Talk:Devin Gaines

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Devin Gaines is a noteworthy individual. He earned five college degrees simultaneously on May 6, 2007, from the University of Connecticut. The article is still in progress. Please wait. Help requested from Wikipedia editors to add internal links to Wikifi the article as I don't know how to do this. Please help. Thank you.


Devin was at least the third person to earn five degrees simultaneously:

  • 1998 Eric Coyle (University of Nevada at Las Vegas; political science, psychology, sociology, criminal justice and communications) [source]
  • 2003 Michael Sheppard (Michigan State University; mathematics, statistics and probability, computational math, astronomy and astrophysics, and physics) [source]
  • 2007 Devin Gaines (University of Connecticut; computer science, cognitive science, theater studies, linguistics and psychology, and an individualized program in cinema, culture and cognition) [source]

I added a number of in-line citations to support details & removed a number of unsourced or overly specific details / anecdotes about Gaines. Although the article is shorter, I believe the quality has been improved. Also the article now focuses more on the reason he is notable - his earning of 5 degrees simultaneously.

This is the largest single contribution I’ve made to Wikipedia to date, so I’m definitely open to and interested in feedback on my work.
