Disclosing COI[edit]

I, the author of the initial draft of this page, have a COI: I work for a communications agency for which Analog Devices is a client. I'm happy to help with any feedback about how to ensure this article's NPOV and encyclopedic value. I want to ensure I am transparent throughout the process of getting this article reviewed for a move to mainspace. Many thanks. Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:14, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

COI edit requests[edit]

Hi! As noted above, I have a COI: Analog Devices is a client of my employer. Requesting a few updates to this article:

1. Update As of 1998, Adams had received 15 patents related to audio signal processing.[1] to As of 2005, Adams had received more than 20 patents related to audio signal processing.[2] Please note that the current version uses a named ref that recurs later, so the naming and full ref information will have to be moved to that instance (in the "Awards and honors" section).

2. Adding to "Awards and honors":

Received the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Industrial Pioneer Award, 2016[3][4]
Elected to the National Academy of Engineering, 2018[5][6][7]

3. Adding category [[Category:Members of the United States National Academy of Engineering]].

Due to my COI, I won't be editing the article directly. Thanks for any help or feedback! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:18, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply 27-SEP-2019[edit]

  Edit request partially implemented  

  1. Green tickY The claim of being elected to the National Academy of Engineering was added.
  2. Green tickY The category for that claim was added.
  3. Red XN The claim "Adams had received more than 20 patents" was not added because it is not clear what is meant by the phrase more than.
  4. Red XN The claim of receiving the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Industrial Pioneer Award was not added because Industrial Pioneer Award was not Wikilinked.

plus Additional changes made:

  • In two references, the deprecated |dead-url=yes parameter was changed to |url-status=dead in order to clear the resulting CS1 formatting error.

@Spintendo: Thank you! For the patent count, how about this source (admittedly a primary source) that mentions 32 patents as of 2011? <ref>{{cite press release |title=Analog Devices’ Adams Named IEEE Fellow |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20111214005041/en/Analog-Devices%E2%80%99-Adams-Named-IEEE-Fellow |accessdate=7 October 2019 |work=Analog Devices |date=14 December 2011}}</ref> Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:15, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mary, {{cite patent}} is the most relevant citation template to use for US patents. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  01:48, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Spintendo: Would the goal be to add a cite for each individual patent? Isn't that WP:OR? Regardless, here is the most recent patent:
US patent 9901306, Adams, Robert; Demirtas, Sefa & Bernstein, G., "Tracking Mechanism for Heart Rate Measurements", issued 2018-02-27, assigned to Analog Devices, Inc.
