Hello: I am Peter Homans, George Homans's son. I first of all wish to express my family's deep appreciation for the authors of, and our delight in, my father's Wikipedia page. Although my family and I are all laymen to sociology, we can see that my father's sociological theories are clearly presented and are reinforced by trenchant quotes and examples. The only major correction I am making is in the section titled "Education and Becoming a Sociologist." Previously, my father's book English Villagers of the Thirteenth Century (1941, and still in print by the way) was referred to as a literature book, when my father himself (Homans 1984: 167) referred to it as an anthropological study. I have therefore inserted a sentence describing English Villagers in the context of my father's Junior Fellowship. I will also be correcting some minor punctuation problems and spacing issues when I see them. I have also noticed an inconsistency in the punctuation for the author-date citation style (whether to put the closing period before or after the citation), but don't want to take the time and effort to establish a consistent style at this point! But that's a minor issue. Thanks again for your great content--PeterH4131 (talk) 16:22, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
