Talk:Lera Boroditsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Notability
According to Wikipedia Gudline the subject of a biography article should be above the level of an average University Professor. She is obviously not lower than this level as she is a University professor. Please provide any data showing that she is above the level (e.g. she discovered such and such phenomenon or she was the first woman teaching pschycology at Stanford or whatever) abakharev 11:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Also, references are required that establish this notability, i.e, biographical remarks published elsewhere. Personal website in insufficient. See wikipedia:no original research and Wikipedia:verifiability policies. mikka (t) 23:34, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

- Information has been added showing profiles of this person in the popular media. <unsigned>

Added information reported in the Boston Globe that she was 23 when she got her first faculty job at MIT.
I appreciate an attempt to add info. But professor's notability (unless it is something scandalous) is judged by professional reviews, not by articles in newspapers. mikka (t) 07:20, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
A listing of some of her scholarly peer-reviewed articles has been added. <unsigned>
- What is necessary is articles about her, not by her. Wikipedians don't have evaluete her acadmic merits. Someone else reputable must do this and publish somewhere. mikka (t) 19:34, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Russian/ Soviet psychological research
I believe I know something about the history of the Russian psychological school. I do not think Dr. Boroditsky qualifies as the representative of this school of thought. I am erasing the category of "Russian psychologists", sorry. Yasya 15:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
