Missing Info[edit]

Where did mum work? What did Dad do at LT? Any books, publications etc of note? Politics and lobbying? Mcsony (talk) 19:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable Info[edit]

I took a guess at the school of economics and I have no idea of what influences would tie to him. Mcsony (talk) 19:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COI[edit]

This edit in 2016 added unsourced favourable sounding material; it's likely to have been by someone closely connected to the subject. Fences&Windows 16:30, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Second sentence[edit]

The second sentence begins "He is clueless on the world economy.." This does not sound like a very encyclopedic style at all. Vorbee (talk) 19:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like a Resumé[edit]

Copy editing this, I feel like I'm helping this guy brush up his resumé. Is it really necessary to have each and every council he was a part of?LizzieMack (talk) 16:34, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like some of the resume-y fluff has been cleaned up. I'll take a crack at further clean up. Paisarepa (talk) 21:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still needs a lot of work, but some of the sections are cleaned up to be less of a resume and less overly detailed. Paisarepa (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New COI activity[edit]

typically of an SPA/COI, they remove the COI tag because 'they have fixed the issue'(!) - failing to realise they ARE the issue. This article has had long-standing COI issues from various SPAs over many years. The article is in places poorly referenced, overly detailed with the minutiae of the subject's career - far too much lavish CVing rather than concise, encyclopaedic content. Until there's a consensus from a quorum of truly independent editors (i.e. not the SPAs) on the talk page, I propose the tags remain. Rayman60 (talk) 16:05, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry!![edit]

Sorry editors!! Due to some system issues i made some blunders. But hopelly they are alright now or can be improve by other editor if not. Sorry!! (HinaBB (talk) 09:39, 20 September 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Embarrassing[edit]

I read this and cringed. Obviously his fan club has drafted this hagiography. Just not worthy to be a Wikipedia article. I’m surprised he was credited with predicting the coming of Christ. Terrible 49.224.195.241 (talk) 07:23, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
