Your/a CV is not a reference? It wouldnt work in her Phd thesis and it wont work here. Can you find 3rd party reliable refs that show her notability? Victuallers (talk) 20:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

CVs are acceptable as sources for factual information, but not for opinion. Notability is something separate; the relevant criterion is WP:PROF, which Adler passes triply, as a highly-cited researcher (#C1 of WP:PROF; see Google scholar), as the president of a major academic society (#C6), and as a fellow (a highly selective and honorific grade of membership; #C3) in another major academic society. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Place of birth in DOB place holder

edit

I removed this since in most well written biographies, it is not placed there. This information is in the info box and can go in the main body. If we want to go against MOS, that's fine just get consensus, thank you. Malerooster (talk) 11:54, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

All claims in an infobox must be summaries of material in the article. Your edits violate that. I agree with removal of the place (and the precise date) from the lead, as not lead-worthy, but they should be restored later in the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Looks fine, thank you.--Malerooster (talk) 17:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nationality in the lead sentence

edit

I she that the subject has dual nationality. This should still be included in the lead sentence. Does somebody want to take a stab at that? I usually stick to single nationalities. Thank you, Malerooster (talk) 11:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

In cases where there is doubt because of significant activity in multiple nations, I think we should omit any claims of citizenship altogether without reliable publications. That means from the infobox too. In this case Australian/Israeli dual nationality looks like the most likely possibility, but we should not operate on guesswork in this sort of matter. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Never mind, I see that the archived cv states her nationality explicitly. I will restore it with a source. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Very good. Thank you, --Malerooster (talk) 17:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
