Feinberg
I see you are working primarily of updating the article on Feinberg School of Medicine; these updates are very welcome, and I have marked some additional places where data may need updating or specifying a year, or provision of a reference. Please be aware that while the School's own publications are good sources for routine information, anything that represents a judgment of quality or an opinion must be sourced from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.

One of the sections you added was on the Prosthetics and Orthotics program. Is there some reason why this program is especially distinguished, in which case outside references to that fact are needed, or are you planning to do such sections for all the other programs?

I've also taken the occasion to remove some promotional fluff from the article. Adjectives of praise or quantity, in particular, are known around here as WP:Peacock words, and are taken to indicate promotional writing. I'm aware you did not introduce most of them, but perhaps you can help remove them. Some of the words you might look for that usually do not add substance are "often" "consistently",

In adding people to the list of distinguished graduates, the standard is that each must have a Wikipedia article, or clearly qualify for a Wikipedia articles under WP:BIO or WP:PROF. Almost all there without articles probably do qualify for them, and there would be a priority in writing the articles. For the ones that do have articles, not much description is needed on the list.

If you can get around to it, it would be good to also add a list of those faculty who have articles in Wikipedia.  DGG ( talk ) 21:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I responded on DGG's page but also wanted to make a note here that I am updating Feinberg the page slowly and in bursts. There is a lot of information to be researched/referenced, and heavy copy editing needed. Thanks for all the feedback. Chicrunner79 (talk) 23:17, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
The most important thing is to be bold. If you think that what you are doing seems right then go ahead. If someone disagrees, don't take it personally, use that as a learning experience. Everyone is equal here, just because someone has been around for a long time doesn't mean that they are automatically right. If someone disagrees they should point to a policy or guideline which will help you avoid problems in the future. If they don't then ask them for more information on their talk page. Good luck and happy editing.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 22:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

FYI in response to the above on the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of NU I had started that draft a while ago but ran out of time to work on it. I still do think it could be a worthwhile Wikipedia entry given that it's an NCI-funded/designated comprehensive cancer center, and a few other similar centers have good content --- but it was taking longer than anticipated to find all the sources I wanted to include and I wasn't convinced the information was very thorough. I think I'm better off writing about scientists and medical schools. Apologies for not taking it down myself. I had hoped it would turn out better than what I had. Next time I'll write the article offline before posting - sorry for taking up that space! Chicrunner79 (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2017 (UTC) PS. I deleted one of the HasteurBot posts from here since it was the same one as the 6-month warning, hope that is OK!

Speedy deletion nomination of Nemmers Prize in Medical Science
Hello Chicrunner79,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nemmers Prize in Medical Science for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
