COI editing

There appears to be conflict of interest editing going on here. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Memorial_Sloan_Ketter_Cancer_Center_nest_of_COI_editing. I cleaned this up some. Jytdog (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the article

I've been working on a slightly expanded version of the article in my sandbox, but I've mainly been focused on adding references to the article where they were missing. One seemingly minor change I'm proposing as well is the removal of the description of Massagué as Spanish in the lead, as he considers himself Catalan. Would anyone mind taking a look at my new draft? I declared my COI with Memorial Sloan Kettering above.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 00:28, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Specific changes are listed below:

Removed the hyphens from Memorial Sloan Kettering
Changed “Spanish scientist” to “biologist” as not everyone from Barcelona identifies as Spanish
Copyedited lead paragraph to be more straightforward
Added missing references from Biography section and added a citation needed tag for his work under Guinovart
Rearranged content to read more chronologically and moved awards into Awards and honors section
Expanded Scientific contributions section, with references to support content
Created Awards and honors section with content from Biography section, as well as new additions for a more comprehensive look

@Natureium: thanks for all your help! If you have a minute, could you take another look at the lead paragraph? I can appreciate if you disagreed with the way it was written, but as it stands it's partially incorrect, as he is no longer chair of the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program. Also, I think the "Solé" should be removed from the first sentence, for the reasons given in the move request. I'd be happy to collaborate on a new version if you feel the one I proposed in my sandbox is inadequate. Thanks again!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 17:24, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved as requested, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 20:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Joan Massagué Solé → Joan Massagué – I think this is a straightforward move, but I'm refraining from doing it myself as I have a paid COI regarding the article. This Wikipedia article seems to be the only significant place that refers to him as Joan Massagué Solé. An apparent majority of his academic papers credit him as Joan Massagué, as all of the references included in the current article refer to him as Joan Massagué, including (but not limited to) these papers:

Google search results return about 50000 results for "Joan Massagué" vs about 6000 for "Joan Massagué Solé", and his Google Scholar profile lists him as Joan Massagué as well. Currently Joan Massagué redirects to Joan Massagué Solé, but it should be the other way around given how he is referred to in his professional career and the media.

Support I don't imagine anyone will disagree with this, but I don't see a provision for closing requested moves early. Natureium (talk) 06:34, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
