Eric W. Weisstein
I wrote this article some time ago and think that it is fairly okay, but I'd like some comments on how to improve it if anyone is at all interested in taking a look. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, -SocratesJedi 06:01, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it, it's basically well written and on an interesting subject, though it could do with a little copyedit and removal of an occasional whiff of promotespeak ("a vast array of subjects"). I'll try to find the time later to do a little of it myself if nobody else does. Objections:
 * Lead should be expanded with something about why Mathworld and Scienceworld matter, not just mention them. According to the article, they constitute his main claim to fame, so they need to be in focus in the lead, too.
 * I think the Education section is too detailed to interest anybody but his mother. Compare the amount of detail on education in this CV that you link to, that seems about right to me.
 * This link is malformed/dead: it revives if you remove one world, but then it redirects to mathworld "search", so I guess it wants fixing
 * The image is copyright and used with permission, which does not include third-party use. When I tried to use an image with limited permission like that in October, and asked on the Pump if it was OK, several people told me it had just become non-OK. Apparently Jimbo had just decreed that from then on it was going to be either a) unconditional permission or PD, or b) don't use it. I guess you're still OK, with your September upload, but you won't be indefinitely. Do you think it might be possible to persuade Weisstein to release it unconditionally?

 * I guess it didn't? SocratesJedi, since you seem to be around the place and editing other pages, do you have plans for showing that appreciation any time soon, like by replying to the points or addressing them on Eric W. Weisstein?--Bishonen | Talk 08:14, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
