COI
editHello 1292simon. Can you say some more about your COI tag for this article? The primary author/editor of the page is not connected to the topic, and the language all seems pretty neutral to me. Thanks. ExtandTor (talk) 21:47, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi ExtandTor. It looks like I got the articles mixed up and put the wrong tag on this article sorry. It should have been a POV tag, not COI. This has now been fixed, and I am sorry for the trouble. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 09:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

- Sure, I'm happy to provide some more detail. The language is in places subjective and reads like a promotion rather than an encyclopedia article. Examples are using the word "highlighted" instead of "identified", and phrases such as "While many of the mathematicians featured by MGB are university professors, a diverse variety of professional positions is represented".

- I guess I get the point about highlighted vs identified, but can you elaborate on the other phrase? I'm not trying to be difficult. I really don't see how that phrase is non-neutral. it seems very factual and objective. So I don't know how to fix it and I don't know how to use it to see other examples in the article.
