Merit?

I'm not sure I agree that this person is notable enough to merit a wikipedia page. Thoughts? Quanticles 04:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. He does not have any awards or other recognition that would warrant notability. It seems that either Vijay Pande himself or one of his students wrote this article no doubt to over-inflate his reputation and increase his business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Habitmeansrve05015 (talk • contribs) 15:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. I have improved the article and added some solid citations. I believe this issue is fixed.

I am parted here. Pande clearly has NOT revolutionized simulation methodology per se; He actually claimed himself in one of the last ACS meetings that the use of 'infinitely' long simulations will hopefully give us THE answer but really all that has been published so far is entirely due to the development of hardware and by relying on the core principles of statistical thermodynamics, i.e. without the use and the development of improved sampling and improved energy calculations. Those, however, have NOT changed in their substance since Boltzmann killed himself in 1906! If this brute force approach will make him famous remains to be seen in maybe 20 years time, but for now I would say that this article is highly biased, was clearly written by someone who has more than a close connection to him (and probably has been visiting Pande at home given the info in the biography, which by Wikipedia standards is ?irrelevant? ) and has not deserved anything else than stub. Wikipedia should really be here for the Folding@Home project, not for some guy who thinks he is super important for having done something that has not met its days of serious validation yet. — Preceding unsigned comment by Aikomatsu (talk) added by Jesse V.

Everything that is in the article comes from citations, you can follow them and confirm. I very much doubt that he said that, please provide a link to a video, audio recording, or a transcript, because that doesn't make any sense to me. The publications which discuss Folding@home's MSMs methodology do get technical and sometimes lose me, but it is clear that they use improved sampling and things like that. It's far from brute-force. As you can see, I am the primary author of this article, both in the number of edits, and the amount of text changed in the article. I am excited about Folding@home yes, but I'm also aware of Wikipedia's policies regarding citations and
WP:COI. I have emailed him, I have discussed things with him on foldingforum.org, but I have not visited him in person, and even if I did, I wouldn't include information from that meeting because I wouldn't have a citation. The article has way more information, organization, and references than stub-class articles usually do, so I disagree with you there. The Folding@home is a Good Article and gets hundreds of views per day. As for "serious validation", here's a relevant citation for you: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21897&p=218857#p218857. If you have further suggestions on what should be changed in the article, I'd be happy as always to hear them. I'll still need to rely on citations as usual. • Jesse V.(talk) 17:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply

Age at graduation

It states that he was born in 1970 and graduated high school in 1992. He would be 21-22 is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.180.121.113 (talk) 21:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt this. The information put there I believe was by some IP and didn't include any citations. I was unable to confirm high school information except on Wikipedia mirrors which don't count. Thus I have removed the incited material. I also have improved the article, but I didn't include any information on Data of Birth. However, the accurate material now present can be used to infer his DoB.
