- Comment: I've just noticed that "Udi shapiro" has declared on the talk page that he is Adi Shapiro's dad. Laura240406 (talk) 10:22, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I feel like it's a bit suspicious that the main author of this article is a user with the name "Udi shapiro", whose name is very close to the article subject's name and who has only ever edited this article. This could mean that they have a WP:COI with this article but it could also just be a coincidence. Laura240406 (talk) 12:54, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
