Finally, I would like to propose removing the "Multiple Issues" tag from this article. The article seems to have since been updated to reflect a more neutral viewpoint. If you disagree, please point out any examples of biased/subjective language and I will edit them for neutrality and propose additional changes.

Partially done. Some of your suggested sources are not good or reliable and read like flattering press releases despite their URLs seeming like neutral sites. I did the uncontroversial, such as chronological ordering of 1999 events and removed the unclear sentence fragment about the degrees of the editors. JesseRafe (talk) 16:18, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Request edit

Thanks, JesseRafe. I'd like to reiterate a few requests for anyone else who would be willing to take a look at my sources and evaluate them. I will add a "request edit" tag if I don't receive a response in the next few days.

  Edit request partially implemented  

1. Y The section containing outdated info was omitted (the material in question was not referenced). The claim regarding the automated functions of the software is already in the article.
2. N The claim that the software decreases the time to publication through automation is a given, for such is the purpose of automated software.

Remove templates?

I came across this through the newcomer tasks, and it seems as if the templates no longer apply. They were added 12 years ago, and very little of what the article was at that time remains.

I'm adding this topic to see what the consensus on this is.
