But even if you should happen to disagree with our normal style for a bio, there's a more basic problem because of our BLP policy. See WP:BLPSOURCES Here there is not even a true third party source at all, just press releases from his own university. Ref 11 says at the bottom that the author "Richard Lovegrove is a senior writer in the publications department" of Virginia Tech. Ref 12 is a press release from Purdue. Under the provision of WP:BLPSELFPUB, even if we regard the material as written under his direction, the praise it gives him for overcoming difficulties is "unduly self-serving".
Certainly notable but clearly written in a tone that deliberately boosts the subject's profile. Also has all the hallmarks of commissioned editing. What to do about it? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 23:07, 27 November 2017 (UTC) Fixed. In wireless, my field, he is that prominent. Dave Burstein Daveburstein ( talk) 04:28, 2 May 2018 (UTC) Removed redundancies and hyperbole. Shortened. Removed advisory box.
I am an employee of NYU Tandon and the Web Design and Development Manager of NYU WIRELESS. I am only updating with routine facts, such as awards received or new facial duties or obligations. The edits I have made are simply focusing on factual events and accomplishments that are documented by outside sources, and not promotional in nature. I only wish to keep the page updated with the most current information and free of typos or errors. Currently, there is a typo in the introductory paragraph of this page. Could you please fix the spelling of "adoption?” It is currently spelled " rgwdoption." This is the kind of error I would like to fix on the page in addition to adding awards or new achievements that are factual. Musicman713 ( talk) 18:09, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I am requesting an addition to this page to the effect that Theodore Rappaport was recently elected to the 2019 Wireless History Foundation Hall of Fame. Might this addition be added in the first paragraph just after the second sentence, "He was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in 2018.[5]"? Might this information also be added to the sidebar as the (new) second bullet right after the one noting that he has won the IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award for 2020? Thank you very much. Supporting documentation: https://wirelesshistoryfoundation.org/whf-hall-of-fame/ or https://wirelesshistoryfoundation.org/wireless-history-foundation-announces-2019-inductees-for-wireless-hall-of-fame/ or http://wirelesshistoryfoundation.org/theodore-rappaport/. Third party news stories include: https://www.rcrwireless.com/20190729/5g/nyu-professor-wireless-hall-fame and He is also third from right in the group photo on this page: https://wirelesshistoryfoundation.org. Thanks so much, and don't hesitate to query me here or at Kgberg ( talk) 21:46, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
