Suspicous editors and reads like an autobiographical resume in places

[edit]

This biography reads like a resume and has contributions from editors who appear to have a close connection to the subject, for example look at https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Timothy_Leighton

Many of the top edits to this page are IP edits which are suspicious because they've only edited one article, the biography of Timothy Leighton, or articles closely related to it. For example:

In my humble opinion, there is a high probability that these edits could all be the same person (or persons) acting as a sock puppet editing pseudo-anonymously, with a questionable Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (NPOV) Duncan.Hull (talk) 06:14, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article did read like a resume and I've fixed that. I've no doubt the article can be improved further, but I no longer see a need for the banner. I see no justification here for accusations of sock puppetry. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 14:26, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
