Recent removal of content

edit

@Sj, I noticed you recently removed a bunch of content from this page without an edit summary. First of all, it would be helpful if you can please use a edit summary, particularly for edits like this. It would help users decipher your intentions in removing the content.

That being said, I agree with some parts of the edit and disagree with others, so I'll describe my quibbles in more detail:

  • The removal of the scaffolding incident - This is fine. It's arguably a minor incident that violates WP:NOTNEWS.
  • "This led Advance Publications, parent company of Conde Nast, to start withholding rent payments in January 2021. By March 2021, Condé Nast had filed plans to reduce the amount of office space that it leased. After a prolonged impasse, Condé Nast agreed in late 2021 to pay almost $10 million in back rent." " This led Advance Publications, parent company of Conde Nast, to start withholding rent payments and filing plans to reduce the amount of space that it leased" - I disagree with both the removal of the second source from each claim, and, to a lesser extent, the combination of these sentences.
    • For the second source, the extra sources can be combined using a WP:CITEBUNDLE.
    • As for the combination of the sentences, this eliminated some detail about what exactly happened, including the fact that the actual rent dispute was resolved. I'd say at a minimum that we should mention that these happened in early 2021
  • "The PANYNJ has approved all the revisions." "The PANYNJ approved all the revisions." - In isolation, this is inconsistent with the use of the present perfect in the preceding sentences. But I don't think the present perfect should be used anyway, so I've retained this change and also changed the rest of the paragraph.

Yes I was removing trivia (the incident is mentioned at the end anyway). Thanks for the improvements re: the back rent, it looks good now. Cheers,  SJ + 19:52, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
