Hello, I am James Elsner, the subject of this article. I am posting here in accordance with Wikipedia’s guidelines on conflicts of interest and do not plan to edit the article directly.

I would like to propose two factual updates to improve the accuracy and completeness of the article:

1. **Add family information:**

  Under the infobox or in a relevant biographical section, please add:  
  > Children: Diana (Didi) Elsner

2. **Highlight scientific contribution:**

  In the “Career” or “Research” section, I suggest adding a sentence such as:  
  > Elsner’s research has contributed to understanding the link between climate change and tropical cyclone intensity. His 2008 paper in *Nature* presented statistical evidence that the most intense tropical cyclones globally are becoming stronger, a finding that continues to inform IPCC assessments and national climate reports.  
  **Source:**  
  - Elsner, J. B., Kossin, J. P., & Jagger, T. H. (2008). *The increasing intensity of the strongest tropical cyclones*. *Nature*, 455(7209), 92–95. (https://doi.org/10.1038/nature07234)

Please let me know if I can clarify or support these suggestions with additional information. Thank you for your consideration. JamesElsner (talk) 10:04, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my earlier suggestions. I’d like to respectfully clarify and resubmit them with additional secondary sourcing:

1. **Add family detail**

Please include:

> **Children:** Diana Elsner

This is factual and non‑controversial, consistent with similar academic biographies.

2. **Add summary of scientific contribution**

I propose adding the following sentence to the “Career” or “Research” section:

> Elsner’s research has contributed significantly to understanding the relationship between climate change and hurricane activity. His 2008 article in *Nature* (Elsner et al. 2008) provided early statistical evidence that the most intense tropical cyclones are increasing in strength. This finding was independently confirmed in media coverage and is directly cited in IPCC assessment literature.

• • Sources:**

- *Elsner, J. B., Kossin, J. P., & Jagger, T. H.* (2008). *The increasing intensity of the strongest tropical cyclones*. *Nature*, 455, 92–95. doi:10.1038/nature07234.

- ScienceDaily news coverage referencing an independent analysis that “strongly confirms” the paper’s results :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

- IPCC reports citing the paper in their scientific assessments :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

I believe this enhances the neutrality, verifiability, and completeness of the article. Thank you for your time and consideration. JamesElsner (talk) 11:41, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

This is unambiguous promotional and advertising. –Inimn _(Talk) 11:44, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
