Updating A. Eugene Washington Wikipedia Biography[edit]

Hi FuzzyMagma, I appreciate your help transferring part of the sandbox to the article and respect your editorial style and interpretation of Wikipedia policies. I'm addressing a few points to improve the biography further from the perspectives in Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Science and academia.

First, I'm afraid I have to disagree; the "selected publication" or "significant publication" section is a place for readers who want in-depth information on a subject's research, but the context is too much for inclusion in the subject's Wikipedia biography. On the science and academia BLP talk page, many conversations come to a consensus on a short selected publications section[5 publications]. I would like to shorten my original suggested list to 5 papers. Could you take a look at the talk page and the archived talk pages and let me know your thoughts on this?----Chefmikesf (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
