Edit of this page[edit]
Hello, I'm Randall and I've been tasked with updating this page for Steve Tappin.
I know Steve personally, as a friend. I understand that I am not able to edit based on COI - therefore is it possible for me to post here the changes requested, and have someone verify them?
I am not the author of the changes requested - these have come from Steve directly.
Apologies if this isn't the right forum and I look forward to your feedback. Fuzzsoth (talk) 22:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Fuzzsoth. Please go ahead and propose your suggestions here in the usual way. Edwardx (talk) 23:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Edward, thanks for this.
- The original edit I had proposed is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Tappin&oldid=1180172415 I'm only working on the initial sections for now, in order to learn and gain experience.
- As user Bojo has helpfully pointed out, I have a COI here as I know Steve personally. I don't really understand the COI declaration though!

- User bojo has noted that I can't use promotional materials and that the referenced "Tappin is an expert on China" is a no-go and also the "Tappin's highest calling" etc is a no-go. Could I rewrite the first as:
- "Tappin is regarded as an expert on Chinese business management and has been referred to as a confidant by [ref]"
- Is the CEO Guru section OK? It is factual...
- I understand that I need to replace the "highest calling" sentence as this is an opinion and not factual/referencable. Fuzzsoth (talk) 10:08, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
