Talk:Arieh Warshel

message: Is the main contributor to this article a co-worker of Warshel's? While I find his work to be of great importance, I also find the article to be somewhat biased and promotional.Carstensen (talk) 13:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

message: As a former postdoc of Warshel's, I am quite alarmed to see the recent editing war this article has ignited. I completely appreciate and support the importance of not introducing a biased point of view into Wikipedia articles, particularly in light of the fact that not everyone who reads Wikipedia articles are experts on the topic they are reading about. That said, while I did not write the original article that has sparked this controversy, I do believe that the subsequent cleanup has resulted in a case of throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and the present edited version does no credit to Warshel for his tremendous contributions to the field (a view shared not only by myself as a former postdoc and ongoing colleague of his, but also by other leading scientists in the field, see for example Nat. Struct. Bio. 8 (2001), 392, a reprint of which is available here: http://csb.stanford.edu/levitt/Levitt_NSB01_History_0501_392.pdf). Therefore, as I feel the present cuts have been too extreme, over the next few days, I will be completely reworking this page to provide a more balanced biosketch and overview of Warshel's contributions to the field and scientific work. All content will be properly referenced. Any objections to content that go beyond minor corrections and linguistic edits, please discuss (and justify) on this talk page before completely reworking the page.

:I object. See WP:COI. Another better option is to suggest changes to the article here. Also, please sign your contributions.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not interested in your identity. At this point, I accept who you say you are, and I have no intention of trying to figure out what your name is. However, a better interpretation of the conflict policy would be the alternative I suggested, to post your suggested changes here first ("If you have a conflict of interest, then any changes that might be seen as controversial or not strictly neutral should be first suggested on the relevant talk page or noticeboard."). Your comment about "vandalizing the page" does not bode well and is not supported by any evidence of vandalism. Wikipedia's policies and guidelines take a long time to absorb. Thus, what you think is "neutral" and complies with policy may not be in the eyes of more experienced editors. Why don't you try what I suggest and see how it goes? At worst, it will slow you down, not necessarily a bad thing. Patience is a virtue--Bbb23 (talk) 23:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
