message: I excised the following, as it violated WP:ASR and was just generally unencyclopedic:
*When Jacobs began outsourcing his life for an Esquire piece, he asked his Indian assistant, "Honey K. Balani", to write a biography of himself on Wikipedia. A bizarre article soon appeared on Jacobs calling him "The King who thinks he Knows it ALL!", "a not so unheard international figure" and a "writer and editor of phenomenal grey-matter" ... "a living form of encyclopedia at large."

thread_title:  Excised material 

message: Well, maybe the subject is just about notable (at a push), but is there anything encyclopedic about statements such as: "He enjoys shaving, talking about almost stoning someone and appearing on various new programs."? Timothy Titus Talk To TT 22:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
