AfC notification: Draft:Richard Matzner has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Richard Matzner. Thanks! StarryGrandma (talk) 19:11, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comment--- I appreciate the guidance as I am new to contributing to wikipedia. I want to improve the article, as you suggest, but is there a particular section that is more offensive, or just a few words here and there throughout? Perhaps I did not sufficiently de-bias in paraphrasing from the various sources, but I am a bit confused as to how these sources are less independent than what is typically found on scientists who are not conventionally famous (though have contributed important work). I did not avoid any references, in fact, I used everything reasonable I could find. I am grateful for the reference you found that I missed however--- are you suggesting I use this in addition, or rather replace this with some particular part that you do not think is from an appropriate source? Sorry to ask for more detail, but I acknowledge and appreciate guidance, and I don't want to misinterpret what you have said. Dosidoremi (talk) 00:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Almost no one who starts editing here has ever written for an encyclopedia before or knows what an encyclopedia article about a currently living person should look like. All the sources you have, except for papers he has written, are written as public-relations style profiles. Faculty profiles at universities are written by the PR departments these days and the same for award society profiles. So its not surprising that just taking the material directly ends up sounding like them. For one way to approach writing an article see User:StarryGrandma/Writing an article about a professor or researcher.The requirements he must meet (at least one of) are given by WP:NPROF. The article needs to be a narrative about what he did and how he developed as a researcher in chronological order, not just a list of accomplishments of varying degrees of importance. Focus on the physics that he did, since his impact on his fields is the reason for there being an article about him. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:06, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've written/edited my fair share of glossary-type resources, but you're right that they've never been about people! I'm focused more on the science/math/philosophy/history content in general. I will try to amend the language to make the verbs more bland-- less like the ones a PR person might use. To be honest, this is a recalibration since I thought I was doing that to some degree, but this goes to your point of the pervasiveness of this kind of language, to include Wikipedia. So I thank you for your feedback and resource links. However, I think the characterization of resources here is a bit unfair, and you are overlooking several that are neither profiles nor papers where the subject is an author-- for example, the Nobel Prize resources. In fact those made me realize this part of history wasn't sufficiently documented here. The subject and the BBH Grand Challenge Alliance, which I also created a page for and which Thorne spends a decent amount of time talking about in his speech/paper, have certainly been of sufficient impact based on my understanding of WP:NPROF. I think its also notable that a scientist/professor who did serious research also spent a fair amount of their career in public service. This is unfortunately not so common, thus I hope you are suggesting to just re-write/paraphrase that section, rather than remove it? I'm afraid I press further upon your generous guidance, but again, I don't want to misinterpret it. I greatly appreciate your review, which is helping me learn to be better here.
