Talk:Wistar Institute

Citations

This page has a lot of facts that seem as though they should be readily verifiable. Does anyone have citations for them, or can anyone help to find citations? Seems like an easy page to get up to Wiki's standards.Brewspoker (talk) 16:38, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Incorrect Founder Information

The Wistar Institute was founded by Isaac Wistar (Isaac J. Wistar), not Caspar. Isaac was a Civil War general, Caspar was his great-uncle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.91.62.86 (talk) 16:03, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

We need a citation for that; but in the meantime I've commented out the implausible and uncited early history. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:01, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Working on removing promotional language

Hi! I'm going to go over this article and filter out content with a non-neutral tone. Atomic putty? Rien! (talk) 13:37, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

• Note: Language like "Educating and training the next generation of scientists are central to Wistar's mission. The Institute has developed several programs targeted to all levels of education" constitutes advertising language, because it is 1) not factually descriptive of the topic, i.e. not referring to a tangible feature of the topic which merits inclusion in an encyclopedia, AND 2) Full of buzzwords ripped from their website.
