COI

[edit]

So, no-one thinks it's a blatant COI when Lwebernpro repeatedly edits his own article, especially to insert sales links?  Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.136.60 (talk) 00:52, 24 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Large-scale removals of content

[edit]

It's general preference on Wikipedia to, instead of removing unsourced claims, to find sources or at least slap on a "citation needed" tag; however, given the egregious COI in the creation and continued editing of this article and heavy PR spin, I have felt it more appropriate to simply remove all the PR-sounding fluff and leave only the sourced information. For a specific reason I've leant towards removal is that Weber leans on his "early internet pioneer" shtick to flaunt himself and others, and engages in outright lying (see this blog post).

The current second reference, the Forbes Council link that 404s and has no archive, is of dubious use (and as such is the text reliant on it), since I get the impression it's one of those self-written "about me" pages rather than an independently written piece, though I don't know how to approach that.  Preceding unsigned comment added by RDXL (talkcontribs) 12:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
