Talk:Nathalie Cely

"doctoral degree candidate"
This is odd wording.. a PhD candidate is someone who's finished their coursework and is writing a thesis. The next sentence gives the title of her thesis (AllGov.com calls it a doctoral "project").. so did she graduate or not? Saying she was a "candidate" seems to suggest she never finished, but dances around the issue entirely. Hairhorn (talk) 01:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Both the sources I looked at described her as a doctoral candidate, but do not indicate that she graduated. So I think it should be fine to describe it in the same manner as those sources. Maybe she began her thesis but never finished, or never had a chance to defend.  It's not clear.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numera astra (talk • contribs) 01:26, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * If she didn't finish, the entry should say so; anything else is obfuscation. Hairhorn (talk) 02:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Well, the sources are ambiguous on that point. Even though they seem to indicate that she didn't finish, they don't explicitly state that, so I don't know if we should extrapolate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Numera astra (talk • contribs) 16:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I've tried to pare down the awkward language without extrapolating. Hairhorn (talk) 19:24, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Ok, that looks agreeable to me. Numera astra (talk) 14:21, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Change infobox?
I looked at the article with Infobox Political post; the infobox seems pretty bare. I suggest switching to Infobox ambassador so that more information can be added in the personal data section. It will provide a better snapshot of Nathalie Cely. Comments? DocTree (ʞlɐʇ · cont) Join WER 03:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Seems like a fine idea (by the way, thanks for all your help!) Numera astra (talk) 14:23, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
