I think that the article has some sections that are very strong, yet others could use some more information including the above mentioned influences section. I also think that the subdivisions could be organized a bit differently to make more sense, such as the early life and family is separated by a few sections on his accomplishments. They could be perhaps arranged by all family and early life and then go into his accomplishments. MackenzieGlaze (talk) 03:23, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Section titled “Population Growth”, discussing the process that Malthus underwent to write "An Essay on the Principle of Population" and the resulting impact that his writing and theories had on society, could be improved by combining the “Population Growth” article with the later section titled “An Essay on the Principle of Population”. Instead of separating the two sections, and confusing the reader as to the difference between Malthus’ ideas about population growth and his essay, the article would be improved by demonstrating that Malthus’ ideas about population growth are written in his essay. The sections “Academic”, “Later life” and “Family”, could all be combined into a “Later Life” section, organized by dates in order to alleviate confusion on the time of events occurring when reading the article. Although the dates of his marriage and academic work are included, it is more coherent to read when placed in order of events. However, although the later life section concludes with his death, the section “Malthus-Ricardo debate on political economy” should remain after “Later Life”, because he has a large bulk of information which should not be swallowed in a section on his family and academic career, but instead remain separated with its current title.

The first sentence of the chapter seems wrong or a coalesce of two sentences. Could someone knowledgeable clean up "Although government in Britain had regulated the prices of grain, the Corn Laws originated in 1815"?

Or is really meant that dispite regulation of prices of grain, the Corn Laws origintated in 1815?

Forty years ago our then Science Teacher told us, whilst discussing population dynamics, that Malthus estimated that there had been so many flies on the planet that if they had not decomposed, their bodies would have covered the entire planet in a layer some ten metres high. This particularly gross image has stayed with me throughout the decade.

I've removed a chart that wrongly represented Malthus. I contacted the creator of the chart but have not heard back, so I've "been bold" and taken it out. - Metalello ^talk 20:47, 18 January 2016 (UTC) [reply]
