Corrections and removal

How to fix your profile, or ask not to be listed

This is an independent, non-commercial directory. The data is compiled automatically from public sources (arXiv, OpenAlex, zbMATH, the Mathematics Genealogy Project, and Wikidata), so some entries carry errors: a wrong affiliation, an out-of-date institution, a confused identity where two researchers share a surname, or an inclusion that does not reflect a researcher's own sense of their work. We want the record to be accurate and respectful, and we act on every message.

Suggest a correction

If anything on your profile is wrong, for example your institution, country, active years, doctoral advisor, external links, or the way your name is shown, email admin@wwigr.org with the detail and it will be fixed, usually within a few days. Corrections to the underlying data carry through on the next rebuild.

Request removal

Inclusion here is based on a public-data heuristic, not on any claim about how you see your own work. Any researcher who would prefer not to be listed can email admin@wwigr.org and will be removed promptly, no explanation required. Removal takes that researcher out of the ranking and deletes their profile page.

Question the method

If you think the list includes the wrong people, or misses someone, that feedback is welcome too. The ranking method, and its known limitations, are described on the Methodology page. Reasoned disagreement about who counts as working on the Goldbach conjecture is exactly the kind of input that improves the directory.

Every message to admin@wwigr.org is read and acted on by a person.
