Nomination of Oded Hod for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Oded Hod is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oded Hod until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

I really do not understand it, and sure that this discussion will end up with keeping the entry on air. Oded Hod is a notable theoretical chemist, with h-index of 43 and over 8400 citations. Absolutely redundant process. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 12:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Assaf Friedler

Hello קוונטום דוץ,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Assaf Friedler for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello קוונטום דוץ. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Gilad Haran, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:קוונטום דוץ. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=קוונטום דוץ|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers Your accusation is severe and totally wrong. I'm a PhD student in Israel who invests much efforts in order to introduce new entries about Israeli faculty members, leaded by an honest belief of making science and academia accessible. I don't get any pay for my work. You are most welcome to take a glance at dozens of entries I've written in Hebrew. I demand you to apologize for your accusation immediately. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 05:55, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Also, in this sense, please remove the template you put on the entry Gilad Haran and revert your deletions of fully referenced content about his research. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 05:59, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry, but the fact is that "the nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Gilad Haran, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic"; we see a lot of paid editing, and often it looks just like this. If you're not a paid editor, could you perhaps stop giving such a good impression of being one? A good start might be to source articles on academics exclusively to independent reliable sources, scrupulously excluding all promotional materials published or provided by the subject; avoid language like "Haran's lab has been a pioneer in studies of folding ... "; and not provide the articles with cheesy selfies (if there are suitably-licenced photos of the person taken by members of the public, by all means use them). Assaf Friedler has been nicely cleaned up; you could perhaps use that as an example of what an encyclopaedic entry might look like. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers It could be nice if you stop educating people which you know nothing about them/their knowledge/experience. Have a great day. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Maya Schuldiner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Israeli. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi קוונטום דוץ. Thank you for your work on Yona Keisari. Another editor, Vanderwaalforces, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hello there קוונטום דוץ, thank you for creating this article, nice work. Please on the [[Yona Keisari#Research[1][2][4][5][6]|Research section]], please remove the citation tags from the section header and place them just after the statements they support as it doesn't look right to have the citations all on the section header and the entire section left unsourced.

Ways to improve Eli Jerby

Hello, קוונטום דוץ,

Thank you for creating Eli Jerby.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This is too much of a description, and fails to demonstrate notability. Currently it is a candidate to be nominated for deletiin

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ldm1954}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Ldm1954 (talk) 21:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding that the title is "Ways to improve Eli Jerby" you have not mention any proper ways to improve it.

"This is too much of a description": ok, so what paragraphs shall be removed? according to which criteria? all paragraphs are documented and referenced. Please be specific.

"fails to demonstrate notability": many of Jerby's colleagues which are in the same academic field and status of contribution (e.g. Avraham Gover and George Bekefi) are existing as entries as we speak. In what ways this particular entry fails?

Please be more specific and more patient before you nominate this entry for deletion. This entry was written with many efforts based on the Hebrew version, and it has scientific and encyclopedic value. Please don't rush and let us have a discussion so I'll be able to mend the entry.

קוונטום דוץ (talk) 07:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Please look at other articles, for instance Yoram Shiftan as one example I know. What you have written is a CV/essay of his research. Wikipedia bios do not detail all research, at most a few key results. They must demonstrate notability based upon third party (secondary) sources. At the moment all the refs are to his papers -- that is not the right approach.

• Find papers by others that review his work
• Cut the description
• Use the two you mentioned as models, as both avoid the problems with this one.

Ldm1954 (talk) 21:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Minor revision, both those you mentioned are too heavy on primary sources. I am relatively gentle, I just tagged the page; I have seen other reviewers go in and delete large sections arguing that they were not properly sourced (independent sources). Ldm1954 (talk) 21:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ldm1954:.קוונטום דוץ (talk) 07:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I'll act respectively in order to fix all these issues. Please wait with any discussion towards deletion. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 21:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Please be more careful with sourcing and other issues

The rules for different Wikis for academic BLPs are different. New pages from around the world get created ranging from graduate students with 1 paper, assistant professors with 10 to the small fraction of truly notable academics. In general it is "guilty until proven innocent". A few key points, relevant to the different pages you have edited/created:

• A significant number of truly independent sources need to be used. The persons personal webpage is marginal and many consider his university page as tainted.
• No bragging (peacock). The facts should stand for themselves.
• Source everything. Good form is a web link to the actual PhD and even a degree record (commencement pdf). The wiki search is very good.
• Keep it short. Focus on what makes them notable, don't describe everything they have done.
• Don't fight reviewers, you will lose. Discuss politely and respect that they have created/edited/reviewed many pages.

Hello, קוונטום דוץ. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Niron Hashai, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

I see that you have disclosed above that you are a PhD student writing about senior Israeli academics. I would suggest that if Hashai is someone that might plausibly write a letter on your behalf in support of job applications or similar, then you very likely have a COI that you should formally disclose. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a physicist. Prof. Hashai is from business management. We have no professional relations. You and some of your fellows have decided to attack each and every one of my edits; in Hebrew I have written over 160 entries which are all well-esteemed. For some reason that I can't track, you are conducting a crusade on my work. With all the respect, this is not the right way to welcome new editors. קוונטום דוץ (talk) 17:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

קוונטום דוץ, I'm not crusading against your work in any way. But you need a solid source to include a birth date in a WP:BLP -- we have that only for the birth year. Anything that appears in the lede or infobox must appear in the body of the article. The article is mainly based on self-published sources, and the tag allows editors to later try to fill that in (to remove the tag, find press coverage). We avoid commercial links in Wikipedia article pretty strongly (any page with a "buy" button is generally frowned upon.) By the way, the commercial link is the one thing that I am not sure that I understood -- were you trying to say that Hashai has a book where he discusses his parents? (If so, a Google books link could be appropriate here.)

While you may not have a close professional relationship, the nature of your edits suggests that you have a personal connection, and WP:COI sets a very low bar for a conflict. I do appreciate that you are trying to contribute here, and I can see that some of your edits have indeed been improvements. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yossi Elran. Thank you. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 08:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Ways to improve Yossi Elran

Hello, קוונטום דוץ,

Thank you for creating Yossi Elran.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

No proof of notabilify. Please improve or it will be nominated for deletion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ldm1954}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Ldm1954 (talk) 06:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Possibly relative relevant criteria for notability include WP:BASIC, WP:NPROF, and WP:NAUTHOR. WP:BASIC would require press coverage of Elran; Hebrew language coverage is acceptable. WP:NPROF looks very unlikely. WP:NAUTHOR would generally require multiple reviews of multiple works, published in independent reliable sources. I also wish to mention to you that you can create articles in draft space (like at Draft:Yossi Elran), where there is more lattitude and where you can take some time to establish a better case for notability.

The only source for his whole professional career is his personal webpage. Please find independent sources, as his web page is generally not considered as reliable. Please also trim the articles, External links to his sites, and only notable awards.
