Talk:Jay Ruderman

I added a link from the set index for the Ruderman surname, so this article no longer officially meets the "orphan" criteria. I didn't remove the tag, though, as there is potential for this article to be linked from articles about subjects such as ableism. I did not want this article to fall from the radar screen of benefiting from being the target of additional links. Kekki1978 (talk) 13:51, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

At least one contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:41, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

And appears to be still dominating the editing here. --Hipal (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Seemingly a continued problem from the conflict of interest post above, this entry amounts to a plethora of boastful claims and is a clear hagiography to the individual supported by SPAs. Looks like there could be some heavy lifting here to eliminate the high, high level of promotionalism. 75.157.103.21 (talk) 20:03, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

• I strongly disagree. Compared to other, similar pages, this page has minimal information and all of it is sourced. See for example [Schusterman] or [Bronfman]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.90.71.237 (talk) 17:34, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I've worked up a more encyclopedic draft for this page. If it looks good, please post it live. You will see that I've maintained most of the content, though removed the fluff, restructured the sections, and added some stronger sources.

• Changed "Biography" to "Early life and education"
• Created "Career" section with subsections and restructured the existing content under the relevant subsections
• Tightened the language in the "Israeli-American Jewish relations" and "Disability rights" subsections
• Added Ruderman's podcast, "All About Change"
• Changed "Awards and recognition" to a bulleted list, and put in chronological order
