[edit]

The article John Driffill should be created because John Driffill is a Professor of international reputation. His article on wage bargaining published with Calmfors has changed the way economic policy on wage is created. He has hundreds of published articles in world wide well known economic journals and is an editor for journals such as Economica and other well respected journals. An addition of an article on this world wide professor would be a great addition to this encyclopedia

Status and Advice

[edit]

Yes, he is, and , as reviewing administrator, I removed the deltion tag. But you must show it a little more fully: First, give the basic information--the source should be his CV-- birthplace and date, degrees, previous positions. If there are published books, list them in formal bibliographic style. List the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science. Include major national level offices and awards, but not minor ones. Be sure to list editorships (but not mere editorial board membership) --we consider it very important, and you should add it to the articles for the relevant journals also, with a link to the bio. If the subject of the article has any notable students who would qualify for Wikipedia bios, include them. Their PhD & postdoctoral advisors probably also qualify for bios here; add them and link them, even if they do not yet have articles.

For any part you quote directly from the published bio, include quotation marks and a reference, but otherwise It is not necessary to cite the basic information in detail to more than the official CV. However, give any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.

Pay particular attention to the way we make links to other Wikipedia articles. Avoid WP:Peacock terms.

If I can help you with any of this, let me know. ` DGG ( talk ) 15:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
