I recently published a Wikipedia article on Snapchat dysmorphia and noticed this concept was mentioned within this article under the "Psychological Disorders" section, so I have linked the new article! I would appreciate any feedback on the Snapchat dysmorphia article. Please reach out if you have any questions/concerns. Thank you! - Jinnyjin123 (talk) 04:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nascency of maxillofacial surgery - Problem

The final paragraphs of the section could use some rewriting, as they excessively detail trivial intricacies and lack clarity, with one sentence, seemingly an unmarked citation, even describing the participation of a certain "we" without providing any context or explanation.

Ads for brands present in text

Ads for specific brands can be found in the text. Here is the relevant paragraph:

"Methods such as double eyelid tape, eyelid glue, and structured eyelid training systems allow individuals to temporarily or semi-permanently create a double eyelid crease without surgery. Some of these products, such as D-UP Eyelid Tape, AB Mezical, and Optifold, use mechanical reinforcement to encourage crease retention over time." ~2025-37951-35 (talk) 01:33, 3 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Fixed with Special:Diff/1325450849. Next time, WP:BEBOLD and fix it. Zefr (talk) 04:22, 3 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
