source with material for article
This source has a lot of material that needs to be inserted into the article: books where he is co-author, fellowships, assignments, etc. --Enric Naval (talk) 14:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Enric Naval, I updated authorship, fellowships, awards, etc last night. The link you inserted is no longer valid, but there are plenty of updated ones on the web that provide the information you listed and were updated in his page last night. A user by the name of Whispering undid my revisions, but I'll be reverting it again soon—just waiting to hear reverted the info. It doesn't violate the good faith claim he submitted, so awaiting his explanation. Globalhumanist (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Globalhumanist


 * Globalhumanist. It was likely reverted because there are whole paragraphs with no sources, for example under "Awards" section. I advice finding sources or the awards.


 * Examples of good sources would be official lists of awardees, news items issued by the institutions that granted the award, news items from newspapers belonging to the institution, news items from newspapers, etc.


 * Sources of low quality would be things written by the awardee himself (because wikipedia prefers sources that are as independent from the author as possible), news items from sources that don't check sources and simply repeat what is told to them, etc. Press releases are usually low quality, unless they are issued by the institution that grants the award. If the awardee writes a list of his awards and it's published by someone else, then it depends. For example this paper published in Kellogs' website is likely to be taken as a good source, as it's unlikely that Kellogs allowed unaccuracies to be published on their own website.


 * I suggest incorporating in the article, for example: source for Ford, source for Newark, source for Kellog visiting fellow in Fall 1997. --Enric Naval (talk) 10:16, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
