Nancy Jacobson article
[edit]Hi Jason775. I'm writing about your recent, as well as former, edits to the Nancy Jacobson article. The article has been tagged as including promotional content (or sounding like it is written like an advertisement) for over two years. It needs quite a bit of work to remediate that aspect of the article. The edit you made on January 26, 2021 made the article somewhat more promotional, so it took the article in the opposite of the desired direction. The citation you added to the podcast featuring Nancy Jacobson is not an acceptable citation. There are a couple of reasons for this. One reason is that to figure out whether what you represent the podcast as saying is actually accurate would take a lot of work on the part of other editors who are wondering whether it is accurate. But the much more important reason it is a bad reference is because it is Nancy Jacobson representing herself. It is self-publishing. Wikipedia doesn't regard sources like that as reliable. What Wikipedia would want to see are outside sources (not by the person the article is about) that explain/comment/represent some aspect of that person or organization. This ensures independence from the person the article is about. It gets away from puffery. It establishes that outside independent reliable journalists or commentators think that some aspect of that person is notable enough for them to write about. This is not the case here. Looking at your user account, so far you appear to be an SPA, with your only editing interest being this particular article. I hope what I have written here gives you enough guidance to go back into the article and remediate these problems. Novellasyes (talk) 20:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
