Virtually all the citations are marked "Courtesy of Phil Jones from his personal biography." To me this raises a few issues. Firstly, 'courtesy of' seems to imply consent, but I don't know if that's the case here. Secondly, 'from' (his biography) suggests that it may have been copied & pasted, which could be copyvio; however, as the source is not linked I don't know where and how to check. And thirdly, citing the article subject's own autobiography looks like a probable COI problem. Views? DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:06, 15 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
