2. In INTRO paragraph: (a) Areas of expertise 10-15 years out of date; (b) Current place of employment is 1.5 years out of date; (c) former associate dean missing (UMD) and "the former president" needs to be "former present" as she is not the only one. Specifically, here are the requested changes, with significant citation updates:

REPLACE: Bonnie Jean Dorr is an American computer scientist specializing in natural language processing and machine translation.

WITH:   Bonnie Jean Dorr is an American computer scientist specializing in natural language processing, machine translation, automatic summarization, social computing, and explainable artificial intelligence.

INSERT HERE: She is a professor and director of the Natural Language Processing Research Laboratory in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.

WITH:   She is professor emerita of computer science and linguistics and former dean at the University of Maryland, College Park, former associate director at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition,, and former president of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

3. Under EDUCATION AND CAREER: (a) Although the undergraduate (BA) and PhD (MIT) are correct, her S.M. degree (MIT) is omitted; (b) Some wikipedia links and citations are missing; (c) Systematicity fixes needed for UMD refs (dorr-umd-cs, dorr-umd-umiacs); (d) Her move to UF is missing. Specifically, here are the requested changes, with significant citation updates:

REPLACE: Dorr is a graduate of Boston University, and earned a Ph.D. in 1990 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her dissertation, Lexical Conceptual Structure and Machine Translation, was supervised by Robert C. Berwick.

WITH:   Dorr is a graduate of Boston University, and earned both a Master's (1986) and a Ph.D. (1990) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her dissertation, Lexical Conceptual Structure and Machine Translation, was supervised by Robert C. Berwick.

REPLACE: Dorr joined the University of Maryland faculty in 1992. At Maryland, she became the founding co-director of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Laboratory, and associate dean of the university's College of Computer Math and Natural Sciences. She has also worked as a program director at DARPA beginning in 2011 while on leave from Maryland. She joined the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in 2014.

WITH:   Dorr joined the University of Maryland faculty in 1992. At Maryland, she became the founding co-director of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Laboratory, and associate dean of the university's College of Computer, Math, and Natural Sciences (formerly College of Computer, Math, and Physical Sciences). She has also worked as a program director at DARPA beginning in 2011 while on leave from Maryland. She joined the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in 2014.

ADD: In January, 2021, she joined the University of Florida as a professor, where she founded and now serves as director of the Natural Language Processing Research Laboratory.

4. UNDER BOOK: Update with citations to further back up the claim regarding the later shift to data-driven approaches (adding large language models):

REPLACE: ... and some of Dorr's own highly-cited later work instead focuses on data-driven approaches to machine translation.

WITH: ...and some of Dorr's own highly-cited later work instead focuses on data-driven approaches to machine translation. and prioritization of explainability in the face of the recent push for large language models (e.g., ChatGPT).

5. UNDER RECOGNITION: (a) Use systematic citation style for UMD; (b) Her ACM Fellow award is missing. Specifically, requested change are:

REPLACE: Dorr was president of the Association for Computational Linguistics for 2008.

REPLACE: In 2016 she was elected as a Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

WITH:   In 2016 she was elected as a Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics and in 2021 she was elected Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.

6. CONTRIBUTIONS: Consistent with peers at this stage of career in the field of NLP (at 35+ years), or even earlier (e.g., see Emily M. Bender), a Contributions section is not uncommon. Requested addition is the following (very abridged) single, 3-part sentence, pending independent review and adjustments for any perceived bias. I have included relevant citations.

Dorr's contributions to science and engineering span decades, with the following notable examples: (a) Development of a systematic approach that addresses cross-language divergences, i.e., language distinctions beyond grammar and lexicon for languages such as English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, and Hindi, in support of universal translation (1990 through 2016); (b) Semantically-inspired analysis for event detection, including social engineering active defense and social computing for detecting influence campaigns via private mental states (2020-present); and (c) Explainable AI and NLP in the age of ChatGPT (2022-present).

7. UNDER REFERENCES: References are missing and, in some cases, are not systematically structured. Requested changes below tie into all changes above:

NOTE: Retain and three citations under. (These do not show up in the wikipedia references, as I'm requiring no changes to the citing text, but they will show up in the final product. Note that [8] will go away as it appears in text that I'm requesting for it to be removed in item 2 above.]

 * Thank you. Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 16:07, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello David, please (again) forgive my lack of wiki editing experience here. On June 2, 2023, lightoil (at the end of my talk page) said all the changes have been reviewed and I can go ahead and edit. I'm triple checking with you that I now have the green light on all edits on this talk page. (I had replied to lightoil w/ clarification request on June 2, 2023; then the month drifted by, primarily due to my own travel. So am now coming back to this. Now is a good time window for me to bring this to a conclusion. (This project began about 6 weeks ago.) Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 12:56, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello @David notMD You and @Lightoil did a great job of mentoring me, and I double-checked that all edits were approved, so went ahead and finalized the Bonnie_Dorr page. As a side effect, the hope is that this will also correct some ChatGPT errors in the future, e.g., incorrect references to degrees and/or titles/positions. Thanks very much for your patience and assistance. Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 23:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

10. Missing category:

ADD: "Category:university_of_florida_faculty|University of Florida faculty"

AND RELATEDLY: Consider adding Bonnie Dorr under "Professors and faculty" (scroll down to "D") on the following wiki-page: "university_of_Florida_faculty" Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Lightoil (talk) 02:21, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Lightoil. Just confirming that this is addressed to me. (Happy to make those changes, but just double-checking that this is what you intended. :-) ) Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 16:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

 * @Lightoiland @David notMDI edited and finalized the Bonnie_Dorr page--took me a half day. However, all edits seem to have disappeared (again) as of today.  I followed the direction above, i.e., "go ahead: I have reviewed...suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes" and also the notification at the top: "An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes." Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you. Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 02:21, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Two Editing requests; full disclosure - COI, requires independent review for bias
1. Under Authority Control, suggest the following edit:

Add List_of_fellows_of_the_Association_for_Computing_Machinery (where Dorr's name is already listed, with a pointer back to this page)

2. Correct this typo: 2021 should be 2022 under Academic career for the sentence "In January 2022, she joined ..."

Note: 2022 (not 2021) is attested in the two citations [3] and [1] that already exist under "References". Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 02:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlpsocialcyber (talk • contribs) 22:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅, See above. Pabsoluterince (talk) 00:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for correcting 2021 to 2022 (request #2). Regarding request #1, the banner above states that edit requests do not include wikidata, but this request refers to a Wikipedia page, not wikidata. The link requested in #2 above (under authority control) is: List of fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery Nlpsocialcyber (talk) 10:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The list of links generated in the authority control banner is automatic, derived from data on Wikidata, and only includes a limited set of possible links. We cannot add a link to List of fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery to the authority control banner, because that is not one of the links that this banner generates. It is not something that can be done by editing the article on Bonnie Dorr. It is only something that could be done by changing the banner globally, for all articles that use it, and it will not happen because List of fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery is not part of any authority control process. —David Eppstein (talk) 13:34, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
