POV
[edit]Removal of "distinguished" does not detract from the article but does it indicate a point of view in respect of an academic? No more than "large" for a number of publications or "prominent in his field" I would have thought. Doug butler (talk) 03:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Tense of statement.
[edit]He *was* a South Australian academic? Has he died?
- Deliberately vague. Last time I saw the man was maybe 10 years ago at Blackwood craft market.
If so, this should be mentioned; but if not, but he is retired, I think this could be worded better, such as "he is a retired South Australian academic". My understanding is that words like "was" are normally used in Wikipedia only for people who have died.
- I have heard nothing but would not be surprised either way.
Also, I wonder if "herpetologist" would be a better description than "academic", which sounds rather vague, and more so than it needs to. M.J.E. (talk) 16:28, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- There are/have been plenty of non-academic herpetologists. I've added "herpetologist" to the lede but don't think it's a big improvement.Doug butler (talk) 05:30, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
