Talk:Farouk Kamoun

message: It seems pretty clear that Boulabiar, the user who created this page (twice), either [a] is Farouk Kamoun, or [b] copied the page contents from text that was written by Farouk Kamoun.  Ther are several instances where the POV slips from third-person to first-person, and it reads more like a resume than a Wikipedia article.  Plus, it is entirely unreferenced.  Since it will require more work to clean this up than to create a new article from scratch -- and its unclear whether or not this person is even notable enough to merit such an article -- I believe it should be deleted. --Xiaphias 21:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Maybe, I don't know.  Anyway it's not a big deal, either way an admin will see the article and make a decision, and you've explained your case on this talk page.  It's just sort of a pet peeve of mine I guess.--P4k 22:05, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The second half of the paper seeems from the style and formatting to have been copied form a website.Thisi is not acceptable, because it is a copyright violation. It must be rewritten or removed; in any case it repeats the earlier material, and the facts -- & only the facts-- should be listed at the proper places in the earlier part.
There are also needed some references to your work; with the public career specified, this should be possible. The references cannotcome from your own institute. 
In addition, there should be a short list of a few of your most important papers.
