There is no bias in my revision to Paul Simon's Graceland.[edit]
There was only word in my revision from which bias may be extrapolated: "exploited". But that's a stretch. Let's take a look at a dictionary definition of that term: verb (used with object) 1. to utilize, especially for profit; turn to practical account: to exploit a business opportunity. 2. to use selfishly for one's own ends: employers who exploit their workers.
Both definitions apply in this context, as Paul Simon leveraged his wealth and celebrity in order to solicit source material from impoverished South African musicians, without crediting them as authors. This is explicitly exploitative.
Would you remove the word "slavery" from the Wiki article on US history?
Advanced Design System[edit]
Hi,
I agree with your point. But at the same time, I believe that saying "and a large percentage[citation needed] of new graduates are experienced in its use[citation needed]. As a result, the system has found wide acceptance[citation needed] in industry." without any reliable source seems more like a veiled advertisement of the product than an usful information.
Therefore, following the same neutrality principle, I believe this part should be at least removed.

- Hey there, I agree! Those unsourced statements, while perhaps not expressing a particular POV, should probably just removed entirely. Deletion (or, even more preferable, finding sources), not adding bias, was the more correct action! -- MacAddct1984 (talk | contribs) 23:32, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

So I can refer this to Wikispecies, which region was this take in? North Eastern US? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:26, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yup, this was taken on Long Island, New York -- MacAddct1984 (talk | contribs) 22:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- Okay I asked at the reference desk, and updated the information box accordingly. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
