Talk:Carlos Castillo-Chavez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] COI
Whilst it may be factually accurate so far as it goes, the neutrality of the article needs stringent scrutiny, due to apparent cause for concern related to a possible conflict of interest.
Specifically the author may be close to the subject. Even with a renowned and highly acclaimed subject, this may lead to non-neutral editing unless careful. A check by neutral editors is probably a good way to ensure Wikipedia standards are in fact complied with.

- This statement is sourced from Castillo-Chavez's own description of himself, and reads like a promotion text. Probably needs review and rewriting. And a neutrality check on the text as a whole - factual but is it balanced in the sense that this is how other reliable sources and biographies represent him too? Worth a quick check.
