Talk:C. N. R. Rao

message: Hello,
I believe that the first paragraph in the section titled "Controversies" needs to be removed, as it is unsubstantiated (the first 3 lines) and factually incorrect (the last 17 words of that paragraph). I am stating my reason(s) below:
In a scientific journal, the onus of including the date of receipt of an article lies with the Publisher of the journal. To attribute its omission to the author is erroneous and misleads the reader of the wiki page.
Please note that the said journals published Errata in their May 1987 issues mentioning that the date(s) of receipt of the articles were not printed in the journals due to their oversight [1,2]. Thus, the authors are absolutely in the clear. The first three lines of that paragraph are thus trying to wilfully mislead the wiki reader into thinking that the authors are somehow responsible. This is incorrect.
Secondly, in a few instances, the said journals have indeed published papers of other authors without dates of receipt, during the same time period [3,4], negating the claim made in the last 17 words of that first paragraph.
In view of the above, may I request you to delete the first paragraph in the Controversies section? Thank you.

thread_title: Proposal to remove paragraph from controversies

message: The previous version contained the following sentence at the end of the section:
"This incident also sparked widespread debate on why a senior scientist should be a communicating author when that person has little personal involvement with the paper."
I removed it as it (i) did not have any citation (ii) makes the so-called debate as the central theme and not the person in the Wikipedia entry (C.N.R. Rao).
Thanks

thread_title: Reason for removing one sentence from Controversies Section:

message: Hi, can you make following edits:
(1) PADMA VIBHUSHAN was awarded in 1985 by then president of India. It is incorrectly written as 2013
(2) PADMA SHRI was awarded in 1974 by then president of India. No year written.
(3) Barath Ratna announced and will be awarded. 
For the above edits, the source is http://www.jncasr.ac.in/cnrrao/awards.html
In the introduction: grammar of  "He is the authored around 1,500 research papers and 45 scientific books." This needs to be edited to  "He authored around 1,500 research papers and 45 scientific books." 
The citation for this statement should be changed to http://www.jncasr.ac.in/cnrrao/research.html
Thanks

thread_title:  Notable Awards--add year 

message: The section about contribution is needed. I have no issues if controversy section remains there as it is property referenced. But we don't have contribution section and have a big controversy section. Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 05:40, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contribution section needed 

message: Nobel Laureate and physicist CV Raman who was given the Bharat Ratna award in 1954; civil engineer M. Visvesvarayya in 1955 and most recently aeronautical engineer APJ Abdul Kalam in 1997, and then CNR Rao Sir.
Please make above changes. He is the fourth scientist to get Bharat Ratna Award.

thread_title:  Year correction in profile section 

message: In this page regarding Prof.C.N.R. Rao it is mentioned that he is the fourth scientist to receive the Bharat Ratna
award after  C.V. Raman, Visvesvaraya and A. P. J. Abdul Kalam but it is not true as Visvesvaraya was not a scientist
but a civil engineer and Diwan of Mysore. So, Prof.C.N.R. Rao is the third scientist after C.V. Raman and A. P. J. Abdul Kalam to receive this award.
Here is a link to confirm this:
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/cnr-rao-sachin-receive-bharat-ratna/article5652196.ece?homepage=true
The link is from a famous Indian newspaper The Hindu which claims him to be the third scientist to receive this award.
