Finding sources[edit]

Hammersoft ,

Based on the discussion at User talk:HassE#Autobiographies, I gave it my best try to find good secondary sources for the biographical information, but haven't been able to unearth nearly what I expected.

One absolutely could get much more content about his research based on the number of times his journal articles are cited, but the basic biographical information is hard to find, except for the Manchester Business School and Manchester Ethnography Network profiles.

Also, after having inserted inline citations, there are quite a number of places where there are no sources.

So, I wonder if 1) this is a viable articles or 2) if it could be made a viable article by removing most of the biographical information and focusing on information from the places he's referenced in journal articles. What do you think?

I am also asking Graeme Bartlett, too, who did some copyediting, modifications for WP guidelines/norms, etc.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can remove unconfirmable bits. Use of subject written sources is OK for facts not likely to be contestible. But you notice I removed the children's names. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:35, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that publications and bibliography section is overlapping somewhat. It is best to have an explanation of significance of the writings rather than just a list. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:38, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Graeme Bartlett, I removed what I could not confirm, and removed the primary sources tag on the profile sources. I removed the duplicative prose about the publications, because so far I'm unable to find anything that is analysis of his body of work.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:57, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
