Edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Peter Blauner. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Virtually everything in this article now has at least one source citation. Several facts have two sources. Anything remotely resembling promotional material has been taken out. Yet there are still two paragraphs at the top claiming the article sounds like a "news release" and needs additional verification. Since all issues have been addressed, citations have been added with ISBN numbers for books, and even factual material with citations has been removed, it's hard to understand what the problem is. Why does these derogatory paragraphs remain? And what can be done to remove them?

The templates at the top of the article are not derogatory, but are intended to direct editors to areas of concern. While the tone has been greatly improved, issues remain. For instance, descriptions of books are sourced to the publisher's websites, which are not objective sources--unless the books are individually notable--and several clearly are, given their coverage by reliable sources--then each one probably doesn't merit a separate passage. Likewise, the subject's website may be used as a source, but with great care, as it's generally not considered objective, either. IMDb is not a reliable source, since it is open to editing by users. Admission of WP:COI is greatly appreciated--this is an interesting bio, and will be further refined. Cheers, 32.216.147.44 (talk) 11:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
