Improvements to be made

There's a lot of work to be done expanding this article. I plan to tackle this, but I'll share a list of my plans here in case anyone wants to pitch in:

I believe Henricks typically goes as "Robert G. Henricks" - he is credited as such in his books
He is a major English-language scholar of the Tao Te Ching, and has made significant contributions to the study of the Ma-wang-tui manuscripts of that text
He also wrote a translation and study on the Guodian manuscript of the Tao Te Ching

I have moved the page and strongly urge using his middle initial for the article title as is done in his books. It is how he would be referenced. See Herrlee G. Creel.FourLights (talk) 16:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
