How to deal with the Joerg Dietz problem
asked at helpdesk
Dietz appears at first to be a notable academic with an impressive background. In reality, he considers his wikipedia bio to be his personal play space, has edited it multiple times, and largely ignores his talk page.
His content and reference list are promotional Linked-in style content, and the references are all papers he has co-authored. I am seeking advice as to how to deal with this very common sort of content. To be quite frank, I would reduce his bio to
Joerg Dietz is a German professor at HEC Lausanne. He has co-authored several papers.
That is a little bit exaggerated, in the interests of wry humor. However, the question remains sincere! Thank you for your time Reechard (talk) 06:53, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Crazy ideas
Wikipedia proposal: gamify small improvements, esp "citation needed."
- Example: Your_name has made N edits, identified X and solved Y problems.
Problem: Citation hunt tool (other?) has resulted in an explosion of "citation_needed" and other warnings in many (1%?) of articles. A gentle gamification of this process may encourage what might be considered drudge work.
I'm not suggesting anything too crazy here; simply keeping track of the "identify X and solve Y" problems may be enough to have an effect.
