Talk:Jonathan Mann (physician)

Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

• Appropriate infobox should be added
• Photograph should be added from a source with a free license
• Some copy editing needed for style and grammar
• Basic biographical information required, eg place of birth, education, career prior to joining WHO
• Lead should be expanded to survey other aspects of his life
• Article would benefit from further division into appropriate subheadings
• References should preferably be converted to inline format using the reflist template, to prevent the need for manual renumbering
• External links to useful online resources should be added if available

would be good to add a photo and remove the categorization/title as WHO offficial or WHO administrator MarkC1120 (talk) 15:05, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Was there ever an NPOV dispute?

An NPOV tag appeared on this article five months ago, sparking what may be Wikipedia's most low-key NPOV controversy ever i.e. not a single comment since then in either direction. It could be less of a puff-piece perhaps, but that aside I wonder if the NPOV tag shouldn't be removed in the near future. EEng (talk) 01:51, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, done. If someone wants to reinstall they can offer specific actionable items to be addressed. -- Banjeboi 03:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I wonder why the NPOV tag is on this article. I believe it to be straightforward and factual.Janebf (talk) 15:42, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

I have edited out some adjectives that could be seen as opinion, and have added a few facts about his first wife, the mother of his children. I wrote an article about Dr. Mann for The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives in 2002.Janebf (talk) 16:00, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

The tone is hagiographic; it reads like an obituary written by a fan. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:08, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

I agree the article is hagiographic, and worse it is also incomplete (e.g. project SIDA isn't covered) and not in chronological order. I propose to edit the Career section to neutrality & expand it, with The Coming Plague as my main source (since I have it at hand) for new material -- as well as pulling some things out of the Health and Human Rights section. 72.22.176.154 (talk) 21:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Additional sources

I think the section on "Career" can be expanded upon, so here are a couple sources that I think might be useful to do so.
