Talk:Ariel Fernandez/Archive 1

COI and BLP sources
This article has been tagged by two different editors for conflict of interest and inadequate sourcing of a biography of a living person, and both times the tags were removed quickly. The tags are related. The potential for conflict of interest is high: the vast majority of the edits are by User:Ariel Fernandez(talk) and User:Arifer(talk) (an obvious contraction of Ariel Fernandez). When there is a potential conflict of interest, an editor should be especially careful to add independent sources for any statements about the importance of the subject's work. In this article, there are multiple uses of the word "pioneered" that are not backed by any independent sources. Indeed, "pioneering" is an example of WP:PUFFERY and probably shouldn't be used at all. Arifer should remember that this is an encyclopedia and be aware that all statements should adopt a neutral point of view. Therefore, I am reinstating the tags. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:38, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear RockMagnetist, This article was created by somebody unrelated to Ariel Fernandez, so there is no conflict of interest. Many of the edits have been done from a number of accounts unrelated to Ariel Fernandez as far as I can see. The account Arifer is used by people in the AF Innovation team solely to rectify the record, whenever an inaccuracy is spotted. The article as it stands today is accurate, balanced and properly referenced, in compliance with Wiki regulations.

 * Putting the COI issue aside for a moment (we'll let the sockpuppet investigation run its course), the language in this article is certainly not neutral - particularly the word "pioneering" as I mentioned above. See if you can find some more specific statements that are backed up by a third-party references. The most recent addition has the vague "praised for its therapeutic impact", which also looks like self-promotion. On the other hand, this edit was a definite improvement. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear User RockMagnetic: The praise of the doctor´s pioneer approach to drug design has been backed by specific quotes by Harvard professor George Demetri published in the high-impact Journal of Clinical Investigation. This quotes have been now added to the article. VivaAcademia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.16.50.52 (talk) 17:44, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Inadequate references
Of the eight sources cited as references, four appear to be listings of staff, fellows or members, two are his own papers, and just two appear to be independent, and are cited in support of a sentence that is not about the subject, but about a conjectured corrollary of his work. I do not see how these, even taken together, establish that he "has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (from Notability (people)). The "external links" section has far more links than are sanctioned by WP:EL. --ColinFine (talk) 19:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Colin Fine, Your assessment surely seems wrong. The references reveal that the eminent science writer Philip Ball published two articles praising the doctor's research and his bold approach in two high-visibility venues: Nature and Chemistry World (Royal Society). The latter contains a picture of the doctor. I myself have also added now a review of the doctor's book by Rice University. The doctor held an endowed chair professorship at Rice University, which according to Wiki's previous assessment bespeaks of notability. Furthermore, I believe his Distinguished Leader lecture delivered at Georgia Institute of Technology (linked in the article) and the review of his recent work in Physics, the official magazine of the American Physical Society (also linked in the article) eloquently reveal that the doctor is a notable person. No slouch publishes in Nature or Physical Review Letters as first author and gets reviewed by Nature and APS for his contributions. WikiContributor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.117.172.25 (talk) 20:55, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Colin Fine, I just found and added more praise for Fernandez work, this time from George Demetri, the eminent Harvard professor, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The doctor's notability is therefore well supported. WikiContributor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.117.172.25 (talk) 21:11, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Ariel Fernandez satisfies the notability criteria for academics in more than one way. He has received sufficiently notable awards - the Guggenheim Fellowship is specifically mentioned as acceptable. Election as fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering probably also qualifies. He has also had a named chair at Rice University. The guidelines state that any one of these is enough to establish notability. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection
Due to Sockpuppet investigations/Arifer, I have indef semi-protected the article. If in the future, it is determined that meatpuppetry and/or sockpuppetry is no longer likely, then any admin can feel free to revert without asking ahead of time, although a note on my talk page afterwards is requested.

I am content to let it go in any case, as the issue is minor, but I do appreciate the response and diligence of your team in ensuring objectivity in the wiki entries.

Ariel Fernandez is not affiliated with Rice University at this time. However, the box says that he is.

At Ariel Fernandez publishes his own CV. There he makes it clear that his appointment at Rice is over.

Instead of Rice University, I suggest that you substitute Instituto Argentino de Matematica (IAM), Buenos Aires, Argentina.

unverifiable information
Pardon if this is not the correct forum or window: I am not an expert commentator, but the "counter-suggestion" to mine seems not to be well supported or verifiable.

The page http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people seems to be the page one level higher (what used to be called an index page) in that Chicago University Web site, from which probably http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people/ariel once hung. However, Ariel Fernandez is no longer listed by name on http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people and so it seems that  http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people/ariel is an orphan page.

This conclusion is supported by the fact that the page http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people/ariel indicates that Fernandez is affiliated with Rice - yet he is not in Rice's online directory) and with M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, but he is not on that institution's web space, either, as best as I can tell. It follows that the Chicago page is in fact orphaned and unreliable. Moreover, the previous commenter believes that the information is coming from "his" University of Chicago website. Even if up to date, therefore, it is not independent of the Ariel Fernandez, who is the subject of the wikipedia article.

At http://afinnovation.com/images/Businesscard.jpg Ariel Fernandez says that his title at Collegium Basilea in Basel is "Honorary Investigator." If one searches for that Swiss institution, access to the Web space http://pages.unibas.ch is either forbidden or goes to a server test page. Thus, the only documentation for Ariel Fernandez's affiliation with the Collegium seems to have been provided by Ariel Fernandez. It would be great if it could be verified independently.

Finally, Ariel Fernandez's home page at IAM, cited in the Wikipedia article, seems to be unavailable. However, this address http://www.conicet.gov.ar/new_scp/detalle.php?id=33676&datos_academicos=yes&keywords=Ariel%20Fernandez does document Ariel Fernandez's affiliation with IAM and CONICET.

I suggest that CONICET and its Instituto Argentino de Matematica remain the sole affiliation listed because it can be verified with information curated by the government of Argentina. Until the beliefs stated about other affiliations can be verified with reliable and independent evidence, they should not be published as fact.

Mr Fernandez has recently threatened legal action against a well-known scientific blog citing defamation:

I just learned that Ariel Fernandez is an inventor in the comprehensive world-wide patent (WO2008070350) METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATED TO WRAPPING OF DEHYDRONS The patent is described by the World Intellectual Property Organization, in the link

http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2008070350&recNum=1&maxRec=&office=&prevFilter=&sortOption=&queryString=&tab=PCT+Biblio

Since this patent covers the dehydron invention indicated in the article, mention of this patent may be included in the Wikipedia article.

Edit Request on May 31, 2013
According to the Collegium Basilea (Swiss Institute for Advanced Study) website at Academia.edu, Dr. Ariel Fernandez is currently an Honorary Faculty Member who works at this institution. The letter of appointment signed by the president of Collegium Basilea can be downloaded from the website: http://colbas.academia.edu/ArielFernandez

On these grounds, I would thus like to request that the Wikipedia article on Ariel Fernandez be edited to reflect his current employment as Honorary Faculty at Collegium Basilea, Institute for Advanced Study in Basel, Switzerland.

 * This "Collegium Basilea (Swiss Institute for Advanced Study)" is an obvious bogus thing. It is basically a virtual "institute" with no buildings and staff. The address given on its webpage is a private house where you can find a Chinese restaurant, a car spare-parts dealer, some funny companies and private persons. According to the web-page (http://www.colbas.org/) it has "no residential accommodation", but it encourages intellectual exchange between members... and you can become a member by applying to the president - and paying an annual subscription. So I think this tells anybody who wants to know what kind of "institute" that is. Everybody can join and it has no scientific credibility at all. However, the web-site is full of claims of other bogus institutes and organizations (which can only be reached by the e-mail: info@colbas.org....

 * Firstly, the article already mentions his honorary membership under the "Awards" section, secondly Academia.edu is technically a social network, not a reliable source. It may however be suitable as an external link. Rubiscous (talk) 23:06, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Patent US 8,466,154 awarded to Ariel Fernandez and others for the discovery of the wrappping technology.
I believe mentioning of the US patent 8,466,154 awarded to Ariel Fernandez and collaborators on June 18, 2013 is needed. This patent was awarded for the wrapping technology discovered by Ariel Fernandez and mentioned in the article and can be found at http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8466154.html

Perhaps the mentioning can read as follows: On June 18, 2013, the patent US 8,466,154 was awarded to Ariel Fernandez and collaborators for the discovery of the wrapping technology and its application in molecular cancer therapy.

Controversies?
The (quite reliable) blog Retraction Watch just wrote another post on this researcher. It would appear that for the sake of balance, at least something should be said in the article about these issues. --Randykitty (talk) 18:04, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * What makes that Wordpress blog "quite reliable"?


 * Also, even judging by title of that piece, they're hardly neutral or independent on this topic. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:26, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, it's written by two recognized experts on retractions. For example, they also write a monthly column on the topic in Lab Times, a respected science magazine. They indeed have a history with this person who is one of a few to threaten them with a lawsuit for reporting on something that was quite openly published elsewhere (an "expression of concern"). I didn't want to link to all Retraction Watch posts about this person, but certainly the first one (here) was independent and neutral. And reading through their most recent post, I don't really see any signs that they were influenced in their reporting by the previous threat with a lawsuit. If you like, ask for advice on the reliable sources noticeboard, I'm sure that editors there will agree that this blog is a reliable source. --Randykitty (talk) 19:39, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I was thinking more of WP:BLPN, which is probably how I got here in the first place.


 * Have other reliable sources commented on Retraction Watch's coverage? Has their coverage been documented as a significant item in Fernandez's career (including negatively)? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:25, 24 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Whilst Retraction Watch arguably counts as a reliable source for non-BLP articles, it is a self-published blog and as such is unsuitable as a BLP source. See WP:SPS and WP:BLPSPS. Rubiscous (talk) 16:15, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Content removal on "drug design" article by Jytdog on October 21, 2014
The description of a structure based selectivity filter discovered by Ariel Fernandez was added today in the "drug design" entry and later removed by Jytdog. The work is relevant to structure-based drug design and that is why it was incorporated to the drug design wiki entry. Should the AF articles be quoted instead of his book dealing with structure-based drug design? But I saw books by others quoted in that wiki article as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.28.240.166 (talk) 00:04, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

response by "ariel fernandez"
MAJOR EDITOR IS NOT ACQUAINTED TO SUBJECT - RESPONSE TO JAMES B WATSON

Dear James B Watson and Wikipedia audience,

This is Ariel Fernandez. It has been brought to my attention that a sign indicating an alleged connection between a major contributor to this article and myself, the subject, has been posted on my article. This is not correct, I am not aware of any such connection and I must request its immediate removal as it infringes BLP regulations. It is puzzling to me how you have made this inference, but it is simply not correct.

I have gone through the list of contributors to my article indicated in its history. I am not personally acquainted with any of them. I don´t know Jydog, James Watson (unless he is the double helix discoverer), Heidi Belkin (Hayde Belinky?) or any other person whose name is indicated in the history. I don´t understand how do you infer such connections or what you are trying to do. I recall having met Heidi way back on a legal matter.

While vastly incomplete, the article on me as it now stands seems fair, objective and accurate as far as I can see. It sems to be fairly well documented and seems to have been taken from verifiable sources including websites that I have edited myself.

I must ask you to please refrain from publishing such inferences. As far as I know, anybody is free to contribute to wikipedia provided the subject is notable, the info is accurate and well documented and the tone is fair and balanced.

Should you have further questions, I would be happy to discuss them. My personal mail is ariel@afinnovation.com

Feel free to contact me at your convenience. Ariel Fernandez, Ph. D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.28.74.127 (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I think (and please don't take this as authoritative, I did not add the tag) the inference is made from the fact that one of the major contributors is called Arifer, which looks like it might stand for Ariel Fernandez. Also, the pages here and here may be interesting for you to read (I highly recommend reading them). --Richard Yin (talk) 15:43, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Dear Richard Yin: I have NOT authorize and I don´t know any contributor with that alias. There are people with different vested interests. I simply have no control. All I am saying is that if you state that there is a connection you need to prove it under the standards of the law: Onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit.


 * It seems to me, first of all, that wording like "appears to have", "may require", etc seems to properly indicate that the tag shouldn't be taken as a statement of fact but as a "this is what we can tell so far, we might be wrong". Moreover, the idea that a contributor has a connection with the subject does not necessarily mean that the subject requested, authorized, or knows about the submission. I think I'm out of my depth here, help is appreciated. --Richard Yin (talk) 16:10, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * if you are ariel fernandez please see WP:BIOSELF. There are instructions there on how you should proceed.  There is nothing to be done on this page. Jytdog (talk) 18:36, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I have just entered the site WP:BIOSELF and it recommends to "post suggestions on the article talk page". That is exactly what I did! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.28.74.127 (talk) 19:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * There are various pieces of evidence suggesting that one or more editors connected to Ariel Fernandez have edited the article. The most direct evidence is that an editor who claims to be Ariel Fernandez has stated that his "team" has edited the article. It also looks very much as though that editor's claim to be Ariel Fernandez is likely to be valid, as he is clearly here with the sole purpose of trying to make Wikipedia's coverage of Ariel Fernandez more favourable. Of course, it is impossible to be certain, but there is at least as much reason to believe that editor's claims as there is to believe the claims of the anonymous IP editor who has posted here claiming to be Ariel Fernandez. It may be that one of them is Ariel Fernandez and the other isn't, or that neither of them is, or that they both are. We don't have magic pixie dust that will tell us for certain what the answer is, and we have to base our decisions on what seems most likely. For several reasons, it seems to me that most likely they are both Ariel Fernandez, so that the IP edits are evasion of the block on the account. It is only because I am giving the benefit of the doubt that I am not immediately blocking the IP address involved. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:16, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * JamesBWatson I agree that the IP is probably Ariel Fernandez and that the Ariel Fernandez probably = "Arifer" and probably = "Haylee Binklee".,  you are not saying anything that we can respond to on the level of this page, nor are you asking questions, and you have started to make statements referencing the law. The reference to a legal context is a conversation stopper and from my perspective definitely ends discussion on this page.  If you wish to pursue this further please use the other means described at WP:BIOSELF.  I will not be responding here further. Jytdog (talk) 19:26, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I have looked again at the editing of the account claiming to be Ariel Fernandez and the IP editor claiming to be him, and I have noticed similarities which I had not previously noticed. In addition, further editing by the IP editor since I posted the message above gives even more evidence that it is the same person. It now seems effectively certain that they are the same person, so I shall block the IP address after all. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:29, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Request for article removal
Dear James B Watson and Jytdog,

I have absolutely no interest in being featured in Wikipedia or being dragged into this sort of controversy. Please remove my article altogether.

 * I don't know if you ever read WP:COI which you have been referred to many times. It says "COI editing is strongly discouraged. It risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and groups being promoted (see Wikipedia is in the real world), and if it causes disruption to the encyclopedia, accounts may be blocked."  Everybody tried to warn you. But as I said, please pursue the other avenues at WP:BLPSELF.Jytdog (talk) 19:30, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Not fair play
Hmm. Jytdog, James Watson: You don´t listen to AF and block him? so he cannot defend himself? This is not fair, not what Wikipedia is supposed to be. And the logic is odd: Ariel is probably Heidi, Heidi is probably arifer? I suspect Ariel Fernandez is George Clooney, they kind of look alike... This kind of harassment must stop. A senior editor needs to look at this and listen to BOTH sides. Jumping to conclusions in this erratic way may hurt Wikipedia.

THE WIKIPEDIA MISSION IN JEOPARDY
James B Watson and “Jytdog” - By blocking contributors, refusing to hear what they say and attaching libellous tags you are making a travesty of Wikipedia and its mission. I know Heidi (identified as a major contributor to this article under alias Hayde Blinky), and judging from the Wikipedia picture, she doesn’t look at all like AF!! You can’t assume that everybody that writes about AF is either AF or a puppet of AF and block them. That’s not Wikipedia. This type of censorship is out, has been out for a long long time! I read the article on AF and it is pretty anemic. You talk about promoting AF, but all I see mentioned is employment, a book, papers and few accolades. Most notable people, including porn stars, get more thorough coverage. And there is nothing funny about this. I am sorry Jytdog, but I don’t think that your harassment of Heidi (I just got to read it) while hiding behind that name is funny. I really don’t. I see nothing funny about harassing Wikipedia contributors. 201.254.127.32 (talk) 13:11, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Liping Laura Meng

SLANDER, ABUSE OF POWER AND HARASSMENT
Wikipedia contributor “Jytdog” and Wikipedia editor “JamesBWatson” may be responsible of harassment, slander per se and abuse of privileges and rights. First, Jytdog and JamesBWatson falsely included me in a sockpuppetry accusation named “Arifer”. I have nothing to do with any contributor or contributors named “Arifer” and there is not a trace of evidence to the contrary. Second, both individuals did not even bother to read what I had to say in that regard, and after blocking me, they simply attached a slanderous tag to the Wikipedia page “Ariel Fernandez” (AF) falsely indicating or implying or suggesting sockpuppetry and conflict of interest. This false accusation, real or perceived, constitutes “slander per se” in the State of Texas where AF has his residence. As I said before and repeat now, my real name is NOT “Haydee Belinky” and I have no connection, personal or professional, with AF. I learned about AF and took interest in his work after I became acquainted with his consultancy work in a patent litigation case in 2011, where I volunteered an opinion outside the Court. An accusation of sock puppetry based on the fact that the subject and I live part of the time in Buenos Aires, a city of 15 million people, is ridiculous. I don’t even know if we ever overlap. I thought the subject and his work met the notability criteria demanded by Wikipedia to be included in its pages. I have every right to publish articles on the AF work subject to the Wikipedia standards and editing. If I chose to write only about AF, that is also my prerogative. The work of Ariel Fernandez has been reviewed in some major venues like: Nature: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110518/full/news.2011.294.html Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/complicated-protein-interactions-evolved-to-stave-off-mutations/ Nature Medicine: http://www.nature.com/nrd/journal/v7/n2/full/nrd2524.html Commissioned review by Harvard professor George Demetri: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2096446/ Chemistry World/Royal Society of Chemistry: http://www.rsc.org/images/ProteinProteinInteractions%20-%20A%20Sticky%20End_tcm18-205395.pdf and many others. As for the notability of Ariel Fernandez himself, it appears to be established in the Talk on his Wikipedia article. I simply was not able to find any regulation forbidding me to contribute with a neutral objective tone to Wikipedia by writing articles on a subject and his work that meet the notability criteria. The information I presented is thoroughly verifiable. There is no promotional intent in the articles contributed. I feel I may be a subject to harassment and abuse at the hands of Jytdog since I started contributing to Wikipedia. He rejected most of my entries for rather absurd reasons: books, professional papers or words like “pioneer” were arbitrarily banned and considered by Jytdog as “promotional”. In fact, they are quoted profusely in Wikipedia. In the end, everything I wrote, no matter how relevant to the subject matter, was considered promotional, as if I did not have the right to write about a single individual and his work. I feel Wikipedia may consider what prima facie appears to be a case of slander, abuse of power and harassment proceeding internally as appropriate and ex-oficio by elevation to the proper Civil Court.
