George Baird edit

Hello! Your additions to George Baird were spectactularly well written. That said, I am not sure they will stick as they verge on what we call original research. In short, we don't publish theses on anyone's work, but rather condense what has already been written. What you have added has definitely improved the article, but it has pushed it a little bit outside of the encyclopedic zone and into the academic essay/original research zone. I made a few minor trims but will leave it to see what other editors think. (Large edits like the one you made automatically trigger scrutiny.) Thanks in any case for your contributions!ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:58, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
