[edit]Thanks for the note about references. They have been added. Lostphd (talk) 14:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Those aren't really references, though, those are works he has published. Do you know of any references about the subject, written by reliable, independent sources? Newspapers, magazines, books written by someone else about the subject, etc? See the guideline about reliable sources for more. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
The biographical information is contained within the books he has written, on the "about the author" pages. These seem reliable to me - but I will keep plugging. He did get some newspaper coverage when the Gould book came out Lostphd (talk) 17:52, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- You're right; those might be reliable for biographical facts, etc. At some point, though, this article is going to need some sources that are independent of the subject. Thanks for working on this! ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 18:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
