Dear experienced Wiki editors, please help me improve my article. I have added the references to sources, external links, and references to other wiki articles. Also, as the article was an orphan, I activated the link to my article from the wiki article Humboldt Prize. Could you please review the new version of the article and advise on further improvements, if necessary? Thank you! LAtoLI (talk) 11:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All of the biographical information, including awards, needs inline citations. Sorry, I had to draftify for this reason, since there's no question that Kharzeev is notable. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:57, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Somehow, this help page popped up as a new help request today and I treated it as if it were a newly created article with problems and sent it to draftspace. I later saw that this article had been sitting around in this unacceptable state for years. So I reduced it to a stub, retaining the not-entirely-satisfactory references and the information that they could sustain, and have now moved it back to article space. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 04:17, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

APS Fellows[edit]

@Lopifalko: In this edit, which I realize was assisted by a script, the search string was removed from the URL. While I agree that it is not desirable to include search strings in URLs on Wikipedia references, what the edit did was leave a pointer to the front end of a database which, all by itself, no longer supports the fact it was being cited for. That's an even more undesirable result, which is why I had left the original contributor's version of the URL in place.

I looked, but did not find, another way to substantiate that a person is an APS Fellow, ideally to some sort of press coverage from 2006 where it was announced, or failing that, to some more direct URL on the APS site.

I propose to add the search string back to the URL, or some version of it; all of the rest of your changes seem just dandy. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 17:48, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
