@Theleekycauldron and Sammi Brie: Thriley has made a few edits to the article. Have the concerns been addressed? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Thriley: I concur with Sammi Brie about the choppiness: perhaps the prose can be improved so that it is not so perfunctory. I did a copyedit of the early life section. I will promote and hope that work continues on the prose. Perhaps a career section? and adding years to his teaching career? We have WP:DYKSG#D7 to consider. Bruxton (talk) 18:39, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought we do need to improve the prose and complete the bio. I moved a few refs out of the lead per MOS:LEADCITE. i am afraid this will get kicked back for WP:DYKSG#D7. Bruxton (talk) 18:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I should have some time tomorrow to sit back and flesh it out more. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded it a bit. Working on it some more. Thriley (talk) 00:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've done some minor rewording myself if that helps.--Launchballer 18:07, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thriley, this article was moved to article space three months ago tomorrow, nominated late, and you've been very busy doing other things rather than working on this article. You have every right to work on what you want, but the time for this article at DYK is just about out. If this nomination isn't completely ready to go within seven days, it will be marked for closure. Please plan your time accordingly. Thank you very much.

I've done some work on this myself and I believe it ready to go, but I'd appreciate a second opinion.--Launchballer 08:39, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Thank you for your work. Looks ready to go. Thriley (talk) 00:09, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
