Hello, I'm Muhandes. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Fellow have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Purpose of citations
Hi there. Regarding this partial revert, the purpose of citations is not to provide information, it is to verify. The claim the sentence made is These are internationally recognized R&D leaders who are among the smartest individuals in the world in their respective fields. I don't see why we need eleven sources just to verify this simple (and some will say trivial) claim. This may be considered an overcitation. I left the first two sources, and if you think one of the other nine is more appropriate I think you should replace it, but lets keep it at one or two sources. --Muhandes (talk) 16:49, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I think because they are from very-very different fields. Currently, the article implies pretty much computer industry, but it is not so. Some are in Physics, others in Climate Science, and others in Medicine. So to understand the meaning of industry fellow correctly, one needs some notion of how broad the coverage is. I am not going back and forth reversing it :))) But just thought to explain my reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.82.105.200 (talk) 17:03, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Citations should support the text, not decorate it. Currently, the text is quite poorly supported by the sources, and more random sources will not improve that. Find out what facts you can support with the sources, and add those, with the sources as verification. --Muhandes (talk) 21:06, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
