research self-promotion

The parts on research should be checked for relevance. Wikipedia should not be a tool for self-promotion of researchers. I don't think academic work (even working papers are mentioned here) should be listed here without proof of relevance, for example via some measure of high quality academic citations or uptake in reliable media sources.

Latter flagged

Hi, the lead/infobox shows conflicting LinkedIn user numbers (1B members vs. 310M MAU, with the latter flagged “unreliable”) — should this be clarified or updated with a better source?
