Promotional, potential COI

edit

I'm adding maintenance tags because the current article reads like a resume and editing patterns suggest that the article has been edited by a conflict of interest (COI) editor - and overall, the article no longer seems neutral. Just a reminder to editors: Wikipedia is not a resume, and if you have a COI with the topic (meaning you have a personal or professional connection to Suslick), you should read WP:COI.

As for problems with the article - There should not be outgoing links in the body of the article (per WP:EL). Citations should mostly be independent of the topic and usually shouldn't be published or written by someone who has a personal connection to Suslick. Secondary, independent sources are an encyclopedia's best friend. And there definitely shouldn't be citations to his literal resume/CV. Promotional-sounding phrases such as "world's leading expert" should usually be avoided. If they are true, they are exceptional claims and need to follow WP:EXCEPTIONAL, meaning they need to have multiple high quality sources backing it up.

Those are just a few things I noticed at first glance. Once these issues are addressed, and the article is re-written with an eye towards neutrality, the maintenance tags can probably come down. - Whisperjanes (talk) 19:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
