I have a peer review open for the [[File:Symbol watching blue lashes high contrast.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Stage works of Paul Goodman/archive1|Stage works of Paul Goodman]], an interesting overview of his oeuvre.

I have identified a troubling series of article edits that bear questionable importance/relevance that are being added to many of the articles associated with popular theatrical productions. My concerns are not limited to anyone in particular, but certainly began with the user [[User:Greg Cesear|Greg_Cesear]], who seems to have been prolific in their efforts to paper Wikipedia articles with edits related to their own personal endeavors and accomplishments<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Greg_Cesear?useskin=vector</ref>, frequently with little or no discernible concern for historical significance to the articles featured topics, and that are clearly compromised by conflicts of interest. |
|||
== Third opinion needed == |
|||
I have raised my concerns on the user's own [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Greg_Cesear?useskin=vector#Concern_over_many_of_this_user's_contributions. Talk] page, and have since been struggling with the idea of unilaterally removing their most questionable edits. I do not want to be seen as gatekeeping, and believe that anything that complies with Wikipedia's policies and furthers its mission should be included, regardless of how large, popular, or well-heeled the subject of a contribution might be. It's this same concern with the overarching goals of Wikipedia that also drives my concern for it being manipulated and misused as a vehicle for any one person's personal glory or reputation. |

I would appreciate it if any one could respond to a dispute at [[Talk:Patriots (play)#Production poster dispute]] about which production poster should be used in the article. Thank you, [[User:Aspects|Aspects]] ([[User talk:Aspects|talk]]) 17:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC) |

Ideally, I would like to review edits such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1192444927&oldid=1191936875&title=Pack_of_Lies&useskin=vector this one] with the guidance and input of others within the Theatre WikiProject before I take any unilateral corrective actions, to ensure my perspective is not in some way skewed or misaligned, and that I am not missing something. If there is no discussion on this in the coming days, I will simply follow my instincts, and allow for the usual remediation facilities to mitigate any potential missteps. In either case, my thanks to anyone whose taken the time to read this. ~ [[User:SilverXnoise|SilverXnoise]] ([[User talk:SilverXnoise|talk]]) 22:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC) |

This is a rather interesting history on the 19th century theatre [http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/Philharmonic.htm The Philharmonic Hall, 40 Islington High Street, London]. I notice that we lack an article on this theatre. Apparently there were multiple theaters rebuilt at this location after the various theaters were destroyed in separate fires. This would make a good article or perhaps articles (one for each theatre).[[User:4meter4|4meter4]] ([[User talk:4meter4|talk]]) 16:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC) |

Self-promotion & Wikipedia Abuse Among Theatrical Articles
I have identified a troubling series of article edits that bear questionable importance/relevance that are being added to many of the articles associated with popular theatrical productions. My concerns are not limited to anyone in particular, but certainly began with the user Greg_Cesear, who seems to have been prolific in their efforts to paper Wikipedia articles with edits related to their own personal endeavors and accomplishments[1], frequently with little or no discernible concern for historical significance to the articles featured topics, and that are clearly compromised by conflicts of interest.
I have raised my concerns on the user's own Talk page, and have since been struggling with the idea of unilaterally removing their most questionable edits. I do not want to be seen as gatekeeping, and believe that anything that complies with Wikipedia's policies and furthers its mission should be included, regardless of how large, popular, or well-heeled the subject of a contribution might be. It's this same concern with the overarching goals of Wikipedia that also drives my concern for it being manipulated and misused as a vehicle for any one person's personal glory or reputation.
Ideally, I would like to review edits such as this one with the guidance and input of others within the Theatre WikiProject before I take any unilateral corrective actions, to ensure my perspective is not in some way skewed or misaligned, and that I am not missing something. If there is no discussion on this in the coming days, I will simply follow my instincts, and allow for the usual remediation facilities to mitigate any potential missteps. In either case, my thanks to anyone whose taken the time to read this. ~ SilverXnoise (talk) 22:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
