Talk:Martin Banwell

Untitled
I uploaded this image provided by the Royal Society of New Zealand. As they are a charity and not a commercial organisation, I believe I can use it for this article. However, I have tagged the image incorrectly. Can someone please put a fair use tag on the image? regards Tim.Boyle 14:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Why - prod tag
Full professors are notable, and the remedy for an incorrectly written article is to rewrite it. There was already a wikify tag, and that is all that is necessary. I have begun wikifying it. DGG 22:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the assumption that all full professors are notable. What has he done that has had a major impact on the field of biochemistry? —Angr 09:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

resume tag
I do not understand why this page has a resume tag? The page reads like a synopsis of the guys career and then some resume 'like' info. I hardly reads like a resume. I'll watch this page and if nobody objects i'll remove the tag in a few days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samneric (talk • contribs) 15:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it does read like a resume, so please leave the clean-up tag in place until such time as the article has been properly clean-up. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Not really, except maybe the editorial boards, publications and research interests could be moved into paragraph form. I'm unsure as to the guidelines. I'll have a look at the BLP link in the tag when i have more time and rewrite those bits. I have been reading the spectroscopy text by Banwell and McCash as extra reading for my A levels. Interesting chap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samneric (talk • contribs) 21:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually I have the wrong Banwell! My spectroscopy text is by Colin Banwell, not Martin Banwell. I might work on that one tonight. Samneric (talk) 11:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Why has the resume tag been added back without discussion here on the talk page. Simply tagging something doesn't improve the article or help inexperienced editors improve th earticle. Please make constructive edits. I'm not really fussed on this guy anymore as its not the guy I'm interested in anyway. Samneric (talk) 11:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Because it still reads like a resume. FYI, I was adding a ref to his CV while you posted this. Cheers, Jack Merridew 12:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I see how you can add references like that now. I might dig around online and add some more this afternoon (provided I can find them). I have a study break later and I'm sick of my calculus text. Samneric (talk) 12:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * See the second invocation of the CV ref; it could probably be added to other statements, too. One would have to review both to see just what the CV asserts. There is also the official page link in the externs section. Cheers, Jack Merridew 12:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

article issues
I requested an assessment from WikiProject Biography/Assessment; this article has been tagged as a 'stub' and the assessor noted the following issues in the edit summary; This are all valid issues and should be addressed. Cheers Jack Merridew 09:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * lacks credible refs
 * links even to existing articles don't function
 * most of article in list form, like a resumé
 * external link malfunction
 * notability/vanity issue
 * image source unknown


 * I've tagged the image as possibly unfree; there is a history…
 * A possible replacement image is http://rsc.anu.edu.au/research/Images/banwell2004.jpg from his official page at http://rsc.anu.edu.au/research/banwell.php
