Authorship?

Gee, who wrote this page? Like we can't tell.108.65.3.151 (talk) 18:17, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First off, this is Wikipedia so anyone can edit. Please improve the article if you see appropriate changes to be made. Or if you have more concrete reasons to think it may have been authored by someone with a "conflict of interest", be sure to read WP:COI and see how you can help.

In the meantime, I do think the article appears to be written like a resume, and needs work to ensure neutrality, and that it is written in an encyclopedic style; I have tagged it accordingly. Cheers. N2e (talk) 02:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although much of the article seems to be either done by the subject or someone close to him, there have been other sets of hands at work as well. I helped with the ==Selected bibliography== & ==References== sections, & inline citations. While I myself may have graduated from U.D. 35 years ago, I have long lived away from Delaware. That said, there is much in the article that seems to be original research. Someone should either remove it or provide citations. Aloha, Peaceray (talk) 07:21, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
