Clarification on inline external links and citations
editHi @Jimfbleak,
I see you have made some corrections to my draft page. Thank you for that. I have a few questions regarding this. When you meant title should be italicised, you would like me to make all the titles in the draft to be made italicised?
And I have some one more question on the in-line external links. I have linked some external sites in the inline links as there were no wiki pages for them. Can those be included or should I leave them as red links or should I not link them?
Now, I see that there are some "citation needed" attached to the sentences in the awards section. For those citations, what do I need to cite? like something that justifies what was written about the award? or something that just says that this award has been given to Dr. Mark Keil?

- It is standard practice to italicise journal and book titles, see Template:Cite_book#Examples Template:Cite_web#Examplesand Template:Cite_journal#Examples
- You cannot have external links in text, it's up you whether you eave them as red links or not link them, depending how likely it is that someone (you?) might write a stub.
- In a biography of a living person, everything must be verifiable. If you say "his award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Information Systems discipline in terms of research, teaching and service" you must cite this, presumably to the awarding site, to show that it isn't just your opinion or commentary. Incidentally, there are other uncited items apart from those I've tagged Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Jimfbleak
- I have made relevant changes on the page from the last time we saw. Can you please take a look and let me know if those tags can be removed which says the page has issues. I have tried to address and solve the issues and I feel these can be removed now. Can you please check and remove them or suggest me some changes that needs to be done?

- Vamsy Alapati , that looks better. You can always remove maintenance tags yourself if you feel that you have addressed the issues. It's only tags for speedy deletion or AfD where that isn't permitted Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
