Talk:The Polymath

Paid editing declaration
This draft has been put into AFC because it was created while I was paid by Waqas Ahmed for a project to improve Wikipedia articles related to cognitive flexibility and polymathy. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:04, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit request
The third sentence of the Background section, "He is also Artistic Director of the Khalili Collections." is no longer true. He is the former Artistic Director of the Khalili Collections and the current Executive Director of the Khalili Foundation. (see the Team section of the ref; see also his ArtUK profile) Please could somebody change the sentence.
 * Update 2023-06-05: this is taking a very long time and this is a simple factual change, I've gone ahead and made it myself. Please discuss on this talk page if there are any objections. MartinPoulter (talk) 10:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Waqas Ahmed has been described by multiple publications as a "renaissance man". See 1) the title of the New Arab article that is reference number 7 in the current version of the article. 2) 'In many ways, Waqas Ahmed and Martin Kemp [...] share the sort of omnivorous intellectual appetite that qualifies them, like their subject, as “Renaissance men.”' in ArtNet. 3) "Ahmed is something of a renaissance man himself" Men's Health. To the first sentence of the Background section "The author Waqas Ahmed..." could we add " who has been described as a Renaissance man"?

 * DONE - Ref. 3 could not be found, but the others were sufficient to make the edit. Ddjanna (talk) 10:12, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
