Same name as mathematician

This guy has the same name as a mathematician who was the director of the Max-Planck institute and has written some books on non-linear functional analysis and quantum field theory. Should he have his own article? Furby100 (talk) 17:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I came here looking for the mathematician, so I think yes. 202.36.179.66 (talk) 23:41, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Same. Hence: Agreed. Gulliveig (talk) 12:44, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then start Eberhard Zeidler (mathematician) already. A.Roz (talk) 02:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bauhaus?

Erm, Guys, do you really think he studied at the Bauhaus? It operated from 1919 to 1933. Mr. Zeidler was 7 then... 188.96.245.124 (talk) 15:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

corrected. --ΠΣΟ˚ (talk) 17:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that he first Bauhaus was opened in Weimar in 1919, then shut down by the Nazis in 1933. However there was a second Bauhaus that the East German Communists opened shortly after the Second World. The Communists then discovered that, like the Nazis, they don't like people with open minds who don't preach the party line. So the second Bauhaus was shut down within 2 to 3 years. Eb Zeidler had to flee to the West with a fellow Bauhaus student when his Professor was discovered to be writing a book critical to the East German Regime. (I have met Herr Heubener, who escaped with Eb across the Inter-German border, when I was in my thirties and heard the whole fascinating story.) Eb then went to Karlsruhe to finish his studies.

Concerns about deletion of about 90% of the content on this page - 11 days ago

Approximately 90% of the content on this page was removed on January 17 2021 by Lettler. It was reverted to the version edited by Mindmatrix 19 October 2019. There have been 27 edits since then. The vast majority by a student - ChimentiS - from Ryerson University as part of a course assignment. I see it was edited by his/her instructor, several times. That course was done through the Wikipedia Education Program. I wondered why all this material would be completely deleted? It says "neutrality problems". What were those problems?--Bricks+mortar (talk) 01:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

There are two problems:

  • The citation given for the hook is okay, but not in the article itself. The wrong URL seems to have been used for reference 4 - it is the same as reference 1, so it does not match the description.
  • Large slabs of text have been copied from the source at www.metalocus.es/en/news/ryerson-university-student-learning-centre-snohetta-zeidler, which is a serious copyright violation and must be fixed or removed immediately. For example, the following is identical in the article to the source:

"Zeidler first joined an architectural firm with Blackwell and Craig in Peterborough, Ontario. He later relocated to Toronto in 1963 and worked for the firm became Craig, Zeidler and Strong until 1975. One of the essential elements of his early works is his employment of striking interior atrium space, which became widespread on an international level during the 1970s. Moreover, his experience in the Bauhaus school made him familiar with the technological matters in building design. These included structural and mechanical services (most notably, exposed air-handling ducts), as well as aspects that ease movement and communication. This was exemplified in the McMaster University Health Science Centre, his breakthrough project, which was meant to resemble a large construction set for children. The building utilized regular geometric building modules, coupled with glazed service and circulation towers, internally exposed steel trusses, ducts, and an automated materials delivery system. Most of Zeidler's structures were public buildings."

Apart from that:

  • Article is new enough (5x expanded on 8 January, nominated on 12 January), long enough (4429 characters/ 723 words readable prose size), is neutrally worded, has adequate inline citations (except for the problem noted).
  • The hook is correctly formatted, suitable length, inoffensive, and agrees with the source.Gronk Oz (talk) 08:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gronk Oz: I submit that it was metalocus.es that copied off Wikipedia (not the other way around). I had never come across that website until now. When making this edit, I based the info off Zeidler's Canadian Encyclopedia entry (ref 1). Lastly, I've fixed the URL for ref 4. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @BlueMoonset, Maile66, and Valereee: is there any way for me to prove that I did not copy off metalocus.es, and that it was instead they that copied off Wikipedia? I haven't had any copyvio issues in my 10 years of nominating DYKs, so this comes as quite a surprise. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:54, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gronk Oz: not surprised by that because I checked Earlwig's after your first comment. That one is easier to refute – their article is dated January 12, 2022. The first major edits I made to the article was on January 11 (UTC). —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bloom6132: I am not familiar with "earwig" - is that something that can sort out the problem for us? I would like to put this to bed quickly.Gronk Oz (talk) 09:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @
    AGF
    and approve the DYK. Oh, I also verified the change to Reference 4 is right now.
  • Thanks very much for delving into that, Gronk Oz! Earwig is the Copyvio Detector in the DYK toolbox (on the top right panel of DYK noms). Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
