Talk:Harry J. Buncke

This needs help, and have deleted it until it can be rewritten: "He has been visiting professor and has delivered distinguished lectureships at more than 50 institutions, is the author of 15 movies and television tapes, four books, and more than 400 publications."

"distinguished lectureships"? What is a lectureship? And what makes it distinguished? This is just bad writing. The 400 publications and four book should be in the article, but the rest is peripheral to the average reader. If you include it, at least change the wording.

There are just too many superlatives and gushing prose in this article. It reads like a bad puff piece, which diminishes what looks like a (legitimately) notable subject.MollyBloom 15:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Over 400 publications...
" Over 400 articles, books, and chapters have been published from our service, and hundreds of scientific papers presented globally. We continue to attract the best and brightest plastic surgeons nationally and internationally to teach, train, and lead." This is not the same as what you wrote. Is there some other reference that supports the number of books and publications that this man wrote?MollyBloom 02:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

could we write this article properly please, and see whose biog hangs off it later?
Microsurgery seems to me an article which should take the reader through a sweep of history, biring in various people who did first or early work, some of whom will have been notable enough in other ways that they obviously need more than just a mention and get their own article.

I'm somewhat gratified to see that the top hit on Google for "Induction of immunity" is the WP article I started by working on the same basis with regard to that topic. It seems to me a general approach with some sense. Midgley 20:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
