All this university learning and not one reference Victuallers 20:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I have trimmed the article down to appropriate emphasis and removed some of the PR. This is an encyclopedia. We do not mention his name in every paragraph. We do not repeat the titles of his books four times. We do not quote from the publisher's blurbs. we do not refer to unpublished tributes by his distinguished colleagues on the publisher's site, only published reviews in Reliable sources (and we cite them from the original, not the publishers web site.) We do not include laudatory adjectives. If he has professional publication other than the books, we refer to them. We put websites in External links, not references. We include some personal details, but he is nowhere near important enough for the names of his parents to go in the infobox.

I made a start at these changes. There is a considerable way to go. I call attention to WP:COI. DGG (talk) 22:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
