Jamie Broadnax

Hi Nonexistentcommunity. I've undone your recent edits to the Jamie Broadnax article, because the entire section was WP:EXCESSDETAIL, and also went against WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTSOAPBOX. On top of that, parts of it were WP:OR and lacked WP:V. The § Biography already mentions the Universal FanCon controversy. I would, however, like to add to the article that she's no longer the CEO of the Black Girl Nerds, which you mentioned; do you have a reliable source for this? --77.173.90.33 (talk) 22:15, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 77.173.90.33. The § Biography article did not originally mention the FanCon scandal. It cited the successful campaign but made no mention of the scandal within the text. I have no issue with the edit overall, but it requires further changes. First, she announced that she was stepping down as editor-and-chief ("EIC" in the exact text) of Black Girl Nerds, not "CEO", via tweet. Which is an important distinction. She has since scrubbed her account, and the only direct sources of it are screenshots (I don't believe that should be posted here as WP:EXCESSDETAIL among other violations, but if need be I will provide them). Second, when you removed my text you also removed the reference to "The Beat" article which I provided. That reference should be re-added as it is a verified source. Third, the issue was not a "controversy" but "scandal", as the issue was brought to litigation by certain parties after the event. It was not merely public outcry, as "controversy" implies, and is against WP:NOTSOAPBOX and this bio should be factual and WP:NOTADVERTISING. Finally, there was a minor typo, which I have now fixed.

Hi again Nonexistentcommunity. Thank you for your feedback. You are right, it required further changes. I've just made this edit, where I re-added the The Beat reference, including a sentence that states MacDonald classifies the convention as a scam, and that it left people "angered by the debacle and how it affected the marginalized fandoms it was meant to help". Also, thank you for fixing the typo. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 17:02, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
