I've done a little cleanup on the ONE citation, previously a deadlink, and some wording. Relying solely on a faculty page at UCLA English for content is very thin on reliable sources. Even that one could be argued as not completely reliable since some/most/all of the text might be from the subject himself. Someone doesn't become a Distinguished Research Professor, however, without some level of expertise and notability within his field. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 18:11, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
