  • Comment: You must remove phrases like "Short’s profound transdisciplinarity "
    Also, his notability is based on the books. The minor publications such as journal articles and public lectures are not even worth mentioning.
    The net effect is that this sounds like a promotional CV. DGG ( talk ) 18:20, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
