• 02:3602:36, 30 March 2020 diff hist −39 Robert R. Redfield Copy edit. Removed stray characters from citation title.
• 02:3302:33, 30 March 2020 diff hist +16 Robert R. Redfield →Early life and education: Dealt with a continuity issue, and removed passive voice.
• 02:1402:14, 30 March 2020 diff hist +389 Robert R. Redfield Noting lack of citation support for DOB. Also, reproducing this yet-to-be-established fact (and his full name, with its citation) to the main body, so that the lead summarises the article. Tag: possible unreferenced addition to BLP
• 01:5801:58, 30 March 2020 diff hist +23 Robert R. Redfield →Early life and education: Same issue as elsewhere, see earlier edit summary—bios at university sites are self-generated by the faculty member (here, Redfield), and do not comply with third-party sourcing requirements of WP:VERIFY.
• 01:5501:55, 30 March 2020 diff hist +277 Robert R. Redfield Thank you to ReFill and copy editors! Moved content toward more standard formats and less editorializing content. Removed redundant appearances of citations. Removed editorializing in the combined Career section (see following). Noting Career and Awards sections need third-party sources. Made Career section clearly chronological. Moved redundant statements and citations regarding the controversy, into the section devoted to the issue.
• 00:0700:07, 30 March 2020 diff hist +16 Robert R. Redfield Placing this note to make clear that the title subject's bio pages at his places of employment are self-generated content, and not independent, third-party biographical sources. The article needs to move in the direct of independent sources. NOTE ALSO: despite bot-generated comments that citations were removed from a BLP article, the opposite is true—all work here is to improve citation quality, formats, and accuracy of appearing text to cited content.

• 23:4923:49, 29 March 2020 diff hist +15 Robert R. Redfield Corrected a mistake made earlier, not realizing the presence of cited sources in the bibliography. The first sentence is supported, while the second sentence remains unclear, and so remains with an inline tag.
• 23:4523:45, 29 March 2020 diff hist +14 Robert R. Redfield noting presence of bare URLs, so ReFill team can address the issue. (Thanks in advance.)
• 23:4423:44, 29 March 2020 diff hist +1,762 Robert R. Redfield →HIV vaccine controversy: I came to improve citns, not to discover a neutrality issue, but it's here. Section is (i) far over-written and poorly sourced, citing whole books without pg nos for whole paragraphs, etc., and (ii) misrepresentative, omitting key details/perspectives, incl. that Birx was first author of refereed 27-author Phase II trial study. Issue was not Redfield believing in vaccine (many still do). It was he might have selectively presented inital data, too positvely. Tags: possible BLP issue or vandalism possible unreferenced addition to BLP
• 22:1822:18, 29 March 2020 diff hist +30 Robert R. Redfield →HIV vaccine controversy: Noting book citation lacking page number. Given that it is the only, and an importance citation, it must have page number.
• 22:1122:11, 29 March 2020 diff hist −9 Robert R. Redfield →Background: The "reference" that appeared earlier was no reference at all—so incomplete as to be utterly untraceable. (Do the diff if you do not believe.) So nothing in this section is trustworthy, per WP:VERIFY.
