Inclusions
In an academic biography for someone in a field where the important publications are books, we do not include journal articles, museum catalogs, or other minor publications. We do not include the books twice, once in the text, and again in the bibliography. In the bibliography, we separate books written and edited--edited is considerably less important. We normally do not include individual lectures, nor do we include memberships on editorial boards, only positions of editor in chief. We do not incldue society memberships, onl yleadership positions. We do include visiting profesorships, but not in the lede.

On the other hand, we do include a sequential list of academic positions.

I've fixed some of this, restoring the fixes I made a few years ago, and will be fixing the rest. An article in excess of our usual standards inevitably appears to be a promotional biography. We generally delete promotional biographies, unless the person is so very notable that it's worth rewriting them. Even for ordinarily notable ones, like this, as a very experienced editor here on academic biographies, I will sometimes rewrite those for people in little-represented fields, or who otherwise seem of general interest. I will have rewritten this twice; I can not be expected to do so indefinitely.  DGG ( talk ) 23:37, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
