Talk:Bashir Al-Hashimi

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I recommend Professor Bashir Al-Hashimi's Wikipedia page reflects the revised faculty title of the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. Please see the URL: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes RLB at King's College (talk) 15:49, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

I am hoping to follow up on my recommendation that the Faculty title is updated in line with the above request. The new title is the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. Please see the URL: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmes RLB at King's College (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

No reservations raised so revised Faculty title published. RLB at King's College (talk) 10:23, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Noting Al-Hashimi's updated Faculty title is Executive Dean and he is still affiliated to University of Southampton so suggesting these amends. We should also now (more accurately) refer to the Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship under Awards.

Professor Al-Hashimi has now completed his 3-year term as a Royal Academy of Engineering Trustee. In appointments section, recommend revising to: Bashir was an Elected Trustee of the Royal Academy of Engineering Board for a 3-year term to September 2024.RLB at King's College (talk) 11:13, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Please provide a source for the requested change. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 04:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Please see link to the refreshed Royal Academy of Engineering Trustee Board membership list. https://raeng.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are/trustee-board-governance-committees-and-operating-committees/trustee-board

Prof. Al-Hashimi is no longer listed as one of the trustees. Citation 40 notes election in September 2021 and his three year term has expired (Sept 2024). RLB at King's College (talk) 07:55, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

This is a primary source, and does not indicate his term has ended. Can you provide a reliable, secondary source indicating that Al-Hashimi's term has ended? Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 20:00, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I think the best secondary source would be: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/professor-bashir-al-hashimi

Para 4 of the biographical summary refers. RLB at King's College (talk) 17:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Will this suggested secondary source be sufficient do you think? Thanks again. RLB at King's College (talk) 08:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done: That is a non-independent source, likely either written by the subject or written based on material provided by the subject. It is therefore inadmissible. Axad12 (talk) 07:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. This status update is referenced independently on another external organisation's website, i.e. The Royal Society here: https://royalsociety.org/people/bashir-al-hashimi-36251/

Re-request to update page with new citation. In appointments section, recommend revising to: Bashir was an Elected Trustee of the Royal Academy of Engineering Board for a 3-year term to September 2024. The end of the term is corroborated independently by the external Royal Society website, where he is also a Fellow. This will make the narrative more up-to-date.
