WP:PEACOCK and WP:ADVERT concerns[edit]

Serious WP:Peacock and WP:Advert concerns, especially given that this article is viewed as a desirable template for other self-promotional articles https://www.elance.com/j/write-publish-wikipedia-page-about-me/45615037/. Needs to be seriously cleaned up, and ultimately may fail WP:notability, resulting in potential deletion. Plot Spoiler (talk) 19:49, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, while I completely understand your concerns about random Wiki bios, could you tell me which parts are the problematic ones here? Almost all the citations are from newspapers, and notability isn't an issue either. He has been quoted by numerous independent sources on Iraq-related cases, interviewed by CNN, co-authored books... His cases have been adapted as films. Surely, notability isn't an issue here? I ask only to help clean this up in a desirable way. Sudhir.srinivasan (talk) 05:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you tell me about your WP:conflict of interest first? Plot Spoiler (talk) 12:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My conflict of interest? As somebody who's contributed extensively to the article, I'm simply interested in removing the contentious parts, and to make this article reach Wikipedia standards. If some of the editing by 'waddingtonweb' is the conflict of interest you're referring to, would removal of his contributions restore some quality?
