RS for improving/enhancing this article[edit]

While I don't have a direct COI, I may be close enough to possibly be accused, so I will simply provide some links that tell the story of this exceptional BLP.

And that's just for starters. ^{Atsme📞📧} 00:48, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Add all you have, though this means it will be quite a project to do a comprehensive job on this subject. Looks like there are some book and journal sources too, no surprise. E Eng 01:14, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okie dokie EEng, adding more - hope you have access to some of the library editions....

This should give us all a good start in making this article the best it can be. ^{Atsme📞📧} 21:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can get just about anything. Again, this really is an interesting topic, but it will take a lot of time. I might dabble around in the interim but I can't get serious for a few months at least – too much other stuff going on. Be patient, maybe remind me if I seem to have forgotten. E Eng 22:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really losing it; I'd completely forgotten we had this interaction. This will be quite a project to do justice to. E Eng 05:28, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a worthy endeavor with major significance. I can't think of anyone who would be more qualified than you to do it justice, EEng. I'm of the mind that it could be of the same caliber as Phineas Gage. I noticed in my own writing that I tend to stray away from the customary encyclopedic tone to something more along the line of story telling...more of a humanitarian slant than encyclopedic...which was part of the reason I asked for your collaboration. You are able to write engaging prose while keeping it encyclopedic, and that's what this article needs. ^{Atsme✍🏻📧} 17:34, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
