Original research

This article seems to suffer from original research and a lack of published sources. See also Wikipedia:Verifiability. --Bejnar 16:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use of external links in text

See Wikipedia:Common mistakes. Normally, external links are placed in a section called External links. See Wikipedia:External links. Occasionally external links may be embedded in text in lieu of footnoting. This is discouraged, but when done, the Wikipedia:Manual of Style says: "When an embedded HTML link is used to provide an inline source in an article, a numbered link should be used after the punctuation, like this, [1] with a full citation given in the References section. See Wikipedia:Cite sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information." See URLs as embedded (numbered) links. --Bejnar 16:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

notability

In brief, academics are notable from their published work, and their research projects, which are adequately documented by official CV, unless the material is actually attacked as erroneous. I think the article would stand at AfD--almost all articles on full professors at research universities do. DGG (talk)

Unfortunately, while Myers' book has been written about, he has not. --Bejnar 16:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

for people whose notability is in their academic writing, as is the case for academics, thats essentially the same thing. see WP:PROF.DGG (talk) 04:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well-known

I deleted the sentence "He is a well-known specialist in demographic trends and their relation to all areas of policy and planning." Citation was requested for this statement in May 2007 and no citation had been provided as of 31 March 2008. Please do not restore without a citation. --Bejnar (talk) 00:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pro Amnesty Bias

The capsule review of "Immigrants and Boomers" summarizes the pro-amnesty argument of Myers' book, but does not adequately identify its political bias. This should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomday (talk • contribs) 04:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
