• Verified that the hook is interesting and is sourced in the article. I suggest minor improvement to the article such as adding the infobox. Toadboy123 (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Rivera’s response to complaints

Rehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OnPoint_NYC&diff=prev&oldid=1208038992&title=OnPoint_NYC&diffonly=1

You may be right about the Time 100 thing, I don’t know what Wikipedia’s normal stance is on such lists. You have an axe to grind about harm reduction but so be it, Wikipedia is full of axe-grinders. The preceding sentence I strongly object to removing. The article devotes a lot of space to community complaints about OnPoint, and it makes sense to record the organization’s response to such complaints. Hopefully someone else is watching this page and can break the tie so to speak, I don’t expect to convince you of anything. Prezbo (talk) 09:39, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

You again restored it. I believe that it is undue. Given WP:ONUS, please explain why you believe your personal preference and what makes sense to you appears to take precedence over that of others when agreement can not be reached. I've noted your removal for things such as "remove fascist press" and such which seems entrenched in opinion based removal. At the present point, you re-inserted what you want featured while removing what you believe to be undue. ONUS would suggest resting on non-inclusion unless agreed upon by consensus, not feature what you want, exclude what you don't. media sources I added specifically included concerns about putting the burden of drug user services in black neighborhood, which you suppressed while your edits embellish the inputs of the executive director of the org.

Community complaints are worth mentioning but not worth devoting as much space as the article did. It's only fair to record the organization's response to such complaints, I would say the same if this is was an article about Exxon or Monsanto. Someone who refers (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supervised_injection_site&diff=prev&oldid=980399702) to supervised consumption sites as "druggie shoot up galleries" should find a different topic area to edit in.

You're bringing up one-off edit summary from something from over three years ago. Regardless of the article, voices of the article subject should not be prominently featured and the article contents should be primarily on secondary sources. So things that article subject say or repeated by advocacy/criticism groups that directly cite them should be avoided, but those opinions discussed by reliable media outlets should be considered. WP:PSTS and WP:DUE are the concepts applicable here. I'd also have to say that last time I tried to engage with you on contents, you have not participated constructively, such as refusing to address the topic on hand and removing comments abruptly. Graywalls (talk) 10:50, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

It's a pattern of editing, not a one-off edit summary. But returning to the article at hand: there's one sentence describing Rivera's views, cited to a secondary source. It's not undue. It could be that you and I are the only people looking at this article in any case, if not I'll wait for other opinions. Prezbo (talk) 10:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Until then, we can just OMIT everything we can't come to an agreement/compromise. WP:ONUS as a guidance by setting that due weight concerns defaults to omission if no agreement exists so editors are not trying to override one another. Graywalls (talk) 10:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

If you consider it important to OMIT this sentence then I can't stop you. Prezbo (talk) 11:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Services

Re https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OnPoint_NYC&diff=1208488332&oldid=1208063653&title=OnPoint_NYC&diffonly=1

To me describing the services that a nonprofit provides seems normal for an encyclopedia article and not “guide”-like. Prezbo (talk) 20:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
