Edits for draft article about Prof. J. Michael Rotter
[edit]Good afternoon Snowman304. I have added as many secondary sources as are available to the draft article on Prof. Michael Rotter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Michael_Rotter). It is not a reasonable comment to dismiss Prof. Rotter's accomplishments by saying that the text 'reads like a CV' - there are other accepted Wikipedia articles which read even more like CVs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Spencer and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teng_Jin-guang) and have even shorter reference lists. The accomplishments are real, certainly noteworthy and in my view documented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AJSadowski (talk • contribs) 18:05, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
Yeshayahu Folman
[edit]Hello @Snowman304, You have declined my draft and that is following me removing all asked. Please point me to what isnt sourced...? Also, why decline and not ask for changes? I mean, he is worthy and it seems unfair. Thank you, Shahar Navon new (talk) 08:44, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Shahar Navon new It's because basic things like his birthday (as one example) don't have citations. Another editor declined the article in June and there are still citation issues. I agree that he probably should have an article. But this version isn't ready yet. Snowman304|talk 12:55, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! can you tell me what should be removed? since Yeshayahu was born in 1934, i cant think of a source for that... I searched many articles and i didnt see sources for DOB so if you can point me to what should be removed, I will do it and resubmit. Thank you! Shahar Navon new (talk) 15:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Have you been able to find an obituary? Do any of the sources mention an age? If we don't have an exact date or even year, there's Template:Birth based on age as of date. So if you can find something that says he died at 88 in 2022, you could do {{Birth based on age at death|88|2022}} and get
1933 or 1934. You could then use Template:Death date and given age with that same source. - Again, this is only one fact in the article that still needs citation. Snowman304|talk 19:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Snowman304 Hello, yes I have the death certificate but its a PDF file, also I dont think it's should be on the net, can I maybe send it to you to see?
- As for his death, there are sources such as https://kenes-media.com/%d7%94%d7%90%d7%99%d7%a9-%d7%a9%d7%a9%d7%99%d7%a0%d7%94-%d7%90%d7%aa-%d7%94%d7%9e%d7%93%d7%93-%d7%9c%d7%97%d7%9c%d7%95%d7%a7%d7%aa-%d7%9e%d7%a2%d7%a0%d7%a7%d7%99-%d7%9e%d7%97%d7%a7%d7%a8/ saying "Professor Isaiah Pullman died in the first week of this month and is 88 years old." is that enough?

- Hi @Snowman304, i'm assuming you didnt get around to check so I thought it's a good idea to pop this back... please have a look at my previous comment. Thanks! Shahar Navon new (talk) 13:20, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I am so sorry but I dont understand how to do what you wrote... should i just resubmit or what should I do now? Shahar Navon new (talk) 13:25, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

I have made changes to the article and requested clarification. In my view, the original rejection was incorrect, as the article is representative in style, content and public interest of very many wikipedia articles out there. I have yet to hear back from 'Snowman' or anyone else on the matter, or on the updated article.
