Talk:Ricardo Azziz

Making Edits

Hello! I'd like to make some edits to this page, as it is out of date with old information from a now-defunct page. Ricardo Azziz is now President of Georgia Regents University and there are some biographical updates that need to be made.

I'm mentioning this - just as I have on the other GRU-affiliated pages I've worked on - to state that I DO work for the institution in question. However, I understand that EVERYTHING I put needs to be properly sourced from excellent sources, and that my work will be given a through scrutiny.

Just wanted to post this and invite any questions/comments/concerns here or on my talk page. Thank you! GRUcrule (talk) 18:49, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

For those reading, I have been making edits, as I said I would. Please feel free to double-check my work and give me a shout if you have any concerns, questions, etc. I'm certainly doing my best to properly cite/source everything, and format infoboxes, etc. correctly. Thanks! GRUcrule (talk) 14:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for being up front about this and not being offended. The templates are for transparency to other editors and not an assumption of bad faith on your part. Happy editing :-) Wgnome0613 (talk) 16:50, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

I will be working to make some edits, so would appreciate your comments. Specifically, this profile was created and focuses on Ricardo Azziz's time at then, Georgia Regents University. I will be working to make the profile more of an overview, as opposed to being heavily focused on one area. Of course, keeping with the standards of NPOV and citing sources for new information and adding in sources that are currently missing. Look forward to any feedback, Thanks!

No mention of controversy

Since the main editor works at the institution then the article should also follow wikipedia policy and take a NPOV and have a controversy section. Because Azziz's actions as president of the now combined local schools has generated a lot of controversy and political tension at the local and state level.

Hey, User:GetAgrippa, I don't disagree with you. Per Wgnome's advice on my talk page, I'm doing all I can not to edit this article any further and let the Wikipedia community at large handle edits such as your suggestion. I'd feel a lot better that way, anyway, considering the subject matter, though I'm happy to help here or on my talk page if someone has a question. GRUcrule (talk) 20:52, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

COI disclosure - lhubbard2203a

Edits that were made to this page by myself were made on behalf of Ricardo Azziz and I received compensation to do so. The edits were made to provide updates regarding his employment as his employer had changed. The edits that were undone on 3/2/2020 negate those changes and the page is no longer accurate. At a minimum, updates to the page to reflect the current employment would greatly improve the accuracy of this page. After that - I can work on looking again at the references and statements to ensure a neutral point of view. Many thanks! Lhubbard2203a (talk) 23:35, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Consider

Dear Wikipedia COI editors,

The following addresses an update to Ricardo Azziz becoming Chief Executive Officer of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

I have COIs as a member of ASRM since 1975, of its IT committee, and of one of its associated editorial boards. I have also known Ricardo since the 1990s. I am retired and receive no compensation from ASRM, Dr. Azziz, or their associates, employees, relatives, etc. I am a part-time employees of Virginia Commonwealth University as an Institutional Review Board reviewer and no other paid work.

I hope that the changes in the first three paragraphs are acceptable.

This is in two sections: 1) Suggested text changes to main section compared with current, 2) MediaWiki markup language for the corresponding Infobox officeholder and main changes

The new version is in Memdmarti/sandbox. If you want me to put them on the page and test them, please let me know.

Thank you. Dan Martin. Memdmarti (talk) 22:14, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
