Talk:Zoe Strimpel

Books
Her two books are described as having received positive reviews but the sources do not link to any positive reviews for either book. Two of them are not reviews - just extracts from her book published in women's magazines - and the remaining is a very mixed review for her second book in The Guardian. Will remove the claim unless anyone can provide a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:EF40:AA8:3D01:FD0:7E94:C59E:F067 (talk) 09:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

You seem to have spent a ridiculous amount of time on this one article besides touching a few other articles here and there to make it seem like this isn't a single-purpose account. I cannot help but wonder, are you a representative of Ms Strimpel? Do you work for, or with her, or know her? Is there a reason you have spent almost a decade of your life on Wikipedia editing her article alone? And come in just in the nick of time when she writes a hit piece to remove her early life section to avoid the 'Every. Fucking. Time.' meme playing true yet again? Are you a relative of hers? Or ARE you her? I couldn't picture a well adjusted normal person spending just shy of ten years haunting one single article on Wikipedia. That's insane. You started this in 2013 dude. I think it's time you fess up, or move on. 121.210.33.50 (talk) 22:43, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

On further examination it appears you are removing very particular things. For example, you removed that she was Jewish, why? You removed this section [] in particular? Why? You removed this solely because it's in the Jewish Chronicle, [] Why? You are painstakingly curating this to the level a PR firm would. This is incredibly problematic and POV. You have been painstakingly curating this article near exclusively since 2013 with a strong focus on removing all her work within the Jewish community, what on earth is the deal there?

Could someone with a bit more time on their hands go through https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Rgonsalv&offset=&limit=500&target=Rgonsalv and find all the stealth edits this guy has made removing stuff please? 121.210.33.50 (talk) 23:03, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

The article is weakly sourced and reads as a publicity article. E.g. the claim about attending a boarding school does not mention the name of the school, instead citing a similarly vague claim in an opinion piece in an article by the subject herself.

Yet again the theme of Wikipedia as a publicity vehicle, rather than an actual encyclopaedia, is played out.

Not worthy of an encyclopaedia
Obvious publicity. Nothing on early life, e.g. schooling in US. Nothing on parents, siblings, etc. Nothing on relationships - spouse(s), partner(s), children, etc. Just a list of publicity items.

Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not a publicity vehicle. 86.160.228.56 (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
