• Comment: You need more footnotes to validate the assertions made in the first and second paragraphs. The selected articles/chapters section needs to go away, as they is more like a CV, rather than article. Also, there is a pov issue, and you need to get rid of commentary like, "widely published", and "draws great inspiration". Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:43, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
