Dear @Ozzie10aaaa, please add why you have added the "accuracy contested" tag, I think this is needed as I don't see a specific section or statements that you have tagged. (I have no opinion on this as it is outside my area of expertise, this is just a pro forma request.) Ldm1954 (talk) 17:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Some articles on Wikipedia may contain significant factual inaccuracies, i.e. information that is verifiably wrong per [2] and the initial tag that states There were three fake sources to statements in this article[3]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 18:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. @AmyEBHC has told me that she corrected the sources which I tagged. I did request an independent Expert opinion. Do you have evidence that supports that tag for the current version? Ldm1954 (talk) 18:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have trimmed substantially for the infobox and the article. I have checked for inaccuracies in reference and repaired or removed them. I added more supporting citations. @Ldm1954 shared WP Puffery which was helpful for guidance. It would be good to have an expert opinion on the page. AmyEBHC (talk) 06:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It looks much better now, although I think you should use the Infobox scientist (not person) {{Infobox scientist}}. I think it would be good to have comments from @Ozzie10aaaa who had a strong opinion, and perhaps also @Qflib. Ldm1954 (talk) 06:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It would be great to have the promo and false reference banners removed, I have made substantial changes and did a re errors check and it comes up clean with 44 references @Ldm1954@Ozzie10aaaa Thanks it does fit better with the Scientist Infobox and format. In retrospect, I could have started fresh rather than fix the banned editors work and work from their foundation. AmyEBHC (talk) 20:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
It looks like they were added by a Sockpuppet who was banned March 5 and this person had also pushed it into draft. . The false refs were removed , I removed the banners as it said I could in the instructions @Ldm1954 said this was inappropriate and then @Ldm1954@Ozzie10aaaa were connected with restoring the banners. I then worked on fixing language, framing,removing puffery, adding refs to unreferenced sources and improving the page. There were no fake references when the banners were restored. Whoever did this page originally did this academic no favors and it could harm his reputation when he can't even fix it himself do to COI. I understand this , it was an unfortunate chain of events. I hope we can all move past this and I would appreciate the banners being removed. How can I do this??? AmyEBHC (talk) 21:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
