[Untitled][edit]

Regardless of whether OTRS permission has been received for the page, which is obviously copied from somewhere though I am not sure I have found a single source for it, it is not a satisfactory Wikipedia article.

A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--not praising the person, saying plainly and simply what they have accomplished. When one copies material from a web site, even one's own -- quite apart from copyright violation, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. (Thus, there was no purpose in giving permission; it would have been better to write from scratch.)

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

The subject is sufficiently notable that the article is worth rewriting, rather than simply deleting for being promotional, which is the alternative. As the ed, who created it is no longer active, I'll do it. DGG ( talk ) 00:54, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
