Footnotes[edit]

I had to reinstate the refimprove tag. While there's not doubt that Geman's papers are highly cited, the footnotes do not address the sentences to which they are attached. Only one of the notes provided establish that Geman himself has "highly cited" ISI rating, not that the particular 1984 paper mentioned is still today one of the most cited articles. This articles needs cites by reliable third party sources, not direct cites of Geman's papers.--Boffob (talk) 23:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the Google scholar link after the 1984 paper citation address this concern? It returns very clearly a citation count of about 8500 for this paper. 194.95.173.177 (talk) 10:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who is in the picture on the left?[edit]

Is the picture with his brother, when they wrote the famous gibbs sampling algorithm?
