I am an otherwise-neutral paid editor working on behalf of the subject of the page, who would like to see this biography brought up to "good article" standards. I am not a close colleague of the subject. I would like to know what I can do to improve the profile. Thank you!Wilsonpam (talk) 10:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilsonpam: This does not require the assistance of an administrator. Please make the appropriate disclosure on your userpage as spelled out in WP:COI. BTW, it's unlikely that anyone will help you with such a broad question. You might try the WP:Teahouse on how to proceed with your job.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:56, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have researched the subject using all available online sources and tightened the writing to attempt to make it more neutral and encyclopedic. Please review it to ensure that it meets wiki standards, and if so, please remove the maintenance template. If issues remain, please note them so that I can attend to them. Thank you.--Wilsonpam (talk) 20:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wilsonpam. This is not a matter that requires administrator attention. You might care to read Wikipedia:Administrators, which delineates the extra technical abilities given to admins here; none of them are necessary here. You are welcome to use Template:Edit COI to request the removal of the tag, and a volunteer experienced with COI/paid editing will come along eventually. At a glance, some of the tone in §Academic Career is excessively promotional, and too much material is cited to Page's LinkedIn profile.

Removal of maintenance tag

  • Specific text to be added or removed: Please remove the maintenance template
  • Reason for the change: I have edited the page to try to meet standards of nonpromotional, well-sourced, and neutral. I am a paid editor hired through Upwork to clean up the page but did not previously know the page's subject.
  • References supporting change: See my edit history of the page and the page's credible references.

 Not done: The article still reads promotional, hence the tag. However, the tag can be removed when a willing editor rewrites and remove the promotional words. See WP:WTW also. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 20:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Safari Scribe. After reading the WP:WTW page, I rephrased in two places, removing "pioneering" and "as an authority." Do I need to call for a willing editor, or can you review it again? Thank you. Wilsonpam (talk) 21:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Specific text to be added or removed: any remaining text deemed promotional; I have rephrased in two places, removing "pioneering" and "as an authority."
  • Reason for the change: to remove maintenance tag — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilsonpam (talkcontribs)
This isn't a matter of tweaking a word here or there - this article is promotional throughout. This is unsurprising, because the whole thing is based on sources written by or affiliated with the article's subject. Truly independent sources need to be found _first_, and then the article needs to be rewritten based on what they say. - MrOllie (talk) 11:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
