Draft:Paul Pangaro
| Submission declined on 11 November 2024 by Ldm1954 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

| Submission declined on 19 October 2024 by Jamiebuba (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Jamiebuba 8 months ago. | |
Comment: With his weak Google Scholar publication record it is hard to justify him as notable. Does he have major awards, these matter. Also, please remove all the bragging (WP:PEACOCK), that is not allowed. For instance terms like "significant contributions", "influential" and similar. Last, unreferenced blogs are not reliable sources, for instance the both 6 & 7 and maybe others. Ldm1954 (talk) 17:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Thanks for the comments. I based the content from the pages I referenced. I’ll see where to improve. In the talk page I asked for feedback as I thought I followed the guidelines and tried to be neutral. Thank you. ~~~

Paul Pangaro is an American designer, technologist, and educator known for his work in cybernetics, conversation theory, and human-computer interaction. Pangaro has made contributions to the fields of interaction design, cybernetics and organizational strategy. He has received two awards by the American Society for Cybernetics for his impact and lifetime career achievement in cybernetics and systems.[1]
He is a Professor of Practice in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Before that he was an Associate Professor and Chair of the MFA Interaction Design program at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit (2010–2015). He was also a lecturer at Stanford University (1988–2000). Besides academia, he had technology director roles at Idealab, London (2000–2001) and Sun Microsystems (1987–1997).
Pangaro served as president of American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) and was past trustee.[2][3]
Early Life and Education
[edit]Paul Pangaro was born in 1950 in Massachusetts, USA. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Humanities from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1972. Pangaro later earned his Ph.D. in Cybernetics from Brunel University in London, where he studied under Gordon Pask, a pioneer in cybernetics and conversation theory.[4][5][6]
Contributions to Cybernetics and Design
[edit]Pangaro's contributions to the field of cybernetics have been focused on the concept of "conversation" as a fundamental process for design, problem-solving, and organizational change.[7]
Contributions in these domains include:
- The concept of "designing for conversation" which is the application of cybernetic principles to human-computer interaction. [8][9] While most work in this field tends to only look at the technical interface between the 'human' and the 'machine', Paul Pangaro, Hugh Dubberly, Peter Jones, Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores among others are the few who go beyond the user interface (icons, buttons, webpage layout and navigation) to consider all types of interaction, feedback, ethics, and learning. [10][11]
- The use of conversation theory in designing digital systems and organizational processes. This looks at words and concepts used in organizations, what they reflect, imply, constrain or support innovation. [12]
Recognitions
[edit]Pangaro's recognitions to the field of Cybernetics include:
- Receiving the McCulloch Award (2014) for "achieving significant impact in the community". [1]
- Awarded ASC Fellow for a "lifetime career achievement in cybernetics and systems" (2009). [1]
