Self-written vanity page; don't see how this meets

WP:PROF. Reads more like an academic CV, no indication that this individual is particularly notable within their field. See also this afd. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply

"

This is where Uwe Kils comes in. Dr. Kils is an associate professor of planktology in the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, at Rutgers University. A few years ago, he was asked to donate one of his images of plankton to Wikipedia. He liked the project so much that he decided to donate over two hundred of his scientific images to the encyclopedia [10]. Like Dr. Kils, there are thousands of Wikipedia users around the world that contribute images to the encyclopedia.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Tomopteriskils.jpg

Figure 1: Image of a Tomopterus, by Prof. Uwe Kils. Photograph donated to Wikipedia by the author. similar to traditional, printed sources such as the expert-created Columbia Encyclopedia, in terms of formality and language standardization. They attribute this phenomenon to the high degree of post-production editorial control afforded by Wikipedia—for instance, the ability to easily edit other’s entries."

some editor even took off his image from fisheries biology before the vote was done. uwe and his photographers and models like mikki uploaded over 8000 photographs and donated over 40 000 dollars. uwe is extreme angry, such a treatment he has never experienced in his whole life. beeing banned for a week only for asking to put the right author tags on six of our high resolution photographs. copyright violation is a crime, also in the usa. he had to fight with editors who did not disclose their name nor education nor books nor publicatiions. uwe wrote over 300 publications 30 books, raised 500 students, all but dr. thethmeier, dr. waller live outside germany and are millionaires, most billionaires and over 20 000 over internet. uwes secretary chandra will email you soon. have a nice day user vikings Vikings (talk) 09:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC) — Vikings (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

His incredible (over 40 000) photographs found mention in an article about wikipedia http://www.research.ibm.com/visual/papers/viegas_hicss_visual_wikipedia.pdf

  • Keep So far as I can see from the article he is of note. Rather more so than the Assistant Professors of Economics (appointed in 2007) and so on that we get. This looks like achievement, not puff. Can I just suggest that the supporters keep their contributions here well below dissertation length - if they're short and sharp more people will read them. And someone can take care of that 'citation needed', I hope. Peridon (talk) 18:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His students love him: "The teacher was excellent, funny + entertaining as well as informative + intellectual - the computer Interaction!", " This was the best class I've taken at RUTGERS so far.", "I enjoyed the enthusiasm with with Uwe gave the lectures. Once Uwe started his lectures, three hours went by in five minutes.", "This was my favourite course of my 3 years at RUTGERS.", "Dr. Kils encouraged students to become acquainted with other aspects of science - photography and computers. When he saw a weakness in the class's knowledge, he tried to fill it. He was also very pleasant personally - and a pleasure to greet every Friday morning", "I don't think I could be so nice and positive on such a regular basis".

It is the dream of any scientist to have her name in NATURE or SCIENCE. His was in both.

His students are allowed to publish without his name on. All his publications are sold out.

He programmed the virtual microscope. he has own web servers and does not need space on wikipedia, see FOTO KILS http://web.archive.org/web/20001019164813/www.ecoscope.com/fotokils.htm and on his university servers http://web.archive.org/web/20010803121250/krill.rutgers.edu/uwe/

have a nice day

  • Keep one the basis of his scholarly achievements and research, whose citaion is well documented here. Influential scientists, regardless of how obnoxiously self-aggrandizing they are, if their actual influence within their field can be documented, are notable. As you can tell, I find his begging for us to keep his article as a legacy to his family nauseating, self-serving and gross, his claims that all the money he gave should afford him special treatment somewhere between laughable and unethical, and all his behavior on wikipedia a colossal waste of time and AGF, to all be reasons to personally vote delete, if only for self-satisfying vindictiveness. However, on the basis of pollicy, I think his notability is well established. ThuranX (talk) 06:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.D.: I notice that he also got a
Heisenberg Programme [2], either a fellowship or a professorship. By the way, those are two red links which should have stubs created on them. --Enric Naval (talk) 10:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply
