Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Jmunfor, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Summarizing what secondary sources say
[edit]Hello Jmunfor and thank you for the article on Kaufman. The article needs just a little bit work: we can only include sourced information, and we try to only neutrally summarize what secondary sources say (for articles on scientist, we do allow summarizing non-independant sources). So, we don't call people "prestigious researchers", we just say that their work has been cited X times or that they have won Y award. Feel free to write on my talk page if you ever have questions about editing. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:27, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Thomas Kaufman moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Thomas Kaufman, is too promotional, and needs rewriting. Make sure the article contains the full sequence of degrees and , with dates the 5 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; any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major outside positions, positions as president of major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ;
Remove all puffery, and statements of importance: the work and the awards should demonstrate it. Don;'t give the background to his science, but link to our articles.
I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
