Updates for Roy Bahat page
editHi. My name is Angela and I work for Roy Bahat. A couple in-depth profiles have been written on Roy recently in Business Insider and Fast Company that offer more information about what he's famous for (early AI investments and speaking on organized workforces). I'd like to share a proposed draft here that adds a few sentences from these new sources (proposed additions are in bold) to add to the end of the Career section. Pinging @Cabrils:, who accepted the page at Articles for Creation back in May. Angela.Martin2023 (talk) 19:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Angela.Martin2023, thanks for the ping.
- Firstly, given your relationship with Bahat, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (see the instructions on how to do this by clicking on that link). I see now that you created the page and submitted it without declaring your conflict of interest, which is of concern.
- Regarding your draft additions, I think they may be OK, however I am concerned at an overall promotional feeling to the page. It tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not.
- My suggestions would be:
- 1. Declare your COI.
- 2. Review the page in light of my comments and amend it accordingly. At that point consider adding reference to the 2 new articles but I think a trimmed down version of your draft is more likely to survive review.
- 3. Please feel free to ping me and I would be happy to have another look.
- I trust this is of help. Cabrils (talk) 00:26, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils. I disclosed my conflict of interest:
- On my User page the day I created my account
- On the article Talk page the day I created the Articles for Creation submission
- At the top of the AFC submission in a comment
- Can you elaborate what you mean by saying I have not disclosed? Is there another location where I need to also disclose at? Angela.Martin2023 (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
