I spent some time to clean up the page, removing promotional lines added by an editor with Conflict of Interest as seen in the edit history. I also added a few sources and made the page look as neutral as possible. More help may be required. Thanks Maltuguom (talk) 19:26, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
GSS, I'm confused. I think Maltuguom was saying that they *removed* material added by an editor with a COI, not that they themselves have a conflict of interest. Is that how you understood it as well, or am I out on a limb? Ganesha811 (talk) 14:18, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Ganesha811: no as per off-wiki evidence this user is evading their block and is in a violation of undisclosed paid editing so they need to disclose and their edits must not be restored. GSS💬 14:23, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
GSS, what "off-wiki evidence"? Could you link it? I'm fine with not removing the COI template at the top of the page, but the version of the page you are restoring is *more* promotional than the version created by Maltuguom. Are you saying that they are a sockpuppet? If so, of who? Ganesha811 (talk) 14:26, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I can't drop those details here per WP:OUTING, but I have shared the details with paid-en queue and a few admins so please don't restore their edits, doing so will encourage them to continue violating our policies and yes, they are a sock/meat of Boskit190 (talk·contribs).

GSS, right, well, fair enough, and thanks for your anti-vandalism work. I'm going to go ahead and edit the article to remove promotional material and material that is not referenced to independent sources. I don't think improvements to the page in general could encourage further violations of policy. Ganesha811 (talk) 14:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Ganesha811: You may remove unsourced contents and unreliable sources but please don't restore their contents and don't remove the maintenance tags since they were contracted for the same and the job is still under process so your edits will benefit them. Thank you for understanding. GSS💬 14:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Looks like this article is a little bit "hot", so I just wanted to check in and ensure my recent edits are all OK with everyone. I have tried to follow standard WP guidelines of NPOV, verifiability, notability, etc. All were edits were done in good faith and were unpaid. Also, just for the record: I am not a sockpuppet, nor do I have or use any.
