Hi GeogSage. Thank you for writing very correctly about Technical Geography, about Geographia Technica and for mentioning me, Prof. Ionel Haidu. Indeed, the core concept is autocorrelation and frequency, both at the spatial scale and at the temporal scale, and from here derive all the characteristics specific to the geographical space. I would like to ask you to make a Wikipedia page about me because I have no experience and you already know me. Please very nicely! I will accept the conditions that you will set. Regards, Ionel. ionel.haidu@univ-lorraine.fr Ionel.Haidu (talk) 18:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the message! I've obviously read some of your work and appreciate your advancement of the term technical geography. The term came up in a course I was teaching and resonated with me, so I did a deep dive into the literature. Wikipedia pages I create are the result of literature dives for my work, and are essentially my notes on the topics made public. I'm glad that you approve of the page for that particular term, as I've put a lot of work into it (particularly regarding its history).

You (Ionel Haidu) are already on my list of people to create a page for, but I have struggled to find enough outside literature to put a full page together. The best source on your background is the university website here, but that isn't enough to pass the requirements for notability for academics, which you can read about here . Your Scopus h-index is 12, which likely wouldn't be enough to justify a page on based on criteria 1 "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." You may pass on criteria 8, which is "The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area," but I'd prefer to have a big more meat and sources before making an article to avoid it being a stub with two citations, and one of those citations being your university page. I have tried to find a third party verification of the award on your website for the "Annual Prize of the Romanian Academy for Geography," which might satisfy criteria 2 of "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." but have not been able to find one yet. If you have any third party links to biographic information, awards, or anything of that nature, that would be appreciated (I believe some of this material might be missed by only using English in queries). I reached out to some of the projects to make sure your request is documented and how to note it if necessary, but I don't think it will be an issue if I can get access to solid 3rd party sources.
