=COI editing

If you going to do COI editing, we expect not to have to use our time as volunteers teaching you to do it. I've given you enough help above, that you should be able to figure out the rest. ( If you've written PR, please note that our style is essentially the exact opposite--anything that looks like it would do for a web page will not work as a Wikipedia article. It an be difficult to change styles to this degree, and not everyone is able to do it--but it can be done.

I'm going to look at the Rinaldo Brutoco article. You need to add a note about COI to its talk page,. DGG ( talk ) 23:13, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Problems

I found some problems, and fixed a few, such as excessive use of the subject's name, wordiness, and name-dropping. There are a number remaining, which I can best correct with your assistance-- we need a listing of the subject's published books, in full bibliographic format, showing whether he is author, co-author or editor, publisher, date, and ISBN number. ; We need dates for all items that don't have them, and the section on the subject's career needs to be arranged in chronological order. To the extent that authorship is a large part of his notability , we need references to substantial reviews in third-party published independent reliable sources, not press releases, blurbs, blogs, Amazon, or Goodreads.

Please fix these in a day or two; otherwise I will choose between doing the work myself, or returning the article to draft.

After this and the other article, I expect that you will have learned enough about our style need this assistance. I remind you that declaring a coi does not remove the requirement to write an non- promotional article, and I also remind you of the special requirements for documentation in articles on living people--see WP:BLP, DGG ( talk ) 03:47, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
