COI concern

There is a concern that there is a likely violation here of our guidelines against autobiographical editing, given User:Nexialist56's contributions to the biographical article and the fact that the subject's blog is entitled The Nexialist Blog. For this reason, I am placing a COI template tag on the article, to bring attention to any potentially self-promotional content or first-person sources being used to confer notability. - 2601:42:C100:81D8:7148:D70E:8A6D:27EF (talk) 20:48, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Particularly of concern is the overuse of http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/nrs/ as a source, given that it is a self-authored series of web pages, not an independent, third-party perspective. Editor in question has been notified of this discussion. - 2601:42:C100:81D8:7148:D70E:8A6D:27EF (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
