Hi I'm sorry to interject but I understand that this is the method to express concerns about articles (in the "talk" page edits)

I'm concerned that the many links in the first section are not informative but rather self-serving. I'm further concerned that the links are unexplained, as to their relevance to anybody interested in looking up this person but rather a whitewash of seeming credentials rather than explanations as to why these things which are linked are informative. As a specific example, what's currently in the page is the statement: "He also broke the story in the UCLA student paper, the Daily Bruin, of attempts by Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz to suppress the publication of Norman Finkelstein's Beyond Chutzpah by the University of California Press." And while that's cited, it's not particularly informative. There are links, but the page doesn't explain the significance.

Secondly, in the "Declassified UK" section, there again doesn't seem to be a reason this narrative needs to exist. It's somehow a non-sequitir about how Kennard perhaps was friends with some person and then found out they blacklisted them. There doesn't seem to be any valuable coherence to the narrative (including the third paragraph) which would make sense to anyone landing on the page and wondering what is going on with Matt Kennard. Which is exactly the question I had upon landing on the page and creating an account (Who is Matt Kennard and what are they about?), to ask about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burpel669 (talk • contribs) 09:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
