Michael Wehmeyer
Hello, and thank you for your work on the Michael Wehmeyer article! That page was certainly in need of an update. I've taken the liberty of organising it into sections and rewording it a bit. Some of that rewording was necessary due to our rules about close paraphrasing - we aren't allowed to copy substantial portions of source documents (in this case, Wehmeyer's KU bio) for copyright reasons. Also, I've added some "citation needed" and "failed verification" tags. Citations in Wikipedia work a little differently from academic ones, in that there's no room for vagueness. Whatever you say in the article needs to be directly backed up by a statement in the cited source, so it's not enough to just link to a website's main page and call it done. (See the verifiability policy for the gory details.) Also, I removed the Google Scholar link, as it doesn't count as a "reliable source" per Wikipedia's guidelines. Let me know if you have any questions about any of this, and I'll be happy to answer. Best — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 07:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
