I noticed that you've put your user page into various categories. However, user pages shouldn't be in categories like this: see WP:CATEGORY#User_namespace. You might be better off using userboxes on your userpage instead, such as:

This user is an engineer.

This user comes from France.

There are many other user-boxes around - if you look at other people's user pages, you may see others you like. If you have any questions about this, or anything else on WP, please get in touch, and I'll try to help. Best wishes, Bencherlite 17:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism[edit]

I reverted the case you added. For such a serious claim as plagiarism to be included, it must be supported by rock-solid reliable sources. Fences&Windows 01:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see now you only moved it from another page. Fences&Windows 01:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I included it again with the proper references, notably Notices of the American Mathematical Society 54(4) (2007) p. 472. Bernard Bel (talk) 20:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of page "Gopal Kundu Controvesy" from article "Scientific plagiarism in India[edit]

Hello,

The page "Gopal Kundu Controvesy" of article "Scientific plagiarism in India" contains invalid information about him and the controversy, He is a former scientist who has registered patents and works at National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS), Pune, India. The page also refers to unofficial invalid sources. I request you to check official website of NCCS,Pune,India which is a Indian government body. the URL is www.nccs.res.in/gck.html. Please consider this request because it affects his reputation.

Gilles J. Guillemin‎[edit]

I removed the retraction section from Gilles J. Guillemin‎, as it does not appear to been covered in reliable secondary sources. Sourcing for contentious material in a biography of a living person must meet a high level of sourcing. While the retraction itself is a reliable source, it is primary. I did look for a secondary source, and did not find one. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You will find a detailed discussion of Guillemin's publications, along with comments and annoucements of investigations by universities, on the "For Better Science" website : forbetterscience.com/2021/09/07/none-of-the-work-has-not-been-done-in-my-lab. Please feel free to include this secundary source! --Bernard Bel 14:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that source is actually blacklisted by Wikipedia, presumably for good reasons! Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:23, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, I have started a discussion on the article talk page. I encourage you to take part. I will revert the material once more, per WP:BLPSOURCES. If you can find reliable secondary sources, or if other experienced editors think that the material is WP:DUE and adequately sourced, then I will not object to it.
