| Hello, Snowmanonahoe/ Isochrone, I recently edited an article that overused the adjective "generously" to describe a scientist regarding his philanthropic deeds. I changed where I could preface "contributed" and other such notations to not take away too much from the fact. The question is do you come across this type of "bragging" when it comes to what seems to be emotionally invested writers? (It is not to say it is bad to say something good about someone, but I would feel as though I was bragging if someone had bragged about my donations, which is too a highly personal matter and nullifies the point of donations.) --] (]) 12:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC) | Hello, Snowmanonahoe/ Isochrone, I recently edited an article that overused the adjective "generously" to describe a scientist regarding his philanthropic deeds.

Question from Llamalawyer77 (12:47, 1 November 2024)
Hello, Snowmanonahoe/ Isochrone, I recently edited an article that overused the adjective "generously" to describe a scientist regarding his philanthropic deeds. I changed where I could preface "contributed" and other such notations to not take away too much from the fact. The question is do you come across this type of "bragging" when it comes to what seems to be emotionally invested writers? (It is not to say it is bad to say something good about someone, but I would feel as though I was bragging if someone had bragged about my donations, which is too a highly personal matter and nullifies the point of donations.) --Llamalawyer77 (talk) 12:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Llamalawyer77 and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You are indeed correct to remove what we term as "peacock" wording. All Misplaced Pages articles must be written from a neutral point of view (one of our five pillars) and remain impartial to the subject.
- From a quick scan of some of the articles you have edited, I believe (through no fault of your own) that there is still a significant amount of such puffery. You would be correct to remove them and the pages I have linked should provide guidance in doing so.
- I am unsure as to your later question; you may be asking about editors with a conflict of interest, perhaps? Please feel free to expand on your question. – Isochrone (talk) 14:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
