Points on Multiple Issues Template

Many thanks to Polyamorph for a review within minutes of the article's posting! Several points:

Feldhaus meets at least three WP:NACADEMICS Notability criteria for Academics: Named Professorship; Guggenheim, Fulbright-Haeys, awards; and Presidency of a major national association.
Academic CV's on major university websites are acceptable citations.
Mightthe "unreviewed" template be removed?

Academic CVS may be acceptable but they are still primary sources. I'll remove the notability tags but the sources need work. Cheers. Polyamorph (talk) 19:29, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks once again for the quick reply, but I'm not clear on what needs to be verified. I would have thought that a university published CV would be a secondary source for things like DOB, positions, awards, etc. There are plenty of reviews of her works, but of course they don't go into her biography. All the best... ch (talk) 19:53, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting from WP:Notability (Academics) "major awards listed must be confirmed, claims of impact in the field need to be substantiated by independent statements, reviews, citation metrics, library holdings, etc.". Anne Feldhaus undoubtedly published that CV herself, it's not an independent source. Polyamorph (talk) 20:18, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Polyamorph Apologies for taking so long to get back to this after adding references for major awards, but when I look at the WP:NPROF#General notes I find that the language there may need clearing up. The sentence you quoted above is later followed by "However, once the facts establishing the passage of one or more of the notability criteria above have been verified through independent sources, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details." Not clear what is "routine."

Also, she may or may not have supplied the CV but she didn't "undoubtedly publish" it.

I continue to thank you for your good work and entirely agree with your impulse to check things out since sometimes they don't check out.ch (talk) 04:07, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
