Caner Dagli edit

My friend, I won't revert again, but only because I don't want to kick off any edit warring. University bio pages are produced by the faculty themselves, so they are neither independent nor third-party sources. The issue of controversy isn't a factor in this discussion. I edited in good faith, and I believe you do too. So there's no need to write an order not to revert again. All the best, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 13:00, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@GorgeCustersSabre: First and foremost, I apologize for any negative impact my comment may have had on you. Have you noticed, however, that the referenced source, i.e. the website, is owned by Georgetown University? Dagli is not and has never been a member of the faculty there. So I'm not sure why we can't utilize this source for Dagli's background info. Sources about many notable academics are already hard to come by. We shall end up with nothing if we place such unnecessary restrictions on their biographies. Best regards. Mosesheron II (talk) 14:08, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dear Mosesheron II, thank you very much for your courteous reply. I appreciate it. Actually, the very Georgetown link you cited says that, although Caner Dagli is not a direct employee, he has "worked with one or more of our core projects or programs." When he did, he wrote for them a bio. That's how it works, and that's why it isn't a third-party source. You correctly point out that for many academics there is not much third-party coverage. True. That's why academics aren't as prominent on Wikipedia as say, sportspeople or politicians, and it's why their bio pages tend to be rather sparse. But it is what it is. Anyway, I don't mind if want to add it again. It's far from being a big deal, and I thank you again for taking time to reply. It was good of you. Best regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 14:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC).Reply
