Rosguill! Thank you, thank you... thank you. Wasn't sure how to get that done properly, so figured that the fact that both pages already existed made my "flipping redirects" with cutpaste process a legitimate method. Clearly in over my head, forgot that this did not bring the edit history with it. Sorry for making some extra work for you by messing it up first! That's why you call on the professionals, in life and in Wiki. On the plus side, I had not read the article, so it looks like you caught another item, with the added Undisclosed paid notification. Thank you again. (no need to respond, just wanted to say "thanks") Jmg38 (talk) 06:13, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi there. I am working understand the 'undisclosed paid' banner I am seeing on this page. How do we go about making this satisfactory so that the banner can go away? Joshcortez30 (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, seeing as the issue is that it was written by an editor engaging in undisclosed paid editing, it will need a rewrite from an editor who is not engaging in UPE. I suppose if you work to rewrite the article, having declared your own conflict of interest, we could replace it with Paid contributions. signed,Rosguill talk 15:56, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Possible article updates
Hello! On behalf of my employer, Mayo Clinic, I am here with a request for updates to this biography of Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa. Proverbio created this article in July 2008, and Theroadislong posted constructive edits in recently in October 2022. Other users have attempted to update the article on behalf of Dr. Q and Mayo Clinic, but have not followed proper procedure, so I am here to properly request that the article updated and the disclaimer at the top of the article be removed. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in its development. I have a few suggestions to help improve the article as a resource for readers interested in Dr. Q. In my draft below, I edited the introduction and Early years, Education and Professional Career sections. In the intro, I updated Dr. Q’s advocacy, included his newest role at Mayo Clinic, and removed an accolade for which I could find no source to reference.

Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa  (also known as "Dr. Q") is a Mexican-American neurosurgeon, author, and researcher. He is the William J. and Charles H. Mayo Professor and Chair of Neurologic Surgery and runs a basic science research lab at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. On Nov. 1, 2022, he became the Dean of Research at Mayo Clinic in Florida, He is an editorial board member and reviewer for several publications. Most notably, he is the editor-in-chief for Schmidek and Sweet Operative Neurosurgical Techniques (6th edition). He is also one of the editors for Controversies in Neuro-Oncology: Best Evidence Medicine for Brain Tumor Surgery, which was awarded first prize by the British Medical Association. He is co-founder and serves as president of Mission: BRAIN, Bridging Resources and Advancing International Neurosurgery, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. He has published an autobiography, Becoming Dr. Q, about his journey from migrant farm worker to neurosurgeon, and recently Disney with Plan B Entertainment productions announced that his life story is going to be featured in a movie.

Early life
Quiñones was born in Mexicali, Baja California, México. In 1987, at the age of 19, Quiñones-Hinojosa went to the United States. Once arriving in the United States, Quiñones could not speak English and worked on farms outside of Fresno, California. As a farm hand, he saved enough money to take English classes.

Education
Quiñones-Hinojosa started his education at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California. He completed his bachelor's degree in psychology with the highest honors at University of California, Berkeley. He then went on to receive his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, where he graduated with honors. He also became a US citizen during this time. He then completed his residency in neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco, where he also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in developmental and stem cell biology at the laboratory of Professor Arturo Alvarez-Buylla.

Professional career
Quiñones began his career at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he became a Professor of Neurosurgery and Oncology, Neurology, and Cellular and Molecular Medicine and director of the Brain Tumor Stem Cell Biology Lab. Quiñones conducts both clinical and basic science research. From 2005 to 2016, his team published over 150 scientific articles and received 14 funding grants. Quiñones conducts numerous research efforts on elucidating the role of stem cells in the origin of brain tumors, and the potential role stem cells can play in fighting brain cancer and regaining neurological function. He has been actively involved in fundraisers for brain cancer research. He continues to participate at half-marathons with his research team and some of his own patients to raise money for cancer research.

Books
Quiñones is the author of more than 50 book chapters, and has authored several textbooks on neurosurgical techniques and stem cell biology. In 2011, Quiñones edited Core Techniques in Operative Neurosurgery and published his autobiography, Becoming Dr Q: My Journey from Migrant Farm Worker to Brain Surgeon, which went on to earn him an International Latino Book Award in 2012 . In 2012, Quiñones was the lead editor of the 6th edition of Schmidek and Sweet's Operative Neurosurgical Techniques, one of the world's preeminent textbooks of neurosurgery.

Recommendations for cleanup?
Hi! On behalf of my employer, Mayo Clinic, I am requesting recommendations for article cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view? With my aforementioned conflict of interest, I am curious if other editors can review? Proverbio, Jmg38, @Rosguill: Any recommendations or interest in reviewing? I appreciate any insight you have to offer. Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) Audrey at Mayo Clinic (talk) 17:09, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
