Original research
editThis whole Wikipedia article mostly references the very work, or book, it discusses as the only reference with different page numbers. This fits the definition of WP:OR (original research) on Wikipedia. Editors are supposed to report what independent reliable sources (WP:RS) say about a topic. That is not what is happening here.
Also, this article has been tagged since it was originally created in 2014 (see diff here). Hence, I have no idea where it came from before that. It is an essay of some sort and not encyclopedic. And essays on Wikipedia are for discussing issues related to editing on Wikipedia and notability. In any case, this article needs to be rewritten based on what reliable sources say, and not on a Wikipedia editor's interpretation — unless that editor has been published in independent third party sources that can be posted on Wikipedia. Please see WP:GNG and WP:NBOOKS.--Steve Quinn (talk) 19:24, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
I fixed the page to comply with Wikipedia guidelines and policies. This is supposed to be about the lectures and not specifically the content of the lectures themselves. Regards, ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
