thread_title: Turkish-American??

message: Acemoglu, the only child of a middle-class Armenian couple, grew up in Istanbul, Turkey during a tumultuous period of economic crises and political unrest, when hyperinflation sapped spending power; rural poor streamed into cities, only to find squalor and more poverty; and terrorist attacks frequently rocked the nation, leading to the military coup of 1980. He often wondered why Turkey's development lagged that of the United States and other industrialized nations. Some two decades later, as an economist and professor at MIT, he came up with an answer.

Daron Acemoglu grew up in Turkey during a tumultuous period of economic crises and political unrest, when hyperinflation sapped spending power; rural poor streamed into cities, only to find squalor and more poverty; and terrorist attacks frequently rocked the nation, leading to the military coup of 1980.
Living through these times, Acemoglu, the only child of a middle-class couple, said he often wondered why Turkey's development lagged that of the United States and other industrialized nations. Some two decades later, as an economist and professor at MIT, he came up with an answer.

thread_title: Publications

message: Per MOS Infoboxes, the purpose of an infobox is "to summarize key facts about the article in which it appears". Not explicitly stated here, but well understood in practice is the notion that material in an infobox is deliberately redundant; any item in an infobox should be found, almost always with supporting references, in the main text of the article.
The infobox for an economist mirrors that purpose, but is more explicit: "Entries in influences, opposed, influenced, and contributions should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted."
Based upon these policy reasons, I've removed Christopher Pissarides.--SPhilbrickT 14:08, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit to infobox 

message: This article Daron Acemoğlu is part of the series New institutional economics and this description is also used as headline for the box with the data about Acemoğlu (born, nationality etc.). But in the text this economic school is not mentioned once, not even Institutional economics (which some people interpret as a more generic term).
Any idea how this could be added/changed? 46.115.84.80 (talk) 13:50, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

1.In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.
2.Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: How is this a GA? It is not really an article about Daron Acemoglu, more like "Daron Acemoglu's political views." Three-quarters of it is about his personal political views and less than one-quarter is about his actual career and life's work. He has published five books and hundreds of journal articles, yet most of this content is from random news articles and interviews. Looking at the GA criteria, it seems to fail at least numbers three and four. Can I challenge this listing? Bzweebl  (talk • contribs) 02:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Daron is a graduate of Galatasaray High School, which teaches French and has almost all of subjects given in French. I believe he also co-authored a book in French titled "Introduction à l'économie". So I ask the question, should we also add "French" to languages that he can speak fluently in "Life" section?Emre Dokur (talk) 16:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
