Edit request for Bruce Wagner due to COI

Hi, I have a conflict of interest, so I'm not editing the article directly. I've created a draft here: User:PenAsASword/Sandbox. Would an experienced editor please review and consider incorporating this information? It is citations for information already in the article, additional links that were missing, and new information on the subject. I also linked to all the books, but if you don't want Amazon links, feel free not to use those. PenAsASword (talk) 05:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Referentis (talk) 09:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
