Advertisement / Self-Sourcing

I added the advert section template to the Business Career section of the article. The section reads like it was written by Stedman himself (or his publicist or someone else with an obvious bias). Look at how the section was before I cleaned it up and consolidated it as well. In any case, it's full of added buzz words like "best selling" and contains several references that all link to pages on his foundation's website. In fact, there aren't any independent references in that paragraph (which was its own section, complete with the section header being a link to his foundation, before I cleaned it up).

I don't know enough about the guy to re-write it myself. I was just wanting to learn more about him, only to find this cheap self-promotion instead. Somebody really needs to fix this article-- or at least that section-- with a fresh, independent re-write. 174.31.194.71 (talk) 23:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I disagree. There are criticisms of him in that pointing out the fact that he is connected to a Congressman who got censured. I dunno what kind of company ya'll work for but I can tell you that wouldn't be in any advertisements I would pay for. With ads like that, who needs competitors?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.13.139 (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree that it reads like Advertisement, it might as well be a sales blurb, pretty sad. M4bwav (talk) 23:46, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
