I request that my biog be taken off "tagged" status and made a regular article.

I did not initiate this biography --- someone else did, about 2 years ago. I simply added some information, and I don't see anything unethical about that. Plenty of readers are looking for such info.

Regarding "verification," I don't know how to establish that, without going to a paper ("print") library. However, you editors could search amazon.com for shanefield and find the two textbooks that I wrote, one of which has a lot about my innovations in the field of ceramic "tape casting." If you search scholar.google.com for d. J. shanefield, you'll find several hundred items that I wrote in professional journals, and that other people wrote about my work.

Regarding the hi-fi audio "double-blind" test, which I originated, you can visit http://www.bostonaudiosociety.org/pictures.htm and go down to my picture, and see what their editors recorded there. I started that test in the audio field, defended it, and now it's used all over the world.

You could also go to patents.google.com and search for me, and find oodles to entries about my 16 U.S. patents and other people's usage of them, but that's an awkward sort of search.

This seems "notable" to me. I guess you can claim this is self-promotion, but I claim it's self-defense.

Respectfully (I think wikipedia is wonderful!), Dan Shanefield
