This text uses a disproportionate amount of direct quotations, to a degree that might conflict with MOS. Signed, Guessitsavis (she/they) ^Talk 02:00, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of the sources in the sentence criticism section (specifically the Forbes reference) appears to be self published. Do you have another source that could verify the claims made in that section? Signed, Guessitsavis (she/they) ^Talk 02:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
