There’s one on the bio/‘who did this?’ page. And dropping my name wont matter. I would recommend drafting a full entry matching the conventions of this dictionary and email that to him with all sources included. And maybe pay special attention to the sources listed in the methods section here.
Also no ai slop. But you don’t seem like that type anyways.
