Untitled[edit]

This article seems very similar to the obituary in the Globe and Mail. --Wtshymanski 16:58, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Just a coincidence, I guess with a guy who has only one major achievement there's only so much you can say. To be perfectly honest with you I've never heard of the Globe and Mail (living in the UK I've only heard of the Post and NY Times). In the interests of full disclosure I did write the article having read pieces in the Guardian and the Independent, but I have better things to do than rip articles off intentionally.

I read a few other obituaries on the Web and they all sound pretty much the same. My mistake. --Wtshymanski 23:36, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No worries. Rje 10:36, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Switched?[edit]

The text says that eveready "immediately switched" to manufacturing alkaline batteries. This is incorrect, because they continued to make carbon batteries for decades after alkalines were introduced, and as far as I know they still may be making them. I would change this to "immediately began" but I would like to see the source for this first, because while I know "immediately switched" is wrong, I don't know for that matter that they did "immediately begin" making alkaline batteries, though of course that is plausible. For that reason I am changing it to simply "began," since that is obviously correct no matter how long it took. If a source can be found to support the "immediately" then that word should be reintroduced.

Review comments[edit]

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
Photograph should be added from a source with a free license, if available
Some basic biographical information required, eg any marriages/children, place of death
After expansion, article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
Information on research should be expanded and references required
References should be added, preferably in the inline format
External links to useful online resources should be added if available
