A fact from Farmdrop appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 January 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that farmers and fishermen receive a higher percentage of the retail price using Farmdrop because no middlemen are involved in the supply chain?
I don't think it's appropriate for me to give an assessment of the article with my admin hat on, or in my role as the closing admin. As a purely rank and file editor with no special knowledge of the subject, the current revision doesn't seem to have any obvious bias or promotionalism issues.

To my opinion, this article still has a promotional tone. i can imagine that the author does not agree with that, but after two AfDs for promotion/advertising, he should have gotten the message that something is not okay in this article. The Bannertalk12:29, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No consensus for adding the advert template exists on this talk page. Note how two users above disagree with this notion. I have performed some improvements to the article, and I still view the content as having a neutral, non-promotional tone. North America100022:42, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The remark qabove is about the version that was there on the 31th of July 2017, this is about the recent version. And I do not think that you, as main writer, are the most suitable editor to judge about advertising. So I will restore the advert-template. The Bannertalk23:01, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that users have differing opinions about what constitutes advertising on Wikipedia. I have deleted many articles that did constitute blatant advertising. However, below is a list to consider. This article does not:
Use promotional language, wording or phrasing
Use peacock language or phrasing
Extol any "greatness" about the company
Encourage or persuade readers to do business with the company
Well, which it? When you restored the template, you said, "The remark [above] is about the version that was there on the 31th of July 2017, this is about the recent version." Now you are saying this has something to do with the two previous AfDs, which pre-dated the 31 July 2017 version. Unscintillating (talk) 15:38, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I see the error I made, but that only explains one of the two AfDs I was asking about. I'm still seeing claims that this is a new problem that post-dated 31 July 2017, and that this is an old problem to be understood by the first AfD that took place prior to 31 July 2017.

It's not hit the headlines yet, but the company has just fallen into administration today. It came after they'd been seeking bids to buy the company, and over the last week all of the bids fell through. Today is the last day of trading. El Pollo Diablo (Talk) 21:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
