Puff

Lots of "puff" here - without going into substance, using lots of extra words does not make for an easily read article. Collect (talk) 21:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Writings

Hey all, just a quick note. I updated the writings section to reflect the current state of affairs (he published more books since it was last updated), but as a result I'm worried I may have done the reference formatting wrong. If someone wants to check that I'd be very grateful. Djwege (talk) 14:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article's tone

The article has a serious tone problem. It really does come off like it was written by the subject himself, as if it were the autobiography page on his personal website.

This article needs to be totally redone to fit Wikipedia's style and standards. Holidayruin (talk) 22:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COI

This article contains excessive detail from the lead to every other section in the body. It reads like a CV promoting the subject's every achievement to date, rather than sticking to notable events/topics as covered by RSs. User:KevinPowell1966 has written about 74% of the article, has the same name of the subject and has edited no article but this. Therefore, there are serious COI concerns with this article.
