DGG ( talk ) 01:36, 28 July 2013 (UTC)further advice
As an experienced editor here who works extensively with articles on academics, I gave the article a further review. He is obviously notable, both under WP:PROF and, because of his books, as WP:AUTHOR. There is some considerable rewriting needed, however. (1), add reviews of his books, which are needed to clarify his notability . (2). Rewrite the timeline as a paragraph, omitting minor positions. Clarify that the professorships in Illinois, Texas, and Arizona were full professorships. Find a specific source for the bio--there does not seem to be one listed. (3) Are the journal publications selected or complete? We usually do selected. (4)We do not normally emphasise patents unless they are commercially exploited--it would be best to say he received 5, and give the details in a footnote. Don't use full caps, even tho the patents themselves do. I';d advise you to do this all quickly. Please don't be disheartened by the previous review--just as anyone can edit here, anyone can review.

Some feedback on your bio article
This is in response to the message you left on my talk page. I assume you were talking about the draft article currently in your sandbox: User:Kllwiki/sandbox I just took a quick look but from that quick look it seems very nice. The following are just minor suggestions:
In the intro you say "he spent a very productive career on the faculty of the Department of Civil Engineering" that sounds just a bit promotional to me. I would either take out the "very productive" or rephrase it so that it's something a bit more substantial and can be quantified and supported, e.g., "he was a prolific author who published X number of papers"
In the external links, rather than list out the raw URL you can do it like this: Obituary the code for that is: [http://chpc.ut.ac.ir/download/eh.pdf Obituary] A wikilink can also link to external web sites as well as to pages on Wikipedia. That's sort of a judgement thing, I think it looks better to not list the raw URL and that is the way most of the articles I've seen do it, but I can see wanting to list the URL so that people know where they are going before they click.
The contributions section is too promotional. Things like this: "the beginning of a brilliant career in computational mechanics" might cause the article to be rejected or if not it will eventually get tagged and reworked by someone to be more encyclopedic. This stood out to me more than the first one I mentioned. "Brilliant" is really hard to quantify and not the kind of language you would usually expect in an encyclopedia. If you use that kind of language at all it would usually be referencing something someone else said about him in an external source "The university gave him an award and described his career as brilliant". As I read further I see you have some quotes like that anyway so I would just remove "brilliant".
Hope that was useful. Looks like a very good bio article. Cheers. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 16:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
