This article is currently under discussion at the Biographies of living persons noticeboard. Content in living persons' biographies must be adequately supported by reliable sources and give due weight facts as indicated in those sources. Primary sources can be cited for basic biographical information, however those touching on notability or significant accomplishments should be supported by coverage in independent third-party sources. I've performed a cleanup to address the following problems:
The content I removed may, of course, be replaced with reliable third-party sources that support not only the content, but also its significance. Below are some links that might lead to such coverage:

Based on a job posted on Upwork, a paid editor was hired in August 2021 to add content to the article. The new content needs to be checked. I haven't yet confirmed if the editor concerned was evading a block - if that's the case, this will be easier to fix. - Bilby ( talk) 22:08, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

A few months ago, when I was on the cover of the most important magazine in my industry in the UK, I posted to a site asking if I could hire someone to add a reference to the magazine on this page since I didn't know how to do it and no one had yet. I ended up paying someone on UpWork and they added two references. I am sorry. I didn't know this would be a problem. What should I do to fix this and make it right?
At the time, I didn't know about the edit request process at (< /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Edit_requests>) to ask for specific changes to an article related to me.
What should I do to remove these edits and clear this page about me of the Paid edits banner? Thank you for your help, kindness, and understanding. Additionally, I am now on the faculty at Soka University and will try the above link for the edit request process to see if anyone wants to add that to the page.
