Residual COI concerns[edit]

Although many of the promotionalism has been flushed from the page, I can't help but think that Chesterman might have created this article to covertly boost the pagerank of his publications -- note that he frequently cites his own self-published primary sources (as always) and very little independent, secondary sources. elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 07:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New York Times considers him important enough to publish his opinions and mention his book[edit]

The New York Times opinion page featured an article he wrote in November of 2010. [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/13/opinion/13iht-edchesterman.html A Little Less Privacy, a Bit More Security By SIMON CHESTERMAN] Dream Focus 06:35, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

third rewrite[edit]

To those concerned about the article, this article is due for a third rewrite, partially to make the article clearer to laymen, to reduce any WP:UNDUE concerns and simply to make the article easier to read, and less taxing to the head. elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 07:43, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
