Can attend to shortly Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 16:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

At a glance, there would appear to be more and better sources that could be incorporated, such as this rather lengthy boston globe obit. Is this collection his? I don't see any mention in the article. How about this lengthy book? The GA criteria do only require that the article is "broad in its coverage", but I'm not convinced this is quite there yet. Curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Hello there Eddie891 Thanks for this note. I have been busy with IRL / off-wiki activities this week. I will pick this feedback up over the weekend. Notes from obituaries were already included. But, I had not seen the Boston Globe. Will take a look and add content. The book seems to be linked to him, but, is in German. While I do know of some German, might not be sufficient to read the book in German. If there is an English version, I can take a shot. The museum collections can be added to the article. Ktin (talk) 02:20, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to see reduced reliance on The Harvard Crimson, a student run newspaper that doesn't seem particularly reliable.

Will have a look over the weekend. My thinking was Crimson was used for irrefutable facts, but, will take a pass at reducing reliance. Ktin (talk) 02:20, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

yes, it’s fine but would suggest replacing with higher quality sourcing where possible. No worries about time— I’ll pick up with the review when you’re ready. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 03:22, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ktin any update? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 16:33, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ktin & Eddie891, what is the status of this review? --Usernameunique (talk) 23:35, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie891, following up. If Ktin is not responding, it may be time to close the review. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Folks, firstly, please accept my profound apologies. My offline world commitments have really overwhelmed me in the last few months. Unless this reflects poorly on some sort of on-hold metrics, I want to request some additional time. If that is going to obstruct the process in some form, please let me know. Ktin (talk) 00:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this review has been waiting for four months and no edits at all have been made to the article, I think it's time to close this down. Eddie891 may, if desired, offer to pick up a subsequent nomination made after the article issues already mentioned are addressed, but Ktin has made over 800 edits elsewhere on Wikipedia since this review began, so this nomination hasn't been a priority. There's nothing wrong with letting this nomination end, and coming back with a new one once the work has been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:14, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ktin, reviewer Eddie891 has posted on his user page that he's out of town until July 17. There's your additional time. If you haven't made progress by the time Eddie891's back in town, I would expect the nomination to close then. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:40, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'm going to pull the plug on this one. I bear no ill will towards Ktin, I understand what having commitments that take priority over Wikipedia feels like. All the best, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:52, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
