COI concerns[edit]

Please note that the subject links to and promotes the Wikipedia page on his "meet the broker" page of his business website (twice!) As such, edits that seem to limit or spin the content may be viewed as likely conflicts of interest. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:13, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In that regard, I have just reverted a series of "election results" tables added by one of the apparent COI editors detailing the subject's electoral victories between 1988 and 1996. In addition to being incomplete and cherry-picked (earlier and later losses, at least one crushing, were omitted), the information is decades old and adds little useful information. We already know he was a representative from 1989-99 - obviously he won those elections. JohnInDC (talk) 10:37, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The COI editor has re-inserted the text, for the third time. It takes two to edit war so I will bow out of further immediate changes. Comments welcome! JohnInDC (talk) 19:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken care of two similar edits today. EricEnfermero (Talk) 01:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI concerns cleared?[edit]

While the recent editing comment claim that there has been no editing to this page is both false and irrelevant to the question of whether the page has problems from COI contributions, it probably is time to consider removing the tag. It looks to me like we've done away with the major promo problems that this page had - the addressing of which is the point of having a COI tag. Does anyone see any current problem which would call for the tag? --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No. My main concern in reverting was the COI editor removing the COI tag himself. I would support the same edit coming from a neutral editor. JohnInDC (talk) 02:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
