COI issues

A look at the history shows a massive number of edits (in frequency and in terms of contribution to this overly detailed article) have come from SPAs, initially a registered user, then numerous IPs. Unashamedly promotional, overly detailed. I will fix it in due course. I remind anyone with any link to the subject to refrain from editing as per WP:COI.

@Rayman60 Yes, that's because I keep having more puzzles published. Is that a problem? --D

It's not a problem to have more puzzles published, that point is irrelevant as far as this issue goes. The problem is the onus is on independent editors to add content, not for someone to use it to promote themselves as per WP:NOTCV. Rayman60 (talk) 02:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rayman60 Citations have been added, tally of published puzzles has been consolidated. Article is no more self-promoting than other Wikipedia pages by leading constructors. David Steinberg is not the author of this page and has not edited it at any time; his manager is. Hope this addresses your concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.174.248.173 (talk) 02:22, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. The manager CLEARLY has a conflict on interest!! Rayman60 (talk) 20:26, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
