This article is a few corrects away from being what I would consider GA status, and the ACW could use as many of these as possible. I would love as much feedback as possible, I own many of the reference materials I cited. MrPrada 03:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]A nice article, but a few points that could use some work:
The lead needs to be considerably longer, and should be a (brief) summary of the entire article rather than a mere introductory preface.I would suggest using blockquote formatting (or perhaps {{cquote}}, if you prefer a more visually striking look) for the extended quote. In either case, there's little point to having his name following the quote when the source is explicitly introduced before the quote is given.- Having Google links in all the citations is quite problematic, not least because it introduces an undue reliance on Google's particular URLs for these; I'd strongly suggest removing them.
- Is this in reference to the google books? Or google cache? I believe that googlebooks helps provide verifiability but I could remove them. MrPrada 02:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
There's no real benefit to having an extra sub-section below "Further reading" when only two works are listed.
Keep up the good work! Kirill 02:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
