Talk:Edward M. Hundert

Promotional material removed
The content of Edward Hundert's previous Wikipedia entry was directly copied and pasted from his official faculty page and other promotional venues without editing. As a result, most of the material was subjective/unverifiable, not sourced, incorrect, or trivial and irrelevant. I have removed all such material from the page and reorganized the remaining material. I'll provide examples for each of these categories of material which are unsuitable for Wikipedia. It is not a complete listing of all removed material, but I would be happy to provide a justification for any items not on this list by request.
 * subjective
 * "internationally known" -- What does this mean and how can it be verified? Is anyone who is known by people in multiple countries internationally known?
 * "large new medical research building", "large investments were made in the undergraduate program" -- Large relative to what? Are typical university investments and medical research buildings small?


 * not sourced
 * "increased both its sponsored research and technology transfer productivity" -- This statement is vague enough that a source should be included. How is "technology transfer productivity" measured and what authority verified that it increased?
 * A record for the awards of the "Sanger Prize" and "Batterby Prize" need to be provided (see below).


 * incorrect
 * "Edward Hundert was president of Case Western Reserve University from 2002 to 2006. During that time, large investments were made in the undergraduate program, the academic medical center, and several research centers of excellence, and almost every school of the university engaged in curricular innovation. The combination of a new undergraduate curriculum and the construction of 7 new residential houses and a new athletic complex helped undergraduate applications and enrollments to nearly double during that period." -- According to this CWRU report head count, no enrollment came even close to doubling during Hundert's tenure.  Including such a false statement in his Wikipedia entry is troubling.


 * trivial and irrelevant
 * "He led the student and faculty effort to revise the school’s due process guidelines and conducted empirical research on the moral and professional development of medical students and residents (see Academic Medicine 1996; 71:624-628 for his keynote address at the AAMC’s National Conference on Students’ and Residents’ Ethical and Professional Development). Throughout his tenure, he also taught Harvard’s course on Medical Ethics as well as courses in doctor-patient communication and psychiatry." -- The course schedule and student-teacher relationship for a faculty member is not notable.
 * The "Sanger Prize" and "Batterby Prize" do not seem to have any renown outside the previous Hundert article. In fact searches for "sanger prize harvard", "batterby prize oxford", "sanger prize", and "batterby prize" yield no results other than derivatives of Hundert's previous Wikipedia page.

Effort to provide balanced, up-to-date article
The back and forth on this entry is concerning, with “A Friendly Soul” on the one side adding inappropriately promotional material and “Galaga 1902” on the other side repeatedly removing appropriate elements of the entry. In the most recent example, A Friendly Soul 2 updated Dr. Hundert’s new role that was announced by Harvard, but added that he is an “award-winning” educator and copied from that announcement various honors and awards that Galaga 1902 had previously researched and found unsupported for inclusion in Wikipedia. But in the latest edit, Galaga 1902 has removed even the material he or she had taken pains to justify for inclusion in previous discussion, and also removed such elements as Dr. Hundert’s degree from Oxford, while leaving in such details he had previously inserted as which faculty member at CWRU proposed and what the vote tallies were in the 2006 votes of no confidence there (all the details of which are found in the reference links). In order to present this entry in the standards expected by the editors of Wikipedia, I have reviewed all entries from the beginning, researched all existing and other links, and rewritten the entry from scratch so that it is both balanced and up-to-date.
