  • Comment: needs to be rewritten like a Wikipedia bio, not an academicCV DGG ( talk ) 09:07, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've fixed a couple of references. The physician is ultra notable but the article really needs titles. Also, some refs just point to the landing page of the site. It would be better to have references that confirm he is what says he is. I changed one reference as it doing that, pointing to a landing page, instead of content that confirms the facts. Please give me a shout when your finished and I'll promote it to mainspace. scope_creepTalk 22:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: An encyclopedia article is not a CV. Make sure the article contains, first, the basic biographical information such as birthyear and birthdplace, then the full sequence of degrees and positions, with dates. Next, the 5 or so most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them; any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major outside positions, such as president of major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ; Membership or minor offices in most societies, and service on editorial boards, do not count for much & are better omitted.
    AND
    check the cite web format and add the title=fields. They are considered essential. DGG ( talk ) 00:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Excessive external links within the body. Please see WP:REFB and fix the citation style. Hitro talk 09:33, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
