Economic viewpoints section

edit

I flagged this section with "Editorial" and "Tone" flags because some of the statements read more like opinion or out of a press release, rather than facts that can be backed up by an independent source. Please remove the flags when the problem lines are written in a more encyclopedic style or dropped. The first four paragraphs in the section as I post this are of particular concern in the way the tone of writing seems very friendly toward the subject rather than being neutral. 5Q5 (talk) 15:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

I did some clean up in this section, such as changing present tense of verbs to past tense and separating long sentences, and replaced the flags with one requesting more sources. 5Q5 (talk) 15:23, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
  Done. I removed my section flag. 5Q5 (talk) 16:00, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Top of article flags - when to remove

edit

I wasn't the editor who flagged the article with a deletion nomination and close connection notice in early October, but I believe once the article has had repairs made to it and a variety of other editors have worked on it, all the flags can be removed. Economics isn't my field of expertise and in fact I had never heard of the subject of this article and just happened to be passing through when I discovered the deletion nomination in place and decided to vote to keep, as did others, including an administrator. Any editor who has a close connection to the subject of a Wikipedia article should review WP:NOPR for helpful advice on how to get editing changes made on Wikipedia. A point of note: editors who only come to Wikipedia to edit a single article raise a red flag, though as an administrator noted in the deletion discussion, that alone is not sufficient evidence of a close connection to delete an article, but in this instance it appears that a frequent editor chose a username containing a name that can be linked to the article subject, probably thinking that would help ensure that the information added was reliable, but unaware of Wikipedia's current policies on the subject. See Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. After posting this talk page comment, I will likely not return here for further work on the article, as I've done all I can and as previously stated, I am not familiar enough with the topic. Good luck. 5Q5 (talk) 15:23, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done. I removed the flags because the article has since undergone improvement and conforms now to other biographical articles, many of which have much less notability than this subject. 5Q5 (talk) 15:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
