accusation that his opponents were industry insiders.

This template weighs on one POV, against corporate advocacy. We already have {{COI}} for when someone wants to voice concerns over any conflict of interest, and I think that's a much better option. I don't see any need for a special "corporate COI" tag, as this seems to be, and I foresee its primary use being misuse for its chilling effect in content disputes.

a better template may be:
-- Uzma Gamal (talk) 19:42, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The current Template:WikiProject Cooperation ...
... seems similar. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 23:42, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Template:WikiProject Cooperation seems promotional, subjective, and, assuming that "has been improved" could be established as being true, it would be true only so long as no one else subsequently edited the article differently. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 07:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete but substitute - The alternative template by Uzma Gamal is better. Factseducado (talk) 18:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd hold off on implementing such a replacement. The current discussions over the acceptability of paid editing seems to weigh heavily on this, and we shouldn't implement something like this until that question is settled. Note that the replacement tag above was suggested by a paid editor, which is itself a COI with this issue (appreciating that they pointed this out themselves).

Template:Barcelona Metro/line list (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is being used as a navbox but is completely redundant to the more standard Template:Barcelona Metro line navbox. See Barcelona Metro line 2 for example of both being used in the same article. Mackensen (talk) 22:20, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
