Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

The article has a notice that the section listing honors and awards needs source verifications. I thought that the information pasted below might be useful to anyone editing the article. Thank you. T.M.

Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Rusalkii (talk) 01:59, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Dear Rusalkii,

Thank you for this prompt reply. Do you mean that I (the subject of the article) should try to enter the documentation myself--or just leave the information here so that anyone inclined to work on the article can enter it? (I tried my hand at contributing to a Wikipedia article or two many years ago, and I'm very unskilled at it!)

Please let me know what you recommend.

With appreciation,

Thomas Mallon 2601:152:281:1D30:AD94:239C:EB88:6C9F (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
