Books[edit]

Her two books are described as having received positive reviews but the sources do not link to any positive reviews for either book. Two of them are not reviews - just extracts from her book published in women's magazines - and the remaining is a very mixed review for her second book in The Guardian. Will remove the claim unless anyone can provide a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:EF40:AA8:3D01:FD0:7E94:C59E:F067 (talk) 09:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Revamp[edit]

You seem to have spent a ridiculous amount of time on this one article besides touching a few other articles here and there to make it seem like this isn't a single-purpose account. I cannot help but wonder, are you a representative of Ms Strimpel? Do you work for, or with her, or know her? Is there a reason you have spent almost a decade of your life on Wikipedia editing her article alone? And come in just in the nick of time when she writes a hit piece to remove her early life section to avoid the 'Every. Fucking. Time.' meme playing true yet again? Are you a relative of hers? Or ARE you her? I couldn't picture a well adjusted normal person spending just shy of ten years haunting one single article on Wikipedia. That's insane. You started this in 2013 dude. I think it's time you fess up, or move on. 121.210.33.50 (talk) 22:43, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On further examination it appears you are removing very particular things. For example, you removed that she was Jewish, why? You removed this section [[1]] in particular? Why? You removed this solely because it's in the Jewish Chronicle, [[2]] Why? You are painstakingly curating this to the level a PR firm would. This is incredibly problematic and POV. You have been painstakingly curating this article near exclusively since 2013 with a strong focus on removing all her work within the Jewish community, what on earth is the deal there?

Could someone with a bit more time on their hands go through https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Rgonsalv&offset=&limit=500&target=Rgonsalv and find all the stealth edits this guy has made removing stuff please? 121.210.33.50 (talk) 23:03, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is weakly sourced and reads as a publicity article. E.g. the claim about attending a boarding school does not mention the name of the school, instead citing a similarly vague claim in an opinion piece in an article by the subject herself.

Yet again the theme of Wikipedia as a publicity vehicle, rather than an actual encyclopaedia, is played out.

Not worthy of an encyclopaedia[edit]

Obvious publicity. Nothing on early life, e.g. schooling in US. Nothing on parents, siblings, etc. Nothing on relationships - spouse(s), partner(s), children, etc. Just a list of publicity items.

Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not a publicity vehicle. 86.160.228.56 (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
