There is a stray bracket at the very end of the article (after Stoat) but I can't edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Expand your John Thomas (talk • contribs) 03:03, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Undue weight[edit]

Should his Wikipedia (mis)adventures account for half of this biography? The section on his non-Wikipedia career (writing) is only about half of that of the section on his Wikipedia editing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:56, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"(mis)adventures"?? - hmm. Anyway, if you see an imbalance - then grab some solid sources and expand his non-Wikipedia career section. Simple solution. Vsmith (talk) 12:53, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: Apparently, the only rule that applies to this article is WP:IAE, which is fine with me, being an inclusionist. You won't find the sources Vsmith suggests because they don't exist; the subject fails notability outside Wikipedia. YoPienso (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria for article[edit]

How many other "Senior Scientific Officer(s) in the Physical Sciences Division in the Antarctic Climate and the Earth System project at the British Antarctic Survey" are profiled?
