→Any policy against Product Placement?: new section |

Line 5:
Wikipaedia articles suffer from a lot of non-notable people's names inserted into articles as academic references: could we please have a policy against product placement, such as showing Starbucks in an unrelated article (especially one which appears on the front page?

:Non-notable people's names inserted into articles? They're simply the authors of the publications which have been used as references. Also, I don't see a particular problem with using Starbucks in an example. I'm simply using the same example as the one given in the scientific publication and besides that, it is a well-known coffee shop. If I have an example about someone who "wants to buy fast food", should I avoid mentioning [[McDonald's]]? It just gives the article some flavor rather than "to visit a fast food restaurant". Suggesting another policy for this type of trivialities is what drives people away from Wikipedia. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 00:27, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
