Research

[edit]

Has this guy ever published serious research papers? Has he ever been granted tenure or a professorship? Why is black spelled with a small b? I thought when talking about race, it's to be spelled with a capital B as in Black? The articles appears to be written by someone who does not know what he's talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.249.187.117 (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article lists his many papers and honors. In wikipedia capitalization follows the pattern of the sources. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure Tyson had no say over whether or not 'Black' was capitalized in the article written about him. Anyway, style guides, including Wikipedia, are mixed on this. CWenger (^@) 02:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unverifiable paragraph in "Race and social justice"

[edit]

The section "Race and social justice" has four paragraphs. The first three deal with race issues with broadly similar content. The first of these, the very first paragraph, has two sources but neither one is viable. One is a link to a youtube account that is not active. The second is a dead link with archive content in Adobe flash: it does not render.

I am going to delete the first paragraph as not consistent with WP:VERIFY. It's not critical either. Johnjbarton (talk) 20:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
