@DGG: please elaborate the cleanup tag, you have not made it clear what the issue is. - Astrophobe (talk) 04:17, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I only tagged it with the lowest level cleanup tag, for it is easily fixable; there are worse, to be tagged as advertisements, and much worse, to be draftified. I recognize that you are a good faith editor, not the sort of academic press agent who write the majority of the submitted articles on academics. The people you are writing about are notable., and the articles are definitely needed in Wikipedia. I want to encourage you, not discourage you.

Even good faith editors often write in a somewhat promotional style, partly because they copy the style of the hundreds of thousands of promotional articles in Wikipedia that we need to fix or remove, and partly so much of the writing in the whole world is written in a promotional style. Encyclopedias should be different.

Press releases on academics characteristically use terms of praise, are not precise about the persons exact positions, give incomplete citations of the person's work, use cherry-picked quotations from book reviews, frequently repeat the person's name,

Encyclopedic bios of academics contains the full sequence of degrees and positions with dates, they(usually) include the name of the doctoral advisor and the title of the thesis, a complete list of books published, with year, date, publisher and ISBN (referenced to WorldCat) and the most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them from Google Scholar or Scopus or SCI. They include national level awards- and include significant honors such as editor in chief of a journal or president of a major organization, while omitting minor ones such as service on an editorial board or membership in an organization. They preferably use book reviews by making references to them, not including them in the text, --we have a device for significant quotation in the quote= parameter of cite book,

These problems affect all of your bios, if viewing the people as academics. It's true that articles on people who are primarily activists are typically much less specific, if that's the main notability and any academic work is incidental.

I'll be glad to look again fter you've improved them. They deserve proper articles that woill not be confused with promotionalism . DGG ( talk ) 23:28, 16 March 2020 (UTC) .[reply]
