Citing different sources

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [See below]

Hello, I would like to cite more secondary/tertiary sources for this article.

1. Source for his educational background: https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2018/07/05/ceo-eric-verdin-buck-institute-pharma.html
2. Source for his affiliation with UCSF: https://www.northbaybusinessjournal.com/northbay/marincounty/6482105-181/buck-institute-aging-research-biotech-novato
3. Source for HDACs: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3970420/
4. Source for being highly cited: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SKFD2LcAAAAJ&hl=en. We will need to actually change the sentence into: "He is a highly cited scientist with h-index of 103 and has been recognized for his research with a Glenn Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging and a senior scholarship from the Ellison Medical Foundation."
5. Source for the number of patents: https://patents.justia.com/inventor/eric-verdin
6. Source for number of papers: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SKFD2LcAAAAJ&hl=en. Can we change the sentence into: "He has published more than 300 scientific papers and currently holds 20 patents."?

Also, I would like to add a sentence about how Dr. Verdin was involved with the launch of a biotechnology company called Napa Therapeutics in August 2018: "Napa Therapeutics, a biotechnology company that focuses on developing drugs against aging-related targets, was built on the NAD metabolism research from Verdin's lab." Here is the source: https://www.biospace.com/article/buck-institute-insilico-med-and-juvenescence-found-napa-therapeutics-to-focus-on-age-related-diseases/.

removing a warning box at the top of the page

Latest comment: 5 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Hello, I am the Communications Manager at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and would like to have the warning removed from the top of our CEO's page. It says: "This article may have been created or edited for undisclosed payments..." I have posted a disclosure statement that i work for the organization for which i am trying to edit the page and the CEO's page. How can i have that warning box removed? There are edits the CEO would like to his page - updates to his bio.

Thank you! Chloe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chloecaviness (talk • contribs) 18:06, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'll invite Doc James to this discussion; he made the edit at Special:Diff/866651414 and will likely be able to help here.

You were not the paid editor that edited this page undisclosed though. Additionally you should only post suggestions here and not edit the article directly. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:05, 19 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Doc James: - how can i rectify this situation and get that warning box removed? What content do you find questionable and can i do anything to ease your concerns? Chloecaviness (talk) 18:30, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
