Biologist

[edit]

On what basis is he described as a biologist? Does he any relevant qualifications? Published any peer reviewed research? The entire careers section seems strong on his presenting history and I can't see anything which qualifies him to be referred to as a biologist or natural historiak come to that. 82.9.56.21 (talk) 23:12, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

from the Wikipedia article on biologist: a biologist is a scientist who conducts research in biology.
What research has he conducted? If none, this title needs to be remlved 82.9.56.21 (talk) 23:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever being "related to biology" is supposed to mean, it does not mean that he is a biologist. 2601:642:4F84:1590:DDA6:FEA5:D834:38CE (talk) 19:01, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can we please change his profile-picture. This greenish portrait is so much NOT his personality, that people get irritated. A much better picture is found at wiki Sir David sites of other languages. (e.g. here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Weston_Library_Opening_by_John_Cairns_20.3.15-139_David_Attenborough.jpg?uselang=fr or https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Sir_David_Frederick_Attenborough_at_Weston_Library_Opening_20.3.15_(cropped).jpg) Can it please be just swapped? Thank you! Sjgotte (talk) 10:35, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
