Atlantic306 ( talk) 20:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)This user's contributions, primarily in the category of theatrical productions, seem to reflect a troubling pattern of self-promotion. Having reviewed a large number of articles that were edited by Greg Cesear, I am lead to believe they are attempting to exploit Wikipedia for primarily marketing purposes, or otherwise in an effort to elevate their own status and reputation with little or no practical utility for Wikipedia's broader goals.
I first noticed this in the article for the 1983 play
Pack of Lies, where they edited the Productions
section to include a performance by the Cleveland-based theatre company "Cesear's Forum"
[1], for which they were the director
[2]. Similar edits
[3], adding their own theatre troupe's performances despite them not featuring any particularly notable events or cast members, with references to their local newspaper or periodicals either announcing or reviewing the shows.
I'm not suggesting that theatrical productions that are not necessarily mainstream Broadway, West End, et al, should be excluded from Wikipedia articles, but the additions of these independent or community productions should follow the same basic standards for Wikipedia in that they should be considered against their significance to the history of the article's featured topic, and should be submitted by a less obviously biased individual who was not directly involved, or otherwise compromised by clear conflicts of interest.
I have not yet begun to edit any of the pages in question, and would like this to be considered by a wider group of Wikipedians before suggesting that any of this user's content be removed. I am writing this on the user's own Talk page first to give them an opportunity to respond. It should be noted that there are also valid and compliant contributions that they have provided, and while they may deserve additional scrutiny considering the author's other activities, frequently engaged in parallel to some of the more acceptable work, but I recognize that their questionable edits do not necessarily represent the entirety of their input.
