  • Comment: This page was moved back to a draft so the author could improve it. Unfortunately rather than doing this it was resubmitted without any chsnged. I see no reason to change the prior comments/criticisms. If it is submitted the same another time it might be best to reject it. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Dear Ldm1954, The team of Prof. Amir Sagi approached a group that offered to write an article about him for a fee and it turned out that they fell victim to fraud and deception, and the result is what appears on this page. I am one of the retirees of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and am also engaged in writing articles on the Hebrew Wikipedia, but I also have some experience in writing and editing on the English Wikipedia. The department of research contracts at our university heard about me in this context, and the fraud that Amir Sagi's team fell into their network, and they asked me if I could help. I had no connection with what has been written so far, and my acquaintance with Prof. Amir Sagi is also very loose. Prof. Amir Sagi's team is in contact with Shaun from Legal Enforcement ( legal_enforcement@wikimedia.org ) to help him track down the fraudsters. May I ask you to bring about a complete deletion of this draft, and I will try to start all over, and in a much more proper way. Thank you so much in advance, Ronavni (talk) 11:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Early life and education[edit]

Sagi completed his M.Sc., in Oceanography, Marine Biology at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem which marked the start of his interest in crustacean reproduction strategies.[1] and during his Ph.D he addressed anatomical and physiological aspects of differentiation in prawn with special attention to the androgenic gland.[2]
