Draft:Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Apart from the fact that many of the references are bare URLs which do not include even a minimum of the necessary information (see WP:REFBEGIN for a guide on how to present sources), there are multiple sales websites for her books (not acceptable sources), promotional blurbs at websites for organisations she's employed at (useless for Wikipedia's purposes), and sources such as this one which appears to have nothing to do with her at all. At present I'm not sure there is a single useful source in the draft. That is in addition to the promotional tone in the entire text. bonadea contributions talk 21:13, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
