I'm trying to get the following page reviewed by an editor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Petrocelli
The page has been referred to COI, and though I've edited it with great scrutiny, the referral remains. Thank you for your review / advice/
- Welcome to Wikipedia. The COI tag was most recently restored with this edit by user Bilby (talk). You should ask them what their concerns are and what would be necessary to remove the tag.
- Read WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle for a general guide to how content questions should be handled. Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:

- Hi Japancolurs! The problem is that you appear to have been paid to edit the article. Under the Terms of Use for Wikipedia, this is fine, as we allow paid editing - however, we ask that people who are being paid to edit on behalf of a client disclose this on their user page, the talk page of the article, or in your edit summaries. However, as you appear to have a conflict of interest, the article needs to be independently checked to make sure that it meet's Wikipedia's requirements. Thus the tag is to indicate to other editors that it needs someone independent of the subject to have a read and see that it is ok. - Bilby (talk) 21:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Bilby! Thank you for your clarification. I'm new to Wikipedia, though I do have an academic background. Paolo Petrocelli is someone I'm collaborating with in an unrelated project, and I thought to clean this article as I do believe his cultural contributions are worthy of a Wiki article. Your proposition for the article to be independently checked sounds right to me, the issue is that the COI notice has been there since August 2015, and nobody has checked it since! Can you please advice on how we may get the article reviewed by other editors now that I've tried to abide it to Wikipedia's requirements? - Japancolours
