From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am new to Wikipedia. The article was rejected for lack of references. So, I added a reference section and linked many items in the articles for verification.

If I were an editor, I would delink most of the books linked in the article. I also would delete many of the references, retaining the first two references, the reference on the prize, and perhaps a list of his writings. The rest is for verification. This is not fiction. This is the story of an historian - one who believed in the institutions developed in the Middle Ages enables West civilization to surpass the Roman Civilization. Wikipedia is not used to archive books. But I learned this fact reading Bryce's The Middle Ages in Hundred Pages. He wrote this book from memory.

In full disclosure Bryce was my father-in-law. I saw him perhaps once a year. I wrote the article from his CV and notes he wrote about Cornell. Bryce is remembered more in Europe than this country, but the Middle Ages involve Europe. The German Wikipedia cite contains incorrect information and focuses more on Bryce's students than Bryce.

The links broke when I moved the article over.  Repairing links.
