Talk:Walter Russell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Passive Voice

There is way, way too much passive voice in this article, making it impossible to verify any details, example:

  • "...was once touted as.." An interested editor needs to rewrite this fragment to specify who did the touting, when they did it, where and then to provide that source in a references section
  • "it was his work in physics and energy which created an uproar ". An uproar from whom? What was the work? What form did the uproar take. Once again, provide a source.
  • "which has not been confirmed by hard science" Why? Has anyone tried to confirm it and failed? Or is no one interested?
  • "Russell was the subject of a biography by Glenn Clark which has almost a cult following today." Why not simply list the book in a references section. And why does it have a cult following?
  • "sometimes gets his work banned from university curricula." Which universities banned his work? Why? Listing at least some of them gives the reader a better chance of verifying the details in this article.
  • "Described as a "musician, illustrator, portrait painter, architectural designer, sculptor, business practices advisor to employees of International Business Machines, champion figure skater, natural scientist, philosopher and author" Who describes him this way? Clark? Why not say so.

Thanx.
