Although I have a COI, I've attempted to write a neutral article, and have solicited feedback from his colleagues and former students. Notability is obviously achieved under Criterion 5 and 8 of academic notability, and I believe also under 1 and 3. Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 09:56, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
Michael Woodroofe (my dad) died last week. I've added a death notice from the University of Michigan statistics department, and done some other minor cleanup. (An IP editor had already added the death date in the infobox.) I think that there was little judgement required in how to add the bare death facts, so I did so myself. I may also add some references (e.g., book reviews) over the next few days as per WP:COIU. On the other hand: I'm expecting some more substantial obituaries and memorials to follow over the next months. Expanding the article from these will require judgement, and I will certainly not try to do this myself; I'll list references here instead. Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 04:21, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Qflib, thank you sincerely for offering to help; thank you also to any other page-watchers who may want to look at the below. It's taken me some time to get to making a request, partly because I was waiting for his memorial conference. I made a couple of edits that I believe to be noncontroversial (reordering references, adding reviews of his books) myself, but am avoiding anything that involves any significant judgement. I have the following additional suggestions:
Small style changes:
References
Probably straightforward:
References
References
Question:
Sorry to write a small book here! I think that most of the suggested changes are straightforward. I could implement much of this myself, if a non-COIed editor gives the ok; or I could use the edit request template if you are busy. Thank you again! Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 10:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
