Needs a serious clean-up[edit]

Someone needs to go in and clean up the entire entry. It's loaded with unsourced claims and weasel words ("...they have been recognized for the bold use of color and their energy." Oh? By whom?) Also, many of the sources referenced are actually Mills' own sources. For example, the obituary in the NYT (citation #7) is actually a paid obit written by someone in Mills' camp, not one written by the Times. The PRIME Mentors references are suspect, since Mills was an integral part of that organization. Under "Spontaneous Lectures" is a particularly egregious example: "Critics have called these dramatizations 'a theatre of philosophy' and 'modern-day Shakespeare.'[16]" And what "critic" is cited? It's actually no critic at all, but rather a colleague of Mills' at PRIME Mentors. This sort of daisy-chain of "references" does not belong in an encyclopedia such as WP. I'll give the entry's author(s) or other interested parties a week to remove unsourced claims before I go in and attempt to Wikify it myself. Believe me, I have nothing against Mr. Mills, but I cannot abide this kind of overblown hyperbole on WP. Bricology (talk) 03:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

response to Bricology:

"...they have been recognized for the bold use of color and their energy." --this was taken from comments by Mr. Timothy Phillips, a protege of Salvador Dali

Prime Mentors award was the result of a vote by active members of the Prime Mentors of Canada organization. Kenneth Mills was not previously associated with this organization -- what is your source?

All the quotes are taken from countless reviews of Kenneth Mills' large body of work and can be found in published book review magazines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarity2010 (talk • contribs) 02:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
