[edit] COI tag

The purpose of the "conflict of interest" tag is to warn others that the article has not been edited/reviewed by a neutral party and thus may not be neutral. Since the AfD, this article has been reviewed/edited by three editors and nearly every statement is sourced ... the "COI" tag is no longer useful as it states nothing about the current state of the article, but rather references its initial history. If there are concerns that the article is not neutral, please tag it with {{POV}} and note which parts fail Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 17:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, according to {{COI}} and {{COI2}}, the purpose is simply to warn others that "The creator of or main contributor to this page may have a conflict of interest with the subject of this article." That certainly appears to be true, per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest — there hasn't been any new material added to the article, just references and wordsmithing. And while it doesn't bear on their reliabilty or validity, all the citations come from a single user that appears to have been created an hour and a half after the AfD nomination and who seems to be named after a famous film director. But perhaps a {{Notable Wikipedian}} tag is more appropriate than one of the COIs. RossPatterson 22:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Huh. I hadn't even checked the history for User:Demille ... I only saw that the sources checked out and did not investigate further. I think {{Notable Wikipedian}} is an appropriate tag here (I'd seen it before, but had never really paid it much attention). My desire to see the {{coi}} tags removed was because they are mostly targeted toward editors, prompting them to verify the content of an article, rather than readers. In this case, the content is almost entirely verified. So, even though the article's full content was most likely added by the subject himself, editorial action to verify the content is no longer required. I suppose this is one of those rare cases where a person writing an article about himself actually writes a good one. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 00:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
No sweat. I see your point about the COI target. RossPatterson 01:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
