Not an autobiography

The editor LSwiki092018 has explained at the Teahouse that she is not the subject, and her username before she changed it was similar to the subject so that she could create it easily. She also says that she has no personal relationship with Thayumanavan. So I have removed the {{autobiography}} tag. --ColinFine (talk) 16:51, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What does this paragraph even mean?

Thayumanavan’s early work involved contributions to the design, syntheses, and self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic homopolymers.[5][6] His research uses molecular design principles from physical organic chemistry to synthetic chemistry and supramolecular polymer chemistry for applications in materials and biomedicine.[4]

LSwiki092018, this seems to say the same thing twice and doesn't make much sense. Leave out all the public relations words like "focus", "founded in", "alongside the toolsets of" and write in plain English. Better to leave this all out and write what he did in those papers.

StarryGrandmaI will update as above. Thanks for catching this.LSwiki092018 (talk) 01:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma I have updated. Could the tag now be removed please? Your help is much appreciated.LSwiki092018 (talk) 01:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma I have updated the paragraph in simple English and removed the repetition. Please review and let me know if the tag could now be taken off of the article. LSwiki092018 (talk) 01:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma I see the tag is now removed. Thanks for your review and your review helped understand the process of writing a wiki article. Thanks a lot for being more specific.LSwiki092018 (talk) 01:31, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that paragraph is much better. You can put your signature at the end of comments by typing ~~~~. StarryGrandma (talk) 01:10, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma Thank you again LSwiki092018 (talk) 01:31, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma I fixed the links and references to wikipage to address the Orphan page tag. Could this tag please be taken off now.

It has been a while that StarryGrandma has taken care of the orphan page tag concerns, any timeline for this tag to be removed from the article? LSwiki092018 (talk) 23:10, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a photo

Now I wanted to know how to insert a valid photo. Can I use from the university or request one from the subject of the article and use it LSwiki092018 (talk) 16:01, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LSwiki092018, you can add a photo but copyright is very important here. The only one who can give Wikipedia permission to use the photo is the person who took the photo, not the person in the photo. The university public relations department may have a photo for which they have the copyright. The copyright holder needs to understand the types of licenses Wikipedia uses - they allow commercial reuse. Have them read c: Commons:First steps/License selection.

It is best to have the copyright holder or their representative upload the photo. See the instructions at c:Commons:First steps/Uploading files. If they don't want to make an account and do the upload, you can do that part. They would then go to c:Commons:Wikimedia OTRS release generator and follow the instructions. They will need to know the link to the image you uploaded. This will produce a release as described at c:Commons:Email templates.

I have only done this once and didn't find it easy. Can you make arrangements to take a picture yourself? That would be simpler. StarryGrandma (talk) 07:08, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "orphan" tag

LSwiki092018, the orphan tag is a new one, not the one I removed. It means that no other articles in Wikipedia link to this one. See WP:Orphan for an explanation. StarryGrandma (talk) 19:27, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

StarryGrandma, I have taken care of the orphan page. could the tag be removed now please? LSwiki092018 (talk) 19:28, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
