Section selected publications[edit]
All those not notable publications, do they really add any value to the article to people wanting to read a bio of this man? Perhaps they would be helpful for experts but we are not writing for experts but for the general reader. One external link would cover all that section imo.

- Firstly, there is no such external link available that would cover the selected articles specified here, and the removal of this section would prevent an interested reader in following up with the most relevant articles from the long list of publications of the author cited here. Secondly, the above improper statement about the notability of the selected articles should be withdrawn as it is incorrect.

Copyright problem[edit]
This article was tagged as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) Some content in it was clearly copied from [1]. While little of the content was copyrightable, the replication of the "select" bibliography is a problem, as the act of selecting out items for a list is creative unless the criteria are purely mechanical (such as "all works published in 2008"). Since the origin of other text in the article could not be determined and copyright concerns could not be cleared, the article has been replaced. Interested contributors are welcome to expand on this new base with information relevant to the subject's notable achievements.
Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:48, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
@Ronniegpd: You removed the image as not of actually this Ronald Brown. Then you changed the caption for a photo that hasn't been (re-?)uploaded yet. If the photo is not of you, then I should apologize for being not accurate, so I'll see what the photographer and I can do about it. -- George Ho (talk) 20:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
