Talk:Leonid Perlovsky

This article requires some serious editing and fact checking

1. This article was apparently written by the person it is about (see comments below), 2. It has several questionable references (e.g. the 9/11 stuff has no working/valid reference), 3. It reads like a CV, which it basically is since it is more or less directly copied from his bio (see his website), 4. stuff like "keynote plenary speaker" and awards-lists are hardly worth mentioning on Wikipedia (indeed, they are CV material), 5. he is not (at least currently) a Harvard scholar (he seems to be an Affiliated Research Professor at Northeastern). Fix or delete, I'd say. I edited some stuff for now, but much more needs to be done for this to be a reliable reference for him and his work. He is worth a Wikipedia page with the publication record he has, but the state of this article was not up to Wikipedia's biography standards, IMO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.214.210.244 (talk) 12:41, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Why Adam was Expelled from Paradise

Removed the comment about a research interest of his being "Why Adam was Expelled from Paradise". He uses that as a title for a brief disussion of his, but it's certainly NOT research focussed on literally researching why "Adam" was expelled from "paradise". His research interest in that brief discussion is really about topics in cognitive science.

Fact checking

I'm checking some facts here, and would appreciate help.

• "US AFRL Charles Ryan Memorial Award for Basic Research, 2007". I can't find any references to this award other than in articles related to Perlovsky. I've sent a query to the public relations office at the Air Force Institute of Scientific Research.
• "John McLucas Award 2007, the highest US Air Force Award for science" The John McLucas Research Prize is "awarded to support undergraduate student research that examines ways to enhance crew safety on manned space vehicles." Perlovsky was an undergraduate in the 1960s. --John Nagle (talk) 22:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

There actually is a "John L. McLucas Award" in the USAF. [1]. Someone named Berman won it for 2008. Can't find a cite to previous years winners. --John Nagle (talk) 22:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

• The reference (2) doesn't support this statement: "His company predicted the market crash following September 11, 2001 attacks a week before the event, detecting activities of Al-Qaeda traders, and later helped SEC tracking the perpetrators.[2]"

Not on the Harvard faculty

This guy is not on the Harvard faculty. He's been a "visiting scholar" there. That's not a faculty position, or even a big deal. I've been a visiting scholar at Stanford; it doesn't mean much. --John Nagle (talk) 16:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Is this guy that important?

He's really not notable enough to be on Wikipedia. I wonder if he created this page himself. Nutmegger (talk) 06:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes he did write the article himself, look at Romanilin who created the article and added most of the content. I don't think he is important enough yet to have his own Wikipedia article. It is also written like a CV more than an encyclopedic entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.62.10.21 (talk) 00:36, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

This wikipedia page was helpful for me to understand briefly who this person is, and i'm reading some of his works.

Jargon

I've added the clean-up tag because his work is described in WP:INUNIVERSE and rather incomprehensible WP:JARGON. Tijfo098 (talk) 20:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
