Anthony Giddens edit

I have expanded this article from stub to what I think is fairly comprehensive, feature lenght. As I have been reading about Giddens only for the past two weeks or so, I am sure there is room for much improvement, nonetheless I think this is close to FA level. What do you think? Note that I cannot find a single copyleft picture of him :( --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few things:

  1. Quotes shouldn't be in italics, see the MoS
  2. The selcet bibliography seems to be a list of all his books, either trim it to the most important publications or change the name. Isbn's might be useful.
  3. Biography seems a bit brief. It is missing some personal detials like his marital status, do we know his parents names etc. Apprarently he was the first member of his family to graduate from college.
  4. Who are his intellectual peers and what are the criticisms of Giddens hypotheses - the article never presents his work in the context of other workers in the field.
  5. I'm not sure the long summaries of his conclusions add a lot to the text, especially the summary of New Rules - which seems tacked on and unnecessary (However it'd be a good addition to an article about the book).
  6. The image could use an actual fair use rationale. It might be worth asking the LSE for a larger promotional image.
  7. His role in the Blair-Clinton dialogues could aslo be expanded on.

  1. Done de-italicizng.
  2. This is actually not a complete list - he has written over 40 books, not counting articles. I added some books I've mentioned in the article to the list, but it's still not complete. As for ISBNs, I agree, but I hope sb else will do it :>
  3. I added the college info. I couldn't find anything about his parents.
  4. That's a tough one. I included most of what I know in the article - it can surely use the help of more people.
  5. I guess it can be moved, if such an article is created.
  6. Added rationale. Good point about contacting LSE, I will do that.
  7. Quite likely, but I know almost nothing about them (yet).
Thx for the comments!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
