Someone with some expertise in the field may want to double-check the work on this article. I work in a related field, and if Berger was the epoch-making scholar he is made out to be in this article, I would have heard of him long before having to google him and find this page. It suffers severely from a lack of NPOV, and not a thing is sourced. 68.238.50.244 20:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * This appears to be a possible WP:COI and self-description. If notability is not demonstrable, the article should be deleted. Please notify me if reliable sources show WP:N, thanks. HG | Talk 23:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sources within Berger's entry clearly establish WP:N, but they are inexplicably listed at the end of the text, under "Bibliography (Selected Reviews of Work . . ." and "External Links." A quick perusal of these  linked sources--profiles and reviews in the New York Times, NPR,  Newsweek, etc--appear to back up notability and the entry's claims. But with  these sources buried, the text lacks a clear NPOV. These sources should be moved  up, perhaps quoted or as footnotes. Also the entry suffers from too much  information, some of it irrelevant. A good editing would  help.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.250.37 (talk) 05:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned up this entry: removed some unvarifiable material and moved sources up into body of the entry. user: JFMS

This article still needs more clean-up. We don't need a thorough review of his books and exhibits, though I do respect his work. Thanks. HG | Talk 00:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Cleaned up as per your suggestion. user:JFMS —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
