05:55:46, 27 March 2017 review of submission by MPaul

edit


Hello, in the interests of full disclosure, please know that I am submitting this draft entry as a former student and occasional research collaborator of Jon Chilingerian, Professor at Brandeis University. I am Mitchell Glavin, Associate Professor at Stonehill College.

The main sources for the draft I have submitted are the faculty profiles for Dr. Chilingerian at the websites for the Brandeis University Heller School and the Tufts University School of Medicine. While I am aware of the Wikipedia guidelines that frown upon using text from external sources, I was not entirely sure how to proceed here since these faculty profiles are largely composed by Dr. Chilingerian himself and intended for the widest possible distribution. Since Prof. Chilingerian is still very much alive, there are to date no obituaries or historical profiles that have been published about him.

As you can see, this is my first attempt at a contribution to Wikipedia. I would be happy to try to revise this profile into an acceptable format if I can get some actionable suggestions. Thank you! MPaul (talk) 05:55, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MPaul. Which criterion of WP:PROF do you believe Chilingerian satisfies? Awards and top n lists carry little weight at Wikipedia unless independent reliable sources cover them. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why i write the article is to help college students to easily find a reference about the Filipino writer Luis Joaquin Katigbak. Please help me for this article.

Hello, IP address. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The subject of your submission appears to meet our standards for having an article, but you've done a poor job of presenting the information. You might want to work through our WP:Tutorial to learn the basics of crafting a Wikipedia article. And you really do need to study our WP:Referencing for beginners, because citing your material to reliable sources (WP:RS) is essential for having an article published here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 15:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
