Talk:Harold McGee

Scientist?
Is it proper to call him a "scientist"? His professional background is in literature. I can see an argument either way, but I wonder if someone reading the word "scientist" assumes that it indicates professional credentials. Guanxi (talk) 00:34, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It says that he got a PhD. What was his field of study? Perhaps a science? Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 11:08, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's a crazy thought: read the article —
 * He went on to do a Ph.D. on the romantic poetry of John Keats
 * (Maybe someone could determine whether he obtained his doctorate, or merely did it.) Weeb Dingle (talk) 20:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

tone it down
At a glance, 11 of the 26 cited references point to books/articles authored by the article's subject. This ought to be reduced, as it lends the article a distinct curriculum vitae tone (WP:NOCVS). Weeb Dingle (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
