@Kalifah001: First what? —C.Fred (talk) 21:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 21:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

False Information[edit]

No trustworthy source has claimed that Sen died on October 10 2023. The only source is for this is from an account impersonating Claudia Goldin. Archelon7 (talk) 11:56, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The same account has now tweeted 'This account is hoax created by Italian journalist Tommaso Debenedetti.' Archelon7 (talk) 12:03, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Amartya Sen's children[edit]

Amartya Sen has four children, Nandana, Antara, Kabir, and Indrani, but only two are named. Would it be possible to add all four names to the article? It seems like it might be rather hurtful to leave two off. PhoebeHarvardEcon (talk) 20:35, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @PhoebeHarvardEcon: if the other children are not notable in their own right then Wikipedia does not generally add the names. In this case, two of the children have their own articles and two don't. I hope this helps, Knitsey (talk) 20:48, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 October 2023[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

If unable to provide references, please remove "Nationality" in the right info block and change Citizenship: United States to Citizenship: India (or Republic of India).

As of this writing Prof Sen is is listed in the information block as:

Nationality: Indian Citizenship: United States

It would be news if he changed his citizenship in his 80's from Indian to US. India does not permit dual citizenship. The most recent reference I could find is a 2013 CV at Harvard, which says he's Indian.

https://scholar.harvard.edu/sites/scholar.harvard.edu/files/sen/files/cv_sen_amartya_jan2013_0.pdf

It's also peculiar, even if common in the US and maybe elsewhere, to strike a difference between "nationality" and "citizenship" at all. 73.165.59.32 (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done since both are unsourced. Anyone can re-add the appropriate citizenship along with a WP:RS. RegentsPark (comment) 16:26, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
