Inappropriate tone[edit]

As requested on my talk page, here are some reasons that I tagged the article for inappropriate tone:

Use of personal rather than family name. Done
"He comes with an experience of over 40 years as…" this phrase fits a CV, e.g. where he is seeking to "come" to a new appointment – not an objective article about him.
Promotional language e.g. "prestigious", "distinguished", "highly cited" – such phrases could only be acceptable if specifically cited
"He has led…", "He is a strong advocate for…", "Srivastava is committed to…", "He has championed…", "This interest is also reflected in his work…" – these all belong in a CV rather than an article, unless specifically cited.

Conflict of interest[edit]

I have added a "Connected contributor" template above for Sireesha EV (talk · contribs), who has expanded this article by a factor of 3. She has a WP:Conflict of interest as she is Digital Media Manager at the Indian School of Business and updating this article on advice from the Dean's (Rajendra Srivastava's) office.[2]

@Sireesha EV: please move the existing references into inline citations using<ref></ref>tags. It will be OK for you to do this yourself.

You may also tone down the promotional language, or remove info that is not supported by citations, without first checking such edits with independent editors. – Fayenatic London 19:43, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi Team, I have made the required iterations, request you to help in removing the message on the Rajendra Srivastava's Wiki page. Or please suggest on the further modifications. I am advised to update the page. As I have emphasized earlier, the information posted on the page is factual.

The article's tone is still far too promotional, the article should be trimmed by half. This reads like a profile on his university's page. As an example, you would not see He has led innovation-driven and research-informed changes in academic programs in Britannica. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
