The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
Most of the excellent suggestions by reviewer MPJ-DK have been attended to, and then some. All 'citation needed' suggestions by Sainsf are completed (very interesting I must say)
I moved several critique quotes and such to footnotes in order to keep better focus, improve flow, be less disruptive and tone down text that may be construed as promotional.
Readable prose size is now 18 kB (formerly 21 Kb); 3000 mb have been either removed or shifted into references and/or notes.

Using footnotes allows the text body to flow better and to be less disruptive. It's also less promotional-looking and more in keeping with the intended goal of simply imparting information. I think these improvements benefit the article as well as the reader. Still, if one wishes, one can quickly find information, at times slightly divergent albeit interesting, right on the same page, as a footnote instead of in the body. I think the article also reads in a less disruptive manner and is more focused, since the text (often critiques) do not appear inline (within the paragraph).
I would be amiss to not send my warmest thanks for everyone's wonderfully generous contributions until now, and for the inevitable contributions to come
