Talk:Kiki Sanford

Untitled
I'd like to question the notability of this article. Is a single award considered "significant coverage?" Adding notability tag pending further analysis by someone who cares. :-) McKorn (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, of course that a single award isn't, but she's had an interview in TVWeek, a real magazine. Her radio program has at least 20,000 listeners and has been going for almost a decade.  It also had a local TV news story which I cited in its article.  So I give her and her show a pass.  Diderot&#39;s dreams (talk) 04:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite
Just a heads up that I have completed a rewrite of the article. The new version retains all of the valuable information of the previous version, plus more details and basic clean up. With the cancellation of a couple of her shows, Dr. Kiki's career is bound to have many changes and new developments in the coming months, but as of right now, everything in the rewrite should be up to date.Dustinlull (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Updating
I've begun work updating this that can be found at Draft:Kiki Sanford. Jerod Lycett (talk) 07:18, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Scientist vs science communicator
I was just comparing how we write about male vs female scientists in the public eye and I think there is a problem that should be addressed. In the first sentence of this article we refer to her solely as "an American science communicator". We can compare this to, for example, Neil deGrasse Tyson who "is an American astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator." Or BIll Nye, who isn't actually a PhD scientist, who we refer to as "an American science educator, television presenter, and mechanical engineer." (That is to say, we include his professional qualification in that first sentence.)

I haven't done a comprehensive study of this issue, but thought I'd raise it here in case anyone wants to reflect on it further. I'll edit this page to make it stronger.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * , I've not seen it from the view of generalizing male versus female scientists, but do agree that when it comes to lady biographies, there seems to be an inherent bent towards sexist statements (though well referenced) and downplaying professional achievements. The issue would have to be addressed at an MoS level I guess. Lourdes  15:05, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
