Talk:Tamara G. Kolda

One inaccuracies + updates in page
A few corrections which I cannot make due to Wikipedia editor guidelines:

 * Hi Mathyogi3, and thank you for the note. I have changed Kolda's name as you requested, because as you noted, there are no reliable sources calling her "Tamara L. Gibson Kolda." I have also noted that her associate editorships for two journals have ended. As for your remaining requests, you need to disclose whether you are being paid for your edits and if applicable, who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship. Until then, the remaining parts of this edit request cannot be processed. Best, Altamel (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There is definitely a reliable source calling her Tamara Gibson Kolda: it is the name she used in her dissertation and the name by which she is listed in []. The convention here, by the way, is to use a common variation of the name (the one used professionally or personally) as the actual title of the article, but to use as complete a name as can be reliably sourced in the first sentence of the article. Although a possible conflict of interest may be somewhat relevant, I think we should take these suggestions on their merits rather than assuming they must be bad because of the COI. In any case, my opinion is that associate editorships and section editorships should not be listed (they are too routine a part of most academics' cvs, and a Wikipedia article is not a cv) but that being the founding editor-in-chief of a journal for a major academic society (SIAM) is certainly significant enough that it should be listed. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:30, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

--Thanks for the help, Altamel! Per your question, these journals do not pay for editing and everything is on a professional service volunteer basis. Mathyogi3 (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

--Hi David Eppstein. I agree regarding your comment on the name: "Tamara Gibson Kolda" in the first sentence is good, only the "L." was a problem. I defer to the judgement and standards of the community on journal editoriships. Thanks for the assistance. Mathyogi3 (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
