Re: Other languages

Tagging translators: The french article for Hachinski is of very poor quality and needs to be updated for accuracy and to be made current. May I suggest translating the english article to achieve this?

Re: close connection to the subject

I was very diligent and conscientious in writing this article to avoid bias, provide only information that can be confirmed by third party resources, source all material vigilantly, and remain in keeping with wikipedia's guidelines. I did this so that other users would be easily able to confirm my research and corroboate the article's content. I appreciate that this must be done given my proximity to the subject. I hope such corroboration can be accomplished quickly and easily. I am happy to provide support to this process any way I can. User:Doc_James perhaps you'd be willing to help with this, or know of someone else that might? --Rmcn (talk) 20:21, 1 August 2016 (UTC) --Rmcn (talk) 02:51, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "Awards and Recognitions" section

Undid revision by Tryptofish (talk), who cited WP:NOTRESUME as reason. I argue awards and recognitions have not been listed with the intention to "make a personal webpage or blog or to post [Hachinski's] résumé," but to show notability. Only major accomplishments that (1) can be reasonably considered to be career-defining in Hachinski's field and (2) can be easily verified through third parties have been included. If the section merits paring-down or re-structuring into prose/narrative, let's work on that and discuss here further. --Rmcn (talk) 22:48, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: lists to prose

I recognize that I should not be the one to remove the prose tag from the "Non-scientific publications" section due to COI. Thus, in good faith, I request that another editor review the changes I have made to address the issue and perform the removal. User:Tryptofish, perhaps you'll want to take a look.--Rmcn (talk) 00:05, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Review of recent changes and possible COI editing

I reverted this edit by WNAssistant (talk · contribs), since I felt it was non-constructive and a possible conflict of interest. The edit removed more than 17,000 bytes of information, giving only the explanation "The page was many years outdated. Updated with Dr. Hachinski's approval May 2025." The edit summaries that the user has worked with or worked for Dr. Hachinski, who supposedly gave approval for the edit. Wikipedia does not accept edits simply because the subject of the biography has supposedly approved. The same edit also introduced promotion tone, against the guidelines of WP:TONE and WP:PROMO. The edit removed multiple reliable sources, replacing them with an incorrect citation style (a simple text list), against the guidelines of WP:CITE and WP:MEDRS. The edit converted correctly formatted lists into simple masses of text, removed valuable wikilinks, and categories. Flibirigit (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subsequent edits by the same user added unsourced awards,[1] and more promotional tone without cited sources.[2] Flibirigit (talk) 16:27, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
