Requested edit 21 June 2022

[edit]

I'd also like to share a proposed expansion of the current page, to address the "expansion needed" tag and make other improvements, if anyone is willing to review it for potential bias as required by WP:COI. Brian.klein.1k (talk) 17:30, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Mckaysalisbury: for reviewing! One question: the page still has a "needs expansion" tag at the top. Does the introductory section need expansion or was the tag just overlooked from the prior version? If the introductory section does need expansion, I'd like to propose a second attempt at trying to make a shorter, more neutral introductory paragraph:
  • Coda is a cloud-based multi-user document editor.[1][2][3] Its developer, Coda Project, Inc., was founded in June 2014.[4] The first commercial version of the software was released in February 2019.[5]

I appreciate this, but I don't personally like it. Information about the developer isn't so relevant it belongs in the header, nor is the initial release? McKay (talk) 16:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mckaysalisbury: I'm thinking the introductory section does not need expansion then and the tag could be removed without changes? Because if the introduction is only summarizing the Features section, which itself is just one paragraph long, a one-sentence summary seems appropriate. Or do you feel the introduction needs expansion as the tag says? Brian.klein.1k (talk) 22:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand that you don't like it; I don't like it either, but I still believe more than a single sentence is ideal, and expansion is desirable. I'm just not sure what that should be. So, I agree with the tag as is. McKay (talk) 02:44, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mckaysalisbury: Got it. It sounds like we're looking for a summary of the Features section that is longer than one sentence, but shorter than the Features section itself. Maybe about 3 sentences? That would be about half the length of the Features section itself. How about this?
"Coda is a cloud-based multi-user document editor.[1][2][3] It has features similar to those found in spreadsheets, presentation files, word processors, or apps.[6][7][8] However, users can setup automations and link to data or files from other documents.[6][7][9]"

Hmm, that still feels like advertising copy, and not encyclopedia copy. I think I'd value something orthogonal to it's features. I don't know, maybe the product is too small right now to deserve a larger header? McKay (talk) 15:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mckaysalisbury: It flows logically that if the introduction should not summarize the Features nor the Development section, and those are the only two sections, then the one-sentence summary is probably appropriate and should not require expansion at this time. My intention was to follow your/the tag's feedback, but it seems OK for a page this short.

Coda.io → Coda (document editor) – I have disclosed a WP:COI as I work in marketing at Coda. The current page name is the URL of the Coda website but is not how most reliable sources refer to the company or service. Most sources just call it Coda. Coda.io was most likely adopted because Wikipedia has more than two dozen pages on various topics that go by the name "Coda," so there is a palpable need to disambiguate. I suggest "Coda (document editor)," which is more consistent with how reliable sources generally refer to Coda.Brian.klein.1k (talk) 17:30, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
