This page was marked as "may require cleanup" due to paid editing while it was still in draft form at Articles for Creation. However, the page was cut in half since then per feedback from @CNMall41:. I'm wondering if editors still feel it requires cleanup or if the new version addresses that concern. Or if it does require cleanup, what the issues are, so they can be addressed.

The tags were placed after it was moved to the mainspace and no substantial edits have been made since that time. The issue begins with the PAID tag. Please review WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the appropriate disclosure if applicable. You can also reach out to the editor who placed the tag to discuss how they feel it applies. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi CNMall. The "may require cleanup" tag was on the draft Articles for Creation submission prior to my cutting the page in half in response to your feedback. The link you provided is for an edit that took place more recently, but doesn't appear to have anything to do with the tag. I've disclosed my connection Mr. Slootman here on Talk and on my user page. Please let me know if you feel there is another place I also need to disclose. Kiwikarma19 (talk) 17:42, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
@CNMall41: Is this what you're looking for? I added the template, a list of all pages where I have a COI (just this one), and a list of all of my contributions (all related to this page). Let me know if you need anything additional. Kiwikarma19 (talk) 18:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. That is a little more than required actually. Simply adding the pages where you have a PAID interest would have done it. I will take a look at the page and do any cleanup necessary. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:48, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I cannot find an official website for him so added LinkedIn. If he has one, it is preferred over LinkedIn but if not this one would be acceptable. Also linked him to the Snowflake Inc. page and connected the two in Wikidata.--CNMall41 (talk) 19:16, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @CNMall41:. Mr. Slootman doesn't have a website, but he does have an official bio on Snowflake's website if that works. Also, there's a headshot available for the infobox here, uploaded by the photographer with proper permissions this time. Kiwikarma19 (talk) 20:09, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
