Elham Kashefi was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2024, see https://rse.org.uk/fellowship/fellow/professor-elham-kashefi-5843/ . Please expand the coverage of the article to reflect this, and use the postnominal FRSE after her name at the start of the article. Ramajoepanda (talk) 14:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Could you please clarify if you have any further conflict of interest beyond working for the same school? Also, please suggest a specific wording for what you'd like added - is it just "In 2024, Kashefi was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh" to the end of the awards section? As for the second part, the guidelines on postnominals recommend not adding them to the lead - see WP:POSTNOMINAL. Rusalkii (talk) 05:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm I have no COI beyond working in the same School. I suggest revising the sentence in the awards section to "Kashefi was elected to the Young Academy of Scotland in 2011, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2024." The date 2011 (which resolves the when? query currently on the page) is sourced from https://ekashefi.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/kasheficv-detailed-20141.pdf .

I note the advice on postnomials, but if you look at the wikipedia pages for almost all of the senior academic staff on https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/School_of_Informatics,_University_of_Edinburgh you will find that the postnomials are in the lead. Based on the model of Aggelos Kiayias, I would recommend putting the FRSE postnomial after the Persian version of her name. BTW, the postnomial for Kashefi should also be added on the School of Informatics wikipedia page. Ramajoepanda (talk) 16:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
