Javascript review[edit]

The following suggestions were generated with the aid of a semi-automatic javascript program.

  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The lead should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article rather than be a single sentence.[?]
  • Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries should only be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
  • This article has very few images. Please see if there are other free use images that fall under the Wikipedia:Image use policy and fit under one of the Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that can be used. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to Special:Upload; to upload non-fair use images on the Wikimedia Commons, go to commons:special:upload.[?]
  • The main image should be placed in the top right corner of the article.[?]
  • I would avoid including galleries in articles, as detailed at Wikipedia:Galleries. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to wikicommons or integrating images with the text.[?] It is especially unnecessary here because you can just move the single image to the top right corner.
  • You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article, such as Template:Infobox Person.[?]
  • Consider adding {{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}} along with the required parameters to the article - see Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.[?]
  • The article would be strengthened by the use of footnotes. Rather than list references at the end, at the end of each paragraph or sentence note where the information is from by using inline citations (written in code as: <ref>Details of the reference</ref>). At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add {{reflist}}.[?]
