Removal?

[edit]

This revert claims that information was removed by switching templates. However, on examination, it appears that no inappropriate removal ensued; the switch largely reduced redundancy and improved accessibility. The two exceptions were Strangeways, which was a postdoctoral position only, and the |awards= parameter - the PhD is not an "award" as we usually consider them, and similarly EMBO is a membership rather than a typical "award". Happy to hear opinions on how best to approach representation of the EMBO issue. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Duncan.Hull: You must have missed this query about |awards= - how do you think we should represent EMBO? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:11, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter references - Ivor Cummins

[edit]

There are two references using links to the twitter account of Ivor Cummins, whose views are WP:FRINGE. Are there reliable sources that can be used instead? WP:TWITTER limits usage of Twitter as a reference - in particular it says it can be used it does not involve claims about third parties; and it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;. However, given those restrictions thy cannot be used in this article. Autarch (talk) 03:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Autarch: I agree. I was very surprised to see this video mentioned at all in the article, while at the same time his work during the COVID-19 pandemic has barely been discussed at all. I don't see how this video is even relevant to this article and looks like someone trying to push a certain agenda. Oisin1001 (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
