Needs to be Expanded

If someone has time can they please expand this article. Also, will link Lee Cronin into Yourk Uni notable alumni. Charles Calthrope (talk) 00:59, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if anyone has information on the new Cronin wing, his date of birth or anything else relevant please post here so I can get rid of the stub status for this article.

I wanted to add a link to the Regius Chair of Chemistry wiki. Apologies in advance as I am unfamiliar with talk pages and this comment is surely not in the correct place. JZ 29.01.23

Controversy

Any insult, alleged or not, is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the University is on record as officially stating that he was suspended. Please stop trying to obfuscate the issue. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this, the RSC are on record on reseach professional about a suspension due to a breach of conduct "Top chemist suspended by Royal Society of Chemistry". Research Professional. 15 July 2022. Retrieved 27 July 2022.

It seems that the full announcement from RSC was included in RSC's monthly newsletter "Update", however currently full details of the complaint don't seem to have been made public.

Any suspension from a learned society such as the RSC seems notable for inclusion, as long as it can be properly sourced.

Note: I have found a picture on twitter of the disciplinary proceedings notice from the RSC update but I am reluctant to link it here.

The Twitter image had been present; @Nick Moyes: replaced the image with the article from the Herald on 16 July. Seems to me that the three references together would be sufficient. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:28, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't include the twitter image as the reliability of twitter as a source is questionable (which is also why I was reluctant to link it here). The other two sources should be sufficient. Carver1889 (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think this controversy is not controversey. It appears Cronin as the victim of a bullying campaign and there was a lot of noise on twitter by three people to ensure this got picked up by the newspaper and the reserach fortnight. It seems a 3rd party exploited the RSC complaints procedure to attack Prof for a personal and private statement. This is all I could piece together but it seems rather odd that wikipedia propagates this. Was Cronin suspended for 3 months? Yes. Will that be removed at some point? Something tells me it will. Should wiki be propagating all this noise? I don't think so. Also, as written the suspension is currently factual so why is it under the heading 'Controversy' if not to bring attention and continue the bulling against the Prof. I therefore think this should be removed until we know more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfienoakes (talk • contribs) 21:50, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
