Thank you so much for your helpful edits, Matthew Vanitas!

No worries;, just make sure you leave the pink boxes at top for reviewers to see the progress so far. The main thing you want to do moving forward: footnotes are not for "here's the paper by him I mentioned", but instead are for "here's a neutral academic/media authority that backs up what I just said." We don't need footnotes to prove he wrote XYZ Paper, what we need is if you say "XYZ Paper really opened the field of whatchamaphysics", then you add a footnote to Dr Whosit's book on science from 1998 which on pg 43 says "Kronn's XYZ Paper was amazing, and here's how it impacted whatchamaphysics", and then you cite Whosit's book. So generally speaking there shouldn't be citations to Kronn's work, though you can list his key publications under "Selected works" or whatnot. Footnotes should be about Kronn by others, not by him. Hope this helps. MatthewVanitas (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
