Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa <---> Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa

Rosguill! Thank you, thank you... thank you. Wasn't sure how to get that done properly, so figured that the fact that both pages already existed made my "flipping redirects" with cutpaste process a legitimate method. Clearly in over my head, forgot that this did not bring the edit history with it. Sorry for making some extra work for you by messing it up first! That's why you call on the professionals, in life and in Wiki. On the plus side, I had not read the article, so it looks like you caught another item, with the added {{Undisclosed paid}} notification. Thank you again.

COI tag

Hi there. I am working understand the 'undisclosed paid' banner I am seeing on this page. How do we go about making this satisfactory so that the banner can go away? Joshcortez30 (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Well, seeing as the issue is that it was written by an editor engaging in undisclosed paid editing, it will need a rewrite from an editor who is not engaging in UPE. I suppose if you work to rewrite the article, having declared your own conflict of interest, we could replace it with {{Paid contributions}}. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:56, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Possible article updates

Hello! On behalf of my employer, Mayo Clinic, I am here with a request for updates to this biography of Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa. Proverbio created this article in July 2008, and Theroadislong posted constructive edits in recently in October 2022. Other users have attempted to update the article on behalf of Dr. Q and Mayo Clinic, but have not followed proper procedure, so I am here to properly request that the article updated and the disclaimer at the top of the article be removed. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in its development. I have a few suggestions to help improve the article as a resource for readers interested in Dr. Q. In my draft below, I edited the introduction and Early years, Education and Professional Career sections. In the intro, I updated Dr. Q’s advocacy, included his newest role at Mayo Clinic, and removed an accolade for which I could find no source to reference.

With my aforementioned conflict of interest, I am here to see if other editors can make the above changes. Proverbio and Theroadislong: If you are still interested in editing this article, I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks! Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) 15:10, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

 Not done there is zero chance of anybody implementing a total re-write of the article, I suggest you request one sentence at a time in the form of change x to y and give a reliable independent source. This is NOT your companiy's article it is Wikipedia's article. Theroadislong (talk) 15:32, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback, Theroadislong. My hope was to make it easier for you and other editors to review, but I understand your perspective. Here are my requests:

1. Remove the last line from the first paragraph of the intro: "He was named as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the U.S. by Hispanic Business Journal in 2008." I could find no source for this statement. Done Theroadislong (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

2. Please consider adding this line to the intro: On Nov. 1, 2022, he became the Dean of Research at Mayo Clinic in Florida. Not done no independent source. Theroadislong (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

3. Please consider changing the section heading "Early years" to "Early life" to be consistent with other articles. Done Theroadislong (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

What recommendations do you have to clean up the article and remove the disclaimer?

Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) 21:12, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your edits, Theroadislong. What recommendations do you have for cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view?

Recommendations for cleanup?

Hi! On behalf of my employer, Mayo Clinic, I am requesting recommendations for article cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view? With my aforementioned conflict of interest, I am curious if other editors can review? Proverbio, Jmg38, @Rosguill: Any recommendations or interest in reviewing? I appreciate any insight you have to offer. Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) 17:09, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
