Talk:Scott V. Edwards

Wikipedia page on Scott V. Edwards
I declare a conflict of interest - the article is about me.

I would like the author(s) of this article to remove or modify the phrase "relatively affluent", as it pertains to Riverdale NY. This could result in a negative impression of me, plus, it has no basis in fact. In truth Riverdale, at the time as now, was heterogeneous in its neighborhoods; there was everything from brick apartment buildings to large mansions. It's not clear why that descriptor of Riverdale is inserted there and why the issue of affluence has any bearing on the article. Even if it were true, it's not clear why evaluation of scientists' neighborhoods is important. As written, it might suggest that an affluent upbringing is critical to becoming a scientist, a hypothesis that I reject. Thank you for considering this request.

 * Sure, sounds reasonable. IIRC the matter came up in a source in an apparent attempt to avoid stereotypes of the Bronx. Opabinia regalis (talk) 06:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
