I have inserted some citations and undertaken general copyediting, but the tone is far from encyclopedic and needs to be revised. I have also addressed the judgmental, moralistic tone (especially regarding drug use) in the article, as it is inappropriate.--Soulparadox (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

The tone of the article is not suitable for Wikipedia and substantial segments have been removed as a result. The writing seems to have been lifted from a biography but there is no reference cited.--Soulparadox (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citations URGENTLY needed! edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have finally completed the copyediting of this article and encountered two main issues: firstly, the tone of the article was inappropriate as the article was written like a friend or fan's account of Peterson's life, and also included inappropriate content that was often irrelevant; secondly, the content seemed to have been derived from a book or biography of Peterson's life but there are no corresponding internal citations.

Now that the tone issue has been resolved, the article really needs citations, as there is a lot of information that needs to be verified. If anyone owns a biography of Peterson's life or has access to other resources, please feel free to assist. Following this, the article will be complete, I believe. I will continue to look for web-based references.--Soulparadox (talk) 10:33, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
