New, long enough (very detailed), neutral and well sourced (including notes where appropriate) and free of Copyvio, which only picked up the journal article titles written by him. I am happy with the citations in the article, a few are primary BUT these are things like past president lists, I know from experience that these are sometimes necessary when compiling the research positions and presidencies of notable and prolific scientists, and I am happy that all are supported in the article with secondary references and/or are respected sources. I would like to see ALT1, despite it being technically detailed it demonstrates the caliber of articles and people on Wikipedia, and is of interest to a wide audience of people interested in biographies and science research. It is fully supported by the citation. QPQ has been done, even though I was a bit confused as Tach's signature is different in the review which I have never seen but I assume is ok! I really enjoyed reading about this interesting man. Mramoeba (talk) 11:49, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
