Some content removed as too close to advertising

User:The Banner removed some content which they felt was too close to advertising. I think some of it may be rescued if rewritten, so let's link it here in case someone reads this and wants to reuse it. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:47, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Banner: Since you removed what you considered advertising, I don't see the need to the advert warning, which I have removed. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:23, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the article after seeing a message on Drmies' talk page, and I noted that Liakapia had been trying to make the new section less advert-like. I tightened it up some more and turned the 2 inline links - one to UK Cosmo, which isn't bad, and one to an academic article, which is fine - into fully identified footnotes. With the next edit I merged it and the previous section, since they had substantial overlap; this involved more tightening, and I couldn't resist also fixing some of the rough English in the article. (I also zapped a lot of excessive links). I think it's now adequately referenced, and except for the "you" and unnecessary editorialising about skin whitening, I think Liakapia had not done a bad job in their last version (and we were already describing it as a "beauty cult" in Wikipedia's voice, which is overblown unless very good sources actually use that phrasing). But we didn't need a new section on substantially the same thing. Yngvadottir (talk) 12:31, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
