(possibly) promotional paragraph

the third paragraph of this article, the part talking about wikipedia, sounds a little promotional to me. it mentions some extra content about wikipedia that is either not necessary, or conveyed in a way to make wikipedia sound special in some way. but i'm a student, and i don't know everything about grammar, tone, and stuff like that so idk, tell me what you guys think and if we should change it

That is what I thought too! It sounded like WP:COI, but a bit more subtle. I do not know how to change it so it could be more neutral. My best guess is we add examples of other wikis, but the problem is there are not really any other wikis. Otherwise, we could have moved it to the history paragraph, and with a little bit of editing it would probably fit. But, there is a paragraph with roughly the same idea.

Editing body of knowledge and reference list

I am editing the body of knowledge by rephrasing the sentences to suit the proper grammar and clarity of language. I am also updating the reference list to be more abreast with modern and current knowledge that is related. The decision-making topic should be a subtopic under responsibilities and should be updated to suit the current trends. Pbuahbas (talk) 02:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
