Improving/Upgrading this page

edit

I'm working on upgrading this page with better citations and adherence to wikipedia standards. I'd like to request that someone review the page and make sure it's good so that the tags can be removed. Svolkow (talk) 21:47, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've created a sandbox version of the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svolkow/sandbox/BrianKeatingDraft

Any edits or feedback appreciated. I'll continue to edit in sections. I work at UCSD and have am learning my way here so that I can edit and update articles. Svolkow (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Article Update Requests

edit

Hello: I am in a COI relationship with Brian Keating. He has inquired as to some updates that may improve his page. First, I noticed that on December 15th, the section on his book, Losing the Nobel Prize was deleted with no explanation as to why. I'm wondering if that deletion can be reverted? He has also written a second book, and the information is listed below. Could a new section be added called Books?

In 2021, Keating published a second book on the Nobel Prize topic titled “Into the Impossible: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner.” The book is a collection of interviews with nine laureates who received the Nobel prize in Physics. Interviewees include Adam Riess, Sheldon Glashow, Duncan Haldane, and six others who talk about what they credit as the reasons for being a recipient of the award. [1][2]

Secondly, is it possible to add the following to the Research section of the article?

In 2021, Dr. Keating received $4.6 million from the Simons Foundation to continue development of the Simons Observatory. [3]

Dr. Keating has contributed articles on the subject of cosmology to publications including Scientific American[4] and Wired magazine. [5]

Thank you for your consideration. Any feedback or suggested changes are welcome. Best! LeepKendall (talk) 00:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just to note that @LeepKendall: also contacted me on my talk page, see User_talk:Mike_Peel/Archive_71#COI_Edit_Requests_-_Brian_Keating_Article and User_talk:Mike_Peel/Archive_71#Brian_Keating_Article for the discussions. I've also been in off-wiki contact with Brian about this article. These discussions led me to do the rewrite in the last few days, making sure that the article follows Wikipedia policy as much as possible. I do have a minor COI here since I work in the same field as Brian - and I was in the Planck collaboration whose observations contradicted the BICEP2 result - however I don't think that has affected my edits here. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Steelkamp: Thanks for looking at this! I expect to have time to work through your comments later this week. Just to make sure you've noticed this, see Talk:Brian_Keating#Article_Update_Requests - I've been in contact with Brian while working on this article, so if there are any tricky questions I can ask him directly about them / see whether he knows of additional references mentioning that info that we could use here (although of course, no reference = not included!).
