Relatively to the banner above, there are reasons to suspect that all the users are in fact the same (see WP:PUPPET).--Japs 88 (talk) 15:26, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotion[edit]

If this doesn't qualify for self-promotion I don't know what does. The article is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.134.207.32 (talk) 19:02, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

The main contributor to this article is one Wikisannino, which certainly casts suspicions that this contributor is in fact the subject of the article himself. Looking at his contributions, this user account seems to have been created for the sole purpose of editing the present article. If this is not blatant self-promotion I don't know what it is. Furthermore, there are claims of notability, but no secondary source to support it. An EU commission grant is not a major national or international award. Puffino (talk) 17:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the Wiki conditions are met[edit]

Neutral point of view: All the information are verifiable via secondary sources. Notability: The information are again all verifiable. The article reports simply neutral facts about a known scientist. I have checked several other scientists profiles on Wiki, including the ones added by Puffino and this profile is in line with those. A comment about EU commission grants of excellence: Only few selected scientists have received this grant. There is also a Danish grant of excellence [1] not reported in the article. SilvesterCat (talk) 17:30, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe the information provided in this article is verifiable, please include links to the sources. See WP:PROF for the relevant policy. At the moment there is not a single link to any source, let alone secondary, reliable sources. You can for example provide external links to the EU grant if you believe it is of major importance, or press coverage if there is any. The onus is on the editor to provide supporting material, not on the reader to go out of the way to verify the material his/herself. The conflict of interest tag refers to the fact that this article, apart from a few minor edits, has been edited exclusively by one single user bearing a strikingly similar name to the subject of the article. The account has no other edits except those on this article (see my post in the section "Conflict on interest"). Note that Autobiographies are discouraged, see WP:AUTO. I might also add here that creating multiple single edit accounts is considered as a form a abuse, and is not tolerated, see WP:MULTIPLE. I am reinstating the COI and notability tags until the problems in this article have been resolved. Puffino (talk) 10:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this physicist is on Wikipedia, then there must be millions!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.84.134.230 (talk) 09:45, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Self citations and self promotion[edit]

Should it be mentioned that the author always cites his own papers with a ratio of 1/3? This generate, on the published papers, a boost of his total citation count of almost 60% (3,698 to 5,909), of the average citation count of almost 60% (27 to 43), and the h-index of about 25% (31 to 39). He's a clear case of a clever physicists trying to use several methods to boost his name. This wiki entry is another element used to boost up his importance. 50.75.99.161 (talk) 17:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
