Serge Ferleger
Thank you for your contributions: I note that they seem to be mainly about the life and work of this person. Firstly let me suggest that you register for an account to make it easier for other editors to communicate with you -- and if you already have, then please log in and use it to avoid confusion. Secondly, let me bring to your attention the Conflict of interest guidelines in case you have any connection with the subject. Thirdly, let me comment on the sources you just added. You reference the assertion "In 2000, Serge Ferleger left the academic community for Renaissance Technologies" to a paper published in 2001 in which his address is given as that company. This is what we call original research, in other words, you are deducing from the address that he was working for the company, which may well be but is not necessarily true, and further that he started in 2000, which cannot be deduced at all and is at best a guess. What is required is an independent reliable source that is authoritative and makes the statement clearly without the need to make elaborate deductions or guesses. This is especially important under Biographies of living persons policy which is very strict. Deltahedron (talk) 15:39, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
