Question for nerds: I've found an article on Wikipedia about a techbro that very much reads like it's written by the dude himself to advertise him personally - I've already removed the in-body external link to his company, but the rest of the article still reads like a puff piece and conveniently omits any negative press coverage.

Where/how do I report this as something that needs to be looked at? I do not currently have the spoons to fix it myself.

@joepie91 i think one thing is putting a conflict of interest/written by who the article is about notice on the article

@jacksonchen666 That's the thing, I don't actually know how to do that, I rarely edit Wikipedia

@joepie91 i'm not exactly sure either. wikipedia has mentors (on the wikipedia ""homepage"" (for logged in users) at en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?t (for english)), maybe you could let them know?

(i had a mentor handle a suspicious edit i noticed, not sure if that'll be the same for all)

if that doesn't help then... i have nothing
