Manipulation of Bestseller List
ResultSource is a company who for a fee who will ensure a book obtains best-seller status. They do this by manipulating loopholes in the way bestseller lists are calculated. In short, it allows authors to buy their way onto the best-seller list. While I have no direct evidence that Joel did this, he did recommend ResultSource during a conference speech to the audience in 2014. He is clearly aware of their services and is not shy about recommending them. His Wikipedia article was also found to be created by a paid agency so there is a known history of manipulation by Mr. Comm. -- Green  C  23:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the interesting find. The article currently says: "The book was on the The New York Times Best Seller list and the Bloomberg Businessweek bestseller list in 2006." I think this is accurate whether or not Comm used ResultSource to manipulate the bestseller lists. Without a source confirming that Comm used ResultSource to manipulate the lists, it would be a BLP violation to include that information in the article. Another possibility is that the bestseller list mentions can be removed from the Wikipedia article. What do you think? Cunard (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well I think we go with available sources which say he was on the bestseller list. Even if it was found used resultsource, he'd still be on the bestseller list, with a caveat. I mention it here mostly in the hopes someone in the future has additional information. -- Green  C  23:45, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a good plan. Thank you for all the improvements and copyedits you've made to the article! Cunard (talk) 23:47, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
