Comment: @Ldm1954 Author here! Thank you for your clear feedback. I have adressed it as follows: (i) "many things like directing research is WP:MILL" => removed Section "Education and Career". (ii) "The awards are all minor" => Added new Section "Impact on Augmented Reality Research" to clarify community impact. (iii) Additionally, I have improved the quality of references. Looking forward to your feedback! 15:37, 27 Feb 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The awards are all minor, and many things like directing research is WP:MILL. It is too soon, I suggest waiting a few years. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:11, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: @MCE89 Author here! Thank you for your feedback. I have revised the article according to your suggestions. Copyvio now only detects as duplicated text the name of conference venues; but, this is impossible to avoid.
- Comment: @NeoGaze Thanks for flagging the copied text! Just for future reference, even if the person who added text to Wikipedia is also the original author, we still can't accept anything that has previously been published elsewhere unless it's been released under a compatible license. Since this text was first published on Sandor's website, he still holds the copyright and would need to go through the steps at WP:DONATETEXT to license it in order for us to be able to use it.

- Comment: For the reviewer, a part of this draft features copypasted text from this subject's own website, but since he's also the creator of the draft it doesn't appear to be violating copyright. NeoGaze (talk) 19:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, I disclose that I have a conflict of interest regarding the subject of this article. ChristianSandor (talk) 12:33, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
