Would someone like to post a link to professor Randall's appearance on NPR's Talk of the Nation show from March 20, 2009? It's at http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=5&prgDate=03-20-2009&view=storyview —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twfeline (talk • contribs) 17:08, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright problem? The first paragraph of the article is taken word for word (except for changing "one of two main" to "several of the") from the brief author bio on the dustjacket of Warped Passages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.154.155.138 (talk • contribs) 02:55, 4 September 2006

Is she Jewish?lutherian 10:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.103.228 (talk) 21:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please post this image of her (http://universe-review.ca/I15-71-LisaRandall.jpg) on Wikipedia, so I can edit it on the brazilian article?

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.25.154.201 (talk) 21:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, that would almost certainly be a copyvio. – ukexpat (talk) 00:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What did she do?

The article talks all about her and says she "worked on" this and that, but specifically what did she do ? What did she ever discover for science ? Why is she so promoted in the mass media when as far as I can see she is noted for nothing in particular. 173.169.90.98 (talk) 03:05, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. She's guilty. OF BEING HOT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.129 (talk) 10:46, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Atheism

I think that strong references for this claim are necessay, since "being an atheist" is meant as an insult in large parts of the world. The google search terms Lisa Randall atheist lists this article on Rank four, so let's find other sources first before we make that claim, especially in regard to WP:ORIG. --Schtobia (talk) 07:47, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion Warning

The edit on 1 Nov 2013 by 128.100.79.225 is subject to reversion because

1. No citation

2. Neutral POV

3. Original Research

4. It interrupts the flow of the biography with an inappropriately detailed criticism.

The content of the edit does not add substantially to existing content and the tone of the edit is at once speculative (original research, uncited) and seems prejudiced against the research of this living person (POV, bad style).

Please respond on this talk page. Ggpauly (talk) 03:14, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
