I fail to see where there is a lack of objectivity. The article is entirely factual, as can easily be verified by any of the following means:

1/ loot at the website 2/ read the supplied user guide. 3/ look at either the github or sourceforge entries 4/ look at the user email list

Most of these multiply cross reference.

I agree with Abrolag's argument. I have checked the article and, as a longstanding Yoshimi users, all information seems factual and verifiable.

It is very common for smaller Free Software project with a relatively small contributor and user-base that people somehow involved in the project have best (factual) knowledge.

Furthermore this article is about (Free) Software and the information provided is technical / factual, so it's not clear where there is lack of neutrality when comparing to the the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view article.

The box also links to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest insinuating that the main contributor might have a potential conflict of interest. This seems unfair in this case, without factual evidence, because whilst they are a major contributor to the project, as said above Yoshimi is Free Software meaning that any contributor (major or minor):

a) is an individual and not a company/organization who does not have any financial gain from the project nor factually describing the software on Wikipedia

b) works on the project in their free time as a volunteer (just like many Wikipedans who are volunteers)

c) has cited many factual sources to support what is written in the article

It would be helpful if the proponent of the COI and CN warnings went in a little more detail as to which specific improvements / edits would, from their point of view, improve the situation in such regards.

Finally, given the very 'small' nature of the Yoshimi Software project, I'd warn about the fact that in this case adding a COI as it is shown on the page - possibly in good faith - overlooked the 'Avoid Outing' principle described in the main COI article[[1]] Lorenzosu (talk) 08:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
