Rolph van der Hoeven
Hi Cornelis and. A couple of ideas: take the bulleted section /Education/, move it up before section /Career/ and prose it like e.g. "Van der Hoeven took his blah-blah form 1966-69 at the Uni of Amsterdam and his blah-blah the same place from 19blah-whatever. In 1987 he finished his blah-blah from UniWhereever. Looks better than the CV-like list. The other thing: you have a pretty dense second paragraph in section /Career/. Think about splitting it in two. Would that make it easier for the average Joe to understand? Are there terms you can wikilink to? And most importantly: you need some sources to back it up. When you have a nice interview like http://www.viceversaonline.nl/2012/10/vijf-vragen-aan-prof-dr-rolph-van-der-hoeven/ put it between tags and run REFLINKS. Any questions? Just ask!

 * I added a couple of s to the article. If you want to have a stab at the remaining titles in the /Bibliography/ section, here's the simple way to do it. Open Google Books in a tab and search for e.g. intitle:Planning for Basic Needs: A Soft Option or a Solid Policy. Copy the link to the book, put it into Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books, generate the citation. Then copy the citation without the ref tags and paste it into the bulleted list in the article. For the nifty details keep at hand in a seperate tab. Happy editing! Sam Sailor Sing 06:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
