Welcome!

Hello, Eaglefoot127, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Category:Sanford School of Public Policy Faculty, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Dear Nuggeteer,

Thank you for reviewing my article on Lisa A. Gennetian. It is my first one, and I want to get it right. I have reviewed the WP:RS guidelines and the Referencing for Beginners pages you recommended.

My working theory is that the main problem is that I am over-relying on her profile page at Duke. Is that correct?

I also rely on the profile pages of the organizations she has been affiliated with to establish her affiliation. Should I refrain from doing that too?

I looked at other academic pages (Alan Sokol, Paul R. Gross, and others), and found that they usually didn't substantiate that they worked at a particular university or studied a particular topic in their first paragraphs.

Finally, as I re-read it, I realized that some evaluating language needed to be removed: claims like "top journals," "best known for," or "widely regarded" have been removed.

Thanks again for any guidance. I am eager to move onto other topic for Wikipedia.
