As a note to editors, an undisclosed COI editor -- User:Peeveeburen (presumably also User:Vanburenpm), who appears to be Peter Van Buren, the subject of the article, has made substantial edits to this article, many of which are poorly sourced, violate WP:NPOV, as well as other pillars such as WP:V and WP:RS. I've taken a pass at removing the most egregious of what appears to be advertising copy, as well as rewritten some portions to be more encyclopedic in tone (e.g. removing U.S. ethnocentrism, using third person voice, noting where unsourced statements of fact are in reality allegations, etc.). It still needs a significant amount of work, but it's somewhat better now. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:10, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
