I am commencing a major edit to the Charles Grafton Page entry. Many biographical facts posted there are in error. The discussion of his experimental contributions omits much. The section on controversies is inaccurate. I will begin to make these revisions. Anemonella ( talk) 16:00, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
"Having eight siblings, four of each gender." Four of each gender would presuppose at least 12 siblings (masculine, feminine, neuter)! Or do you mean four of each sex? Gender tends to refer to social and cultural differences while sex refers to biological ones. Our prudish translations easily lead to nonsense. Chrysippo ( talk) 14:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Images are appropriately tagged. Sources are reliable, with one exception noted below; there are two links to researchgate but the articles there were published elsewhere.

Per recent discussions about sourcing at ANI for articles nominated by Doug Coldwell, and a conversation on Doug's talk page, I am going to check sourcing for some articles Doug nominated that I recently promoted to GA. I don't have access to some of the offline sources but do have access to some material through the Wikipedia Library.
Sections checked:
These problems relate to about half of the text I've been able to check. That's to say, most of the article material in these three sections is inaccessible to me because I don't have access to the sources. Of the remaining material, about half has problems. This is unacceptably bad. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:50, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Continuing:
I'm unable to check much of the next two paragraphs.
Stopping there for now. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 02:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See
the investigation subpage.) Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see
