Autobiography? Syllabus extract?

I lack proof to flag this as an autobiography, but I did flag it for sources & cleanup. I also flagged one section for sounding like a personal reflection or essay. (Caveat emptor: I qualify as a strong critic of this person. See my user page where I pledge allegiance to NPOV.) Rob Rosenberger 05:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question About Quotations

I don't know what the Quotations policy is, but the first one ("The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result.") is generally attributed to Einstein. Is this appropriate to include? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.50.238.66 (talk) 19:28, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Even with the citation the quote should not be there. Quoting him quoting someone else is just plain silly. --jenlight 19:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also strikes me as violating NPOV to use "Often Quoted Article" to cite an article he wrote. Sounds like he or a fan characterized the citation with no proof. Why not simply give the name of the article? Much of this article sounds like a laudatory promotion of the person and his writings. 75.139.118.217 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]
