Likely COI edits

edit

I tagged the article for conflict of interest, since editing patterns seem to point to a likely COI. Various IPs & SPAs are adding the same info, sometimes edit warring and adding it back without discussion on this talk page. The page was also written largely like a CV for a long time, containing a lot of WP:PUFFERY words and self-sourced/primary sourced info. All of these point to COI editing. Until editors who are either undisclosed paid editors or COI editors try to address these issues and edit warring stops, and until many of the primary & self-sourced info are verified by more independent sources, it is impossible to correct this issue I don't think the tag should be removed. - Whisperjanes (talk) 03:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

I struck part of the last sentence and changed it to be more clear (and more open-ended for discussion). - Whisperjanes (talk) 19:40, 16 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Adding back the COI tag until new accounts & SPAs start declaring their COIs. The article still reads a bit like a CV and the sources are still lacking (some citations were placed and don't even verify the information in the sentence). Conflict of interest editors should disclose their conflict - it would make the article easier to improve. - Whisperjanes (talk) 14:44, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
