| Should an article about a multinational business include references to "occupied territories", "cultural appropriation", genocide, apartheid and political boycotts when the references are based only on the possible location of one of several manufacturing plants and the name of the shell company that owns the operating company that runs the business? There is no suggestion that any executives or employees are engaged in these things.
This began with a request from a COI editor to remove non-WP:RS sources and asking for an addition to the "cultural appropriation" discussion. After three months of discussion, I posted that I would remove the content rather than changing the sources. There was no response. Talk:Moroccanoil#Request edit, October 2025 Eight hours after I made the change, it was reverted by an editor who had not participated in the earlier discussion. I added another section to the talk page, Talk:Moroccanoil#National allegiance of Moroccanoil. This produced a long and un-WP:CIVIL discussion. It revealed, among other things, that the editor's opinion is based on WP:OR from interpreting the legal disclaimers on the company's websites. The editor who made the reversion has been involved in this issue before, and engaged in edit wars. Addition of a tag in 2024 was reverted 19 minutes later. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moroccanoil&diff=next&oldid=1226760728 Elimination of the supposed national identity was altered in 1:24 and an edit war followed. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moroccanoil&diff=1226475555&oldid=1226463207 Julian in LA (talk) 03:58, 3 February 2026 (UTC) |
