This is a resume
This article, in spite of much editing by new and single purpose accounts, is still just somebody's resume. It doesn't even pretend to be a biography yet. Please cease removal of the Like resume tag until this issue has been settled. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Response to this is a Resume
Thanks for your comments. This is my first attempt at creating a Wikipedia entry. I am still learning the process as well as the do's and don't. I am therefore sorry if I have not done things correctly or upset anyone by removing the "Like resume tag" when I should not have. Please understand I am still learning how this works. With that in mind, let me attempt to address your concerns one by one: Regarding COI, I have no COI (at least that I am aware of). I met the subject of this article at a wine event in Hong Kong. I was very impressed with him and his wine. I tried to find out more about him but found very little online except a New York Times article, the reviews of his book and a few of the other periodicals referenced in the article. I have attempted to edit the article to make it less like a resume and more like a biography. I have removed "peacock like" phrases etc. Perhaps you could give me guidance on what else can be done. Regarding the book links, thank you for providing a proper citation. I did not know how to cite books, but now I do and will be more careful in the future. You are correct in calling this a single purpose account. That is simply because I am trying to get this article right before moving on to others. In the future, I would like to create an article about Mr. Powers winery, as I like you Amatulic am a lover of wines. Buildingblock (talk) 04:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation. I apologize for the curt tone in my comment above, and for appearing impatient at the repeated removal of a tag that I felt belonged in the article.
 * Please have a look at Biographies of living persons for further guidance about biographies in Wikipedia.
 * Also look at Manual of Style (biographies) for guidance on the lead paragraph and personal naming conventions.
 * WikiProject Biography also has some tips for writing biographies. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
