I am submitting proposals for updates for review independent editors, as per paid WP:PAID. I have a conflict of interest as a paid consultant for WhiteHatWiki, which was hired by Dan Wagner, the subject of this article.
1. In February 2024, the first sentence in the Career section, subsection “Powa Technologies" was removed by @Leftguide: for lacking a source. Please reinstate this, with sourcing, as the first sentence of the subsection:
In 2007, Wagner founded Powa Technologies, a company that sold e-commerce services and mobile technology.[2]
RATIONALE: High-quality source. Information widely reported. Many other sources could be added. Basic factual background about high-profile even in his career.
2. In the Career section, Rezolve subsection, last sentence, please replace the following:
This acquisition remains pending as of 2024.[3]
WITH:
As of 2023, the acquisition remained incomplete.[4]
RATIONALE: The source for the last sentence of the Rezolve section is Primary. This statement requires too much possible interpretation to rely solely on Primary. I switched it with an article from the Telegraph in compliance with WP:RELIABLE policy. The sentence was updated to reflect the information provided by the source.
3. Please remove the paid contributor flag added in August 2023. The template says that content on the page may need cleanup because there have been paid contributions. Yet almost every sentence of this page has been scrutinized on the Talk page since 2014. Many editors have weighed in. I count at least 17 Talk page posts since 2014. The page is also heavily monitored and changes without consensus have been reversed. E.g. [1] and [2] This flag is meant for pages where content from a paid editor has not been reviewed. Flags are not intended to be punitive if there are no issues with the page. My disclosure of a COI on Talk coincided with the flag being placed, even though I have never directly edited anything on the page, as per WP:PAID.
According to Template:Paid_contributions:
Like the other neutrality-related tags, if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain why you tagged the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning.
It has been almost a year and no discussion has been started.
Thank you.W12SW77 (talk) 16:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
