Talk:Alexander Zaitsev (astronomer)

Zaytsev's work

In my opinion, the article over-sells Zaytsev's work, in particular with respect to radar astronomy. I can discuss this matter at length, but should not edit the article drastically because I do have a WP:COI. Michaelbusch (talk) 22:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Due to several recent edits, I will explain my conflict of interest. First, though, I'd like to remind editors of WP:BLP: we don't repeat honorifics (e.g. 'Prof.' or 'Dr.') at every possible occurrence in the article, and we include any notable awards - even those of dubious distinction (e.g. an ignobel or Zaizsev's award as 'Hooligan of the year'). That said, the article does need some stylistic corrections.

Now, my conflict-of-interest: I have some knowledge of radar astronomy, since I work with Steven Ostro (see my userpage). I therefore know rather more about the Toutatis observations than is reported here. I will have to review the literature, both public and JPL internal, to establish exactly who transmitted what when.

Based on recent edits, the advert tag has been removed. However, I will still be monitoring the article for NPOV. Michaelbusch (talk) 19:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Michael,

Dr. Zaitsev is absolutely right: the intercontinental radar observations were entirely his idea.

Please act immediately to correct your Wikipedia editing and email an apology to Dr. Zaitsev with copies to me and Yasmin Walter as soon as the text you excised is restored.

Steve.

The article has been corrected. I apologize for my mis-understanding.

Michael. Michaelbusch
