Hi Spintendo,
Thank you for the review. However, I'd like to point out that Mikael Dolsten's new role is "Chief Scientific Officer, President, Pfizer Research & Development" (copied from MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media article). "Chief Oncology Research and Development Officer and EVP" is Chris Boshoff's new title, not Mikael's.
Could you please update it? Thank you.
Best,

 Done IMHO the COI editor should focus on adding more substantial secondary-source references to the article, rather than window-dressing type changes. Those types of improved references (including adding references to substantial information which is unreferenced) would benefit the article greatly.  Spintendo  20:23, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

🔼  Clarification requested  

  1. The simple phrase He is Jewish appears, on its own, not to be very encyclopedic in its prosaic appearance, no matter how genuine and accurate the statement appears to be. I would suggest placing the phrase within another sentence — either newly proposed or perhaps an existing one already in the article — so that its appearance in the text to the reader as only 3 words is not so abrupt.
  2. He pursued scientific studies in immunology and virology 1981 at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot Israel it is not clear what is meant by the phrase "he pursued". Needless to say, the pursuit of studies in most countries entails pursuit of a degree of some sort. This sentence would benefit from an elaboration of that kind. Please advise.
  3. The information concerning the subject's position as "head of research" did not include a Wikilink for the company at which the subject worked. The COI editor is kindly urged to include this information in future requests.

I've omitted the different headings of the pharm companies because the information within them was of a size that is too small to justify having separate headings. The information on the subject's varying activities at Pfizer were not added, suffice it to say, that the subject worked at Pfizer is enough to state. The different activities they performed are not germane to the whole of the article, as this is WP:NOTRESUME. Regards,  Spintendo  00:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
