@Bkissin: Thank you for taking this draft live. I see there is a banner that says, "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page." I have disclosed my conflict of interest here on the article's talk page, as required by the site's Terms of Use, and I've worked to draft neutral text. Can you identify any non-neutral or otherwise problematic text needing to be addressed? If not, would you please consider removing the banner? Thanks again for your help.

Hello. Even though you disclosed your COI and used neutral language and otherwise non-problematic text that needs no revision, it is still true that "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject". The banner simply highlights that fact. The banner does not mean that there is anything wrong with the article. It is just a flag for the reader. I don't see any need to remove the banner.Constant314 (talk) 17:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
