Hi--

I'm completely new to the protocols of Wikipedia, but I was wondering if my entry could be amended to include an award I just won. The details are here: http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=10012007b

Best,

Can someone a little more wiki-savvy than I update the article with info on Mr. Zimmer's newest award? The 2009 AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Award in the large newspaper category. http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2009/1110sja.shtml12.157.246.142 (talk) 08:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added it to the list. I'm not sure if the Kavli Science Journalism Award is different than the Science Journalism Award he won in 2004, so I've entered as it is. If somebody knows more, it could stand to be updated. The Mink Ermine Fox (talk) 03:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there--

Since Wikipedia has become something of a universal CV, I wanted to take a moment to point out a few corrections and updates, if that's okay.

1. In the first paragraph of the Career section it says my most recent award was in 2007. In fact, my most recent award was in 2012--the AAAS Kavli award mentioned in the list of awards.

2. I've been a lecturer at Yale University since 2009.

3. In the Career paragraph, the location of my blog is no longer correct. My blog moved in December 2012 to National Geographic: http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/blog/the-loom/ (The link in the external links is also no longer correct)

4. I stopped doing the Meet the Science podcast in 2010.

5. In the second paragraph of the career section, there is an error: I did not start freelancing for Natural History after graduating from college. I started science writing when I joined Discover in 1989. After I left Discover in 1999, I began to write a column for Natural History and also began to write for other publications, such as National Geographic and the New York Times.

6. In my bibliography, I've published a more recent book: Evolution: Making Sense of Life (2012), co-authored with Douglas Emlen ISBN: 1936221179

Many thanks! --Carl Zimmer

Hi editors,

I aim at expanding the page of Carl Zimmer and for doing so, I will eventually work on it in my sandbox for some time. To not double anybodies work, please make me aware of any such effort presently going on. If you come across anything you want to include onto his page, please let me know here and I will include it, or please wait a couple of weeks that I make my edits live. I hope this is fine with you all, and thank you for your patience! :)

Hi Matjaz. Sorry, I added a few photos before reading this entry. It is just some training I am doing to become a Wikipedia editor. Feel free to delete any and all changes I have made. gapcarey —Preceding undated comment added 04:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience, I have finally finished the rewrite! Forgot to write a summary of my final edit.
