"Since you reading abilities are the ones that's suffering, and you don't you don't come off as being to swift. the author of the article was what was in question."
Allow me to fix that for you:
"Since [your] reading [ability is] the one that's suffering, [*] [you don't] come off as being [too] swift. [T]he author of the article [is whom] was in question."
*I needed to delete the word "and" here
As far as an author goes, that's what all the citation numbers are for; there are several authors.
