Hair pulling

After realizing that he would likely never receive a permanent post at the Survey, Glicken became depressed and began pulling his hair out...

This sounds slightly suspect and sensationalized. Do people who pull their hair out just suddenly start one day, or is it more likely they tend to do it over a long period of their life? The article mentions other so-called "eccentricities", so it sounds to me like he probably did it before this point, only that it may have become more noticeable or severe. I'm just thinking out loud here but it would nice to have this claim reviewed by a medical expert. Viriditas (talk) 02:48, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me odd that an article featured as one of the best should, in several places, refer to the reaction to its subject's eccentricities without better references. Is it possible that the eccentricity that so significantly affected his career was more on the part of the USGS corporate culture? After all, Doctor Glicken was a significant contributor to science in his field. Too Old (talk) 15:31, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Date of birth

Date of Birth? Guyb123321 (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

That might be his date of birth, but we prefer a secondary source, such as an obituary. I don't have access to this journal at present, but someone should:

Obituary: Harry Glicken (1958-1991), by R.V. Fischer, Bulletin of Volcanology 53, 514-516, 1991.

Jonathunder (talk) 17:03, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I found the obituary in the journal and I have added the exact birth date to the article. GeoWriter (talk) 12:41, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
