Conflict of Interest
Hello John, I would suggest you read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks
Hello, I'm not John. But I have noticed your sudden wealth of objections to this article, which was created by several authors (which I am one) over several years, and has never received a complaint before to my knowledge. Today, out of the blue, you demand 20-30 extra citations, with the threat of it's removal. I'll be honest, this would suggest something personal on your part.
Or, can you explain why you chose to make so many alterations to an article this suddenly, when your user history suggests it's not something you've done before? It seems more hostile than informative.
To state again, the article is was put together by several, neutral authors, and I think it has a good degree of journalistic neutrality when rereading it. Others can disagree, but trying to have it removed in spite is not in the spirit of Wikipedia. If there's something you think should be in it, and have sources or soemething, then have at it!
But regarding your flagging it for removal this way, it does not have COI issues to any great degree. It does not promote a company or organization, direct to other websites, and relies on information available to the public in news articles on websites all over the place, and which a student or journalist would find useful in one article. There were articles I used, in hindsight, that weren't on the internet to link to, but it doesn't seem anything controversial enough to see removal over.
it would appear, that while citations and COI concerns are important, the sudden burst of activity from you is a bit mean spirited. If you have sourced objections to add or someting, then I think that's what Wikipedia is about, have at it.
Thanks to you.
