IP 108.27.82.232 interpolated that Rieblng is "Trotskyite neoconservative" but provided no citation. Further, Riebling's writings (unlike, say, those of Christopher Hitchens) do not support that chracterization. In his "Notes Toward a Critique of Conservative Reason," for instance, Riebling takes issue with the foundations of conservatism generally, and of Straussian neo-conservatism especially. If Riebling's politics are nevertheless judged germane to his biography, one could say that he has published in right-leaning publications; but also that he has published in left-leaning publications including The Guardian (London). In any case, do not see any useful encylopedic purpose in speculating on Riebling's politics in absence of evidence.

The article appears to dwell extensively on the subject's views, which mostly appear to be self-published. Rather than detailing them here, perhaps just linking to his blog would be sufficient. The only views we should go into are those that are notable enough to have been mentioned in reliable 3rd-party sources. Will Beback talk 23:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
I think the concerns above have been addressed in edits -- I see only two references to his blog posts and the rest are to published 3rd-party sources. Probably some of the detail of his views could be condensed further, however, this does not read like a resume. It includes criticism of his work, etc. Timoleon212 ( talk) 17:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, Drmies, your edits have improved the entry to be sure. Suggest the following could be restored for the following reasons:
-- Influence -- suggest the paragraph is stronger with reference to President’s decision to close “seam” between foreign and domestic surveillance. Saying instead that subject is frequently cited in U.S. media seems to me make the page more like a resume rather than less.
-- Warrantless surveillance controversy. Suggest this meets the criteria for noteworthiness. At one point the entry cited four or five law review articles cited discussing the subject’s views on in connection with debate about Title II of the USA Patriot Act. Further, if the controversy is worth mentioning, it may be helpful to explain to readers how it ended (with the supreme court decision upholding warrantless surveillance) rather than leave it hang.
-- Personal responsibility at the founding. Suggest the few sentences as originally written met the criteria for noteworthiness. More than 450 web pages link to this essay from a reputable printed magazine in which subject of entry corrected an entry in the Oxford English dictionary.

Suggest that in External Links, links to select discussions of subject's work may be more relevant than link to subject's website.

Drmies, many (perhaps most) other articles on Authors contain bibliographies, so I'm unsure why one is out of place here. Perhaps it is too long, but that is another point. Timoleon212 ( talk) 17:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)Timoleon212 Timoleon212 ( talk) 17:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Mark Riebling is a descendant of the colonial explorer Stephen Holston, who in 1746 followed what is now the Holston River by canoe from Virginia to Mississippi as far as Natchez. [1] His father, Robert. W. Riebling, served as a senior engineer in the Liquid Propulsion Section at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and worked on on the NASA Surveyor Program, which on June 1, 1966, landed the first U.S. spacecraft on the moon. [2] Riebling's friends include Neil Peart, drummer and lyricist of the rock group Rush, who mentions Riebling in his books Traveling Music: The Soundtrack of My Life and Times and Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road.
