Bias of this page?

I came across this article as Jeff Wooller was listed as a "notable resident" of Monte Carlo. To me it seems that this article is very euphemistic, and does not clearly explain that this person has been excluded from professional accounting organisations for being involved with scam universities. I think this should be much more prominently explained in the article, as in the current state there is no mention of the reasons why Jeff Wooller has been excluded - you have to read the references of the article in order to discover the serious credibility issues with this man. To be honest I'm pretty suspicious that this article has been written mainly by Jeff Wooller himself.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jeff Wooller/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman 17:36, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here the issues I found:

The first paragraph of early career is essentially that he was a former this and former that, so it gets a bit repetitive. Could we either get dates added to get a better idea of his career or having it reworded a bit for better flow?

I've beefed up the Early life and career section and added some dates. Tentinator

We have two one-sentence paragraphs in that section; combine them into other ones or expand those spots a bit so they aren't stand-alone sentences. Also see the next point:

Done. Tentinator

"In 2007, Wooller lost his membership as an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Financial Accountants after appearing on television.[13]" Okay, there's either a lot I'm missing here or a lot the article's missing. Is there more to it? Just "appearing on television" makes me feel like there's information missing, since I'm fairly certain that showing up on TV wouldn't automatically remove someone from an organization. Also, 2007 doesn't qualify as early career, so maybe that sentence should be moved elsewhere in the article. (The quote in the ref, ironically, provides the detail I'm looking for that is omitted in the article.)

Done. Tentinator

The Institute section has a lot of paragraphs starting with "In [year]...". Restructure a bit so it's not repetitive.

Done. Tentinator

"executive of the ICAEW be elected directly, by the 109,000 members of the body" rm comma

Done. Tentinator

"ICAEW be allowed to vote on Gerrard's key constitutional reform proposals" who's Gerrard? (first name and link or description)

Added Gerrard's first name. Tentinator

Ref #45 (Capital Barter) needs a publisher/date or accessdate if possible.

Added accessdate. Tentinator

There's a couple articles where heavy quotes in the refs are used where any can access them (namely the plagiarized mba one). I'd majorly trim that one and others. For those where many would not have access to them (the ebscohost ones, for example), I'm okay with the quotes even if they are a bit lengthy; there's only five quote-in-refs total anyway so this is probably an overreaction.

Removed MBA quotation. Tentinator 13:01, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when issues are fixed. Wizardman 18:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 03:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
