Written like a resumé
In addition to lacking citations, the tone of this article is problematic since the subject of the article has contributed to its content (and talk page). An article that strictly summarizes a career is okay, provided it is well sourced and neutral in point or view. I’m not convinced these criteria have been met. — Preceding

Got Sock Puppet?
The guy,
Andrew Dalby or
Charles Davis Douglas, has written his own article. He is perhaps more notable for self aggrandizement than his notably out-of-print books.

I don't do sockpuppetry. I edit under my own name. The minor edits I've made to this page (see the history) have been to add a couple of links and correct minor details. Andrew Dalby 21:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)reply
What is this nastiness? Many valuable books go out of print, alas. Dalby's books are standard references for ancient food. --

I have removed the old merge proposal template. It was opposed on
