Category:Wikipedia articles containing buzzwords

Update this page

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.

This category contains Wikipedia articles thought to contain an excessive number of buzzwords, and need to be edited for clarity, concreteness, and informative content. Articles are placed in this category automatically by template {{Buzzword}}.

Buzzwords, especially in articles on business, marketing, or popular psychology subjects, raise a number of stylistic problems. Buzzword-laden prose is also frequently marked by heavy use of tautologies: in this context, essentially the restatement of obvious, trite, or uninformative statements, often in highly abstract language, in a way that conceals the obviousness and lack of new information in what is being said.

You are invited to edit these articles in a way to improve their wording, make them more concrete, and remove tautologies and other obvious statements from them.
