thread_title:  Reporting, selected 

message: The entry at present lists various associations but only describes actual accomplishments in vague terms:
"In addition to being a noted professor at many great architectural schools, he was a biting and incisive architectural critic"
What made him notable as a professor? What did he teach that was innovative?
Quote some "biting and incisive" criticism to show specifically the style and insight that made him unique. Martindo (talk) 21:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  This WP entry is too vague, fails to convey what made the man great 

message: In lieu of Sorkin's passing and the tremendous outpouring of tributes across the architecture and urban planning fields, in both discourse and practice, we should aim to flesh out this page. We need more that explains his highly influential books, early life and education, and professional life as a prominent critic, designer, book publisher and educator. There are many new sources to cite from. Prairieskool92 (talk) 23:30, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
