Talk:Iddris Sandu

Tone of article
This article is ridiculously hagiographic. After reading the whole thing it is not exactly clear how he is notable. It needs to focus more of facts and how he interacts his society and less on just saying how brilliant he is. Ashmoo (talk) 11:02, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Potential fabrications
Many of the statements on this page are currently being tested and discussed, and they appear to be fabricated. See https://twitter.com/TheLexTimes/status/1171136975677480960 for a thread that includes: no evidence of a Presidential Scholar award, an invalid patent number given, as well as nobody who can confirm that Iddris has worked at any of the claimed companies.

Several edits that have added details about the now-retracted Forbes article and Sandu’s own corrections have been removed by anonymous IP-based editors. It’s too much drama for my taste but a more seasoned Wikipedian might want to step in. Tmcw (talk) 17:28, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Looks like several accounts - Wmeclientserv and Wewerewildandfree were registered for the express purpose of keeping the the retractions out of this post, and before that a few edits from a Los-Angeles area based IP were doing the same. This slow-motion edit war isn't crossing the three revert rule boundary out of sheer slowness, but it has seen six suspicious edits to keep Iddris's point of view clear and remove cited information.
