User talk:Wallinleft

Hi Wallinleft,

Thanks for the feedback on the Bleacher Report entry—you were right that the "Newsletters" section should have contained a citation. As a first step towards objectivity, I removed both the "Newsletters" and the "Mobile App" sections, because (as you note) they read too much like ads.

(FYI, I almost removed them myself when another user posted them last month...but hesitated and decided not to. In any case, I'm glad you came along to do the job.)

All that said, I have to disagree with you on the alleged bias of the "Public Relations" section (which I wrote myself). When I first revised the section, it was only a brief/vague sentence about public criticism and the company's attempt to respond. I (a) fleshed out the details of the criticism and response and (b) searched the Web for up-to-date public assessments of the company's efforts to improve...and was only able to find the assessments from Time and AdWeek, which I believe are correctly positioned where they are in the article.

If you know of recent criticisms of B/R that should be included in the "Public Relations" section, please don't hesitate to add them and/or let me know. Again, I looked pretty hard for recent criticism and wasn't able to find any...but that doesn't mean you won't have more luck than I did.

More broadly, please also let me know if you spot any other non-objective sections in the text. I've been working hard to get the page cleaned up (you should have seen it when I found it!)...but your further feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks much! Ryan521982 (talk) 20:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
