This sounds slightly suspect and sensationalized. Do people who pull their hair out just suddenly start one day, or is it more likely they tend to do it over a long period of their life? The article mentions other so-called "eccentricities", so it sounds to me like he probably did it before this point, only that it may have become more noticeable or severe. I'm just thinking out loud here but it would nice to have this claim reviewed by a medical expert. Viriditas ( talk) 02:48, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I have translated this article to Chinese Wikipedia here and promoted to FA status, and I want to thank User:Ceranthor for his effort to write this amazing article. -- Jarodalien ( talk) 16:04, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
I noticed a rather controversial statement in this article, stating the the subject of the article was eccentric, disorganised, and had "behavioral oddities". A core policy of Wikipedia is that all material in articles should be verifiable. I could not verify this information because it did not have an inline citation, so I added tags to indicate that a citation was needed. My expectation was that someone who knew where the material had come from would simply add a citation tag to the end of the appropriate sentences.
I am pretty disgusted by what in fact happened, which was that people have edit warred to simply remove the tags, and leave the information unverifiable. If there is a reason grounded in policy to prevent a reader from easily verifying these statements, I'd love to hear it. I do not believe such a reason exists and would therefore also love to hear someone explain why they are disrupting an attempt to improve an article. 128.40.9.164 ( talk) 18:53, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

The David A Johnston article states:
“ Many USGS scientists worked on the team monitoring the volcano, but it was graduate student Harry Glicken who had been manning the Coldwater II observation post for the two and a half weeks immediately preceding the eruption.[25] The evening before the eruption he was scheduled to be relieved by USGS geologist Don Swanson, but something came up, and Swanson asked Johnston to take his place. Johnston agreed.”
While this article states in the intro that Harry “was very distraught about the death of fellow volcanologist David A. Johnston, who had switched shifts with Glicken so that the latter could attend an interview.”
This appears to be a contradiction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:D58B:DA00:809:8964:17FD:13F3 ( talk) 09:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
