Did you know? (DYK)
I think that this fact may be worth listing in Wikipedia's Did you know?:


 * Did you know that
 * ...  before proposing a carbon credit emissions trading market similar to the Kyoto Protocol, Graciela Chichilnisky earned Ph.D.s in mathematics (1971) and economics (1976) without ever having studied as an undergraduate?

The last statement is supported by page 3 of the AJHE reprint (on her website), although I suspect that she moved after the 1966 coup and its assault on the university: "In 1968, after a [June 1966 K.W.]military coup shut down the University of Buenos Aires, she moved to the United States. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she was accepted by the graduate program in mathematics after just one year of prerequisites. She later transferred to the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1971 and another in economics in 1976." Thanks.

 * The DYK fact was accepted. Thanks to David Eppstein and Volunteer Marek and all other editors for their help. Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 05:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
At an UnDR on Commons today, RobNYC tells us "I work directly for Graciela Chichilnisky". Since that is not disclosed on his user page, he appears to be in significant violation of WP policy on Conflict of Interest. .     Jim. .  (Jameslwoodward)   (talk to me) 17:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Date of birth
This seems to be in about 1948. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.131.222 (talk) 11:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Graciela's own web-site is oddly silent about her date of birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.131.222 (talk) 11:56, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

COI
Several major contributors seem to have a conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.131.222 (talk) 11:55, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * A picture of a doctoral advisor, Debreu, would not normally appear in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.131.222 (talk) 12:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no caption. He turns out to be Debreu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.131.222 (talk) 12:17, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The caption appears to have been in an earlier version of the article. In any case, it is not usually considered appropriate content, and I have removed it.
 * I have also made some preliminary copy-edits for clarity.
 * Additionally, I have removed some unsourced personal material. Even if sourced, we would not normally include this in a bio where it is not directly pertinent to notability.
 * I am quite concerned about the use of the Sun,a newspaper with a known political bias relevant to her work, as a source for possibly controversial BLP. I am also a little concerned about the apparent cherry-icked wording from the Boston Globe, a general newspaper, about the substance of a scientific dispute, especially because the newspaper refers it to unspectfied "most experts".
 * There seems to be some controversy about the results of the lawsuits. The most reliable source here, the article in the Chronicle of Higher Education dates from 2003, which may be a date bearlier than the formal resolution of the case. The Globe dates from even earlier, 1996--apparently a considerably earlier stage of the dispute. I think this section must be rewritten, as it seems neither complete nor consistent.  But it would be advisable to find later sources that may be more specific.  DGG ( talk ) 02:38, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Poorly Sourced
The information contained in the Litigation section is Contentious Erroneous and Poorly Sourced.. Additionally, information within it is contradictory, and according to Wikipedia policy should be removed immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobNYC (talk • contribs) 13:56, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It is properly sourced to major newspapers, and any contentiousness comes from the subject herself. If there are specific inaccuracies in how we report what the newspapers say, please detail them. If your and Chichilnisky's opinions on what happened differ from how the newspapers report that it happened, we can only go on what appears in the published sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:07, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
