Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
Photograph should be added from a source with a free license
Some biographical information required, including some education details (eg first degree), other positions held etc
Article needs expanding and should emphasise reasons for notability of subject
Article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
Information on research should be expanded and references required
References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
External links present which could be used to expand article

I use Wikipedia a great deal in my own research to scratch the surface of many related topics. I appreciate the humor in the "tongue-in-cheek measurement of mathematical prominence", but it has little use in understanding anybody's work or significance within the larger community. It's just one more reference to filter out as I navigate this on-line encyclopedia for my own efforts.

I certainly don't want to stifle folks' fun, but I hope such references do not become commonplace in Wikipedia. Such distractions in larger numbers will only weaken this fantastic tool. Wolfworks (talk) 16:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
