Comments[edit]

Although I don't want to write the article for the original editor a cursory Google search turns up various hits for Mr. Amundson including some referring to him as the "father of chemical engineering." Let's hope the editor follows up the page creation with the relevant supporting info. He sounds like a notable person. Rob Banzai (talk) 21:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not he is notable, this article does nothing to make the case for it. The tag should be there until the problem is corrected. 71.204.176.201 (talk) 21:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, did some more digging and slapped together some cited information to support his notability. Rob Banzai (talk) 21:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly you didn't follow Wikipedia's neutral point of view, verifiability, or avoid weasel words standards. This article is chock full of examples of how NOT to write a Wikipedia biography. It's completely biased, slanted, one-sided, and sounds like a glowing half-advertisement/half-biography. Please review Wikipedia policy before "slapping together" anything else. --Charlesreid1 (talk) 05:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

This biography is terribly written and (as per the comment above) doesn't follow any of the Wikipedia standards for articles (let alone biographies). It's completely biased, nowhere close to having a neutral point of view, and full of unverified claims. The claims that actually do cite references cite unreliable references. Article is badly in need of major overhaul. --Charlesreid1 (talk) 05:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
