"Willerding is one of the leading European palaeo-ethnobotanists." This is the type of statement that should be easy to verify, please do so for this article. It's a bit thin on substance for one of the leading European palaeoethnobotanists, particularly he's introduced as only a supernumary professor and a high school teacher. He's not professor emeritus or anything? Attached to any institutes? It's a small field, but there should be sourcable information. --Blechnic (talk) 07:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure how to verify this (I know, Wik doesn't accept statements like "I work in the field, and it's common knowledge.") In general, I don't know how to show notability for archaeologists. Thre aren't lists of top guns, especially in the sub-fields. But I think at least the notability issue should be handled by the fact that he has a festschrift dedictated to him.

    • That would suffice. Just add an inline citation (in place of the citation needed tag) with the name, publication data, etc., of the volume, wikilinking authors in the citation. --Blechnic (talk) 21:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
