This article looks promotional
I see that Sornette is a major contributor to this article. I also see that some sentences are cited with numerous articles, with little distinction to the details of the articles cited. Can we trim this back? Attic Salt (talk) 14:15, 20 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I'd rather say this article about a person is completely overloaded. Compare with German edition, this is how it should look like. Theories etc. should be separated under consideration of No_original_research. 17387349L8764 (talk) 15:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've started trimming it back a bit, but it's hard for me to see a version of this page that doesn't delete nearly all of the current material (the vast majority of which is simply summary of various papers, citing the papers themselves, and added by Sornette himself).
