  • Comment: I fixed some things. Instead of doing a reference for his books, it would be better to have a complete citation, with ISBN. You shouldn't reference his own works. There are some statements that need citations - see if you can find them. LaMona (talk) 01:59, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thanks for adding some more links but this will also need more context about his work using prose. Please notify me again when finished and I'll look again. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:24, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm willing to accept it but this still needs some more sources. SwisterTwister talk 01:20, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
