I saw a (very) recent post on Wikimedia's blog talking about a recent incident where The North Face replaced photos from contributors with their own, without consulting them or Wikimedia. Since their goal was very clearly commercial, would this count to be included in this article? -- TheSola10 ( The Mailbox) 20:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

"Interestingly, NBC doesn’t dispute one of Farrow’s scoops, a minor one but telling nonetheless. In the wake of the Weinstein imbroglio, he writes, the network hired a “Wikipedia whitewasher” to scrub references to the episode from some of its pages, a curious decision for a news organization dedicated to transparency. To this day, there’s no reference to the Weinstein affair under Oppenheim’s Wikipedia entry, and only a fleeting one in Lack’s."

We're "tracking", if you will, something called "WikProject Cooperation", but it is defunct. It seems to have been replaced by Wikipedia:WikiProject Integrity, but this article no longer has any information about or even mention of it. It presumably did earlier, because in the above-mentioned RfD about the cross-namespace WikiProject Integrity redirect, the nominator linked explicitly to Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia#WikiProject Cooperation and WikiProject Integrity, a heading that has since been renamed (without an anchor for the original name) to #WikiProject Cooperation. I would think that the material should be restored or new material written, so that those with an interest in the CoI stuff know it exists and has taken over (doing whatever it is doing) where WikiProject Cooperation left off. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:57, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
