thread_title:  Dead Reference 

message: The lead paragraph states that Cotton published over 1700 scientific articles. While I don't dispute this claim, it is not supported by the reference given. I have added a  tag.
I was able to find the following article which mentions his authorship of over 1600 articles. Is anyone aware of a reference substantiating the 1700+ claim? If so, please remove the tag and existing reference and replace, or if you prefer, update the text to say 1600+ and use the following reference instead:
