Long enough, new enough, written in a neutral manner and no copyvio detected. Hook is okay, however I porpose ALT2 (a modification of the original proposal) because it is present tense and it feels like a more natural wording. The fact in the hook appears in the article and in the cited source. QPQ is in order. However I feel the article could use another thorough read to fix grammar (e.g. "his researches"), spelling (e.g. "sabbotical") and WP:WEASEL wording (e.g. "cited by many researchers", "chapters to many books"). Please ping me when it's done. HaEr48 (talk) 05:33, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- @HaEr48:, Thanks, I have corrected the spelling and usage errors. I must confess I did not quite get the one about WP:WEASEL wording. Contributing chapters to books is an oft-used phrase in science parlance and I have given multiple citations to support the wording many. Please let me have your thoughts. jojo@nthony (talk) 11:09, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- The wording "contributing chapters" is not a problem, the problem is the fact that you used a bunch of instances as a citation to support using the word "many". In my opinion that is bordering on WP:SYNTH and is frowned upon in Wikipedia (that's why using "many" is listed in WP:WEASEL. Please avoid doing that. Also, I still see "researches" in the article.

- @HaEr48: Thanks mate, good point, your comments well noted. I have tweaked that sentence a bit to avoid many. Researches also have benn corrected. jojo@nthony (talk) 03:49, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
