I have Strom's book and I'm going to re-work this bio based on information I come across in the book. Hopefully I can get this up to GA status, which would be a first for a referee. RyguyMN 03:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
First, thanks RyguyMN for contributing heavily to this article, it's massively comprehensive now. Here are some of my comments (not meant to criticise because he's done a tremendous job already) --
All in all I've applied mostly a light touch to this article, wikifying, making minor changes to word choices, edited some headings, re-arranged the order of some content to make things flow better, and rephrased certain parts to make things tighter. My view is that the area needing most work is connecting various events in his career to make the prose flow better. If left unchanged, I think they stand as events that are presented very disjointedly and may not make good reading. Good luck. Chensiyuan 15:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The article lists "controversies" that are little more than someone whining about a call they didn't like — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 ( talk) 20:58, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
