I restored a bit of material that was trimmed in this edit: specifically, the schools where the article subject was educated and the year and place of birth. Including the name of the schools attended and the subjects studied there is standard practice in Wikipedia academic bios, and year and location of birth is standard for biographies. The page as it stood also did not quite make sense, because it began with a transition out of talking about his graduate education without ever mentioning his graduate education. Along with these basic details I also restored the name and occupation of parents, but that's less clearly relevant and could certainly be trimmed. - Astrophobe (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
