- The above IP, as well as User:Pearbo (who is adding peacock language to this article) would appear to possibly be Mr. Perry Pirsch, Mr. Osborn's deputy and general counsel. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Shane Osborn. RJASE1 Talk 20:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have placed the following tags for the following reasons:
- Advertising due to the "peacock" language written by the P.R. "flak" employed by the subject of the article, as noted on the Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Shane_Osborn;
- Original research because it includes quotes from George W. Bush and others, without citing secondary sources, and in fact citing the subject's own recollections; and
- Point of view because it has an awfully slanted point of view, even worse than others I've and others have tagged.
My suggestions on how to improve this:
- Block the IP of the subject's office.
- Prevent "ownership" stake by the subject or his emplyees.
- Carefully monitor the article to keep on the tags until the article is improved.
- Edit out the laudatory language.
- Find reliable, secondary sources like newspaper articles and TV shows. Bearian 19:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
