V. Kumar (professor)[edit]

I undid your edit for a number of reasons. Please avoid using "Dr." and "professor" except when their credentials are mentioned. See wp:credentials. Please do not use wp:puffery: Wikipuffery is the puffing of a subject or the "larding" on of praise-filled adjectives done by Wikipedia editors in articles, often in misguided good faith, as a way of exaggerating the notability of article subjects to avoid deletion of the article. Use an encyclopedic wp:tone. The is an encyclopedia, not a advertisement or promotion: WP:NOTPROMOTION Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 17:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated above, do not add "Dr."

This statement that you added: Many of Dr.Kumar's research initiatives are aimed at solving specific Marketing problems of various B2B and B2C companies. His work is implemented in many Fortune 500 firms. There are direct evidences from companies such as IBM, Prudential Financial Services, POLO, and P&G reporting growth in profits by implementing Dr.Kumar's statistical methods. is not sourced, as well as many other statements you added.

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, V. Kumar (professor), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

February 2016[edit]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to V. Kumar (professor). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 17:46, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, per wp:credential, do not add "Dr." or "professor". Jim1138 (talk) 17:48, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Any significant statement on V. Kumar (professor) needs to be cited. This is per Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 23:15, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed uncited content. You need to remove the wp:puffery such as this statement: He is an internationally renowned marketing scholar and has been recognized as a “Legend in Marketing” That does not belong on Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 23:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit[edit]

Please do not check "This is a minor edit" when making major changes to an article as you did here and here See WP:MINOR That check box should only be used for simple fixes, not wholesale changes. Jim1138 (talk) 06:03, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources[edit]

I removed from V. Kumar (professor) the research section and some awards as they rely only on wp:primary sources If you add material, you need to source it with wp:reliable sources which are secondary, not primary. You should also work to fix items indicated by the tags at the top. i.e. primary sources, wp:puffery and fix content written like an ad. Jim1138 (talk) 04:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
