In the short bio on the right, one could get the impression he died in 1971 by the phrase 'his death'. It more likely her death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.139.118.124 ( talk) 17:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
At the top of the article it says that he died in "no, England" this is obviously a mistake as clearly there is no such place in England, please change it to the correct place of death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.73.163.142 ( talk) 22:56, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
done —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.104.120.66 ( talk) 23:01, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
IMHO the mention of Google Doodle is not significant, so it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.34.145.121 ( talk) 00:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
I think it IS relevant that the world's search engine felt Dennis important enough to be honoured in this way. Why can't there be a "Been the subject of a Google Doodle" category? It would make very interesting and educational browsing. Johnalexwood ( talk) 09:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps it could go in a section titled "In Popular Culture" or something of the sort? I don't see how it hurts to put that in there. The more information the better, I say. Bradj47 ( talk) 15:17, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Everything is on the page twice and someone keeps reverting the changes when i make them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.84.88 ( talk) 04:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
ps: Thank you to the last editor for removing "I am Dennis Gabor" and "bullshit" below it. Some idiots playing with wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.132.137.170 ( talk) 04:38, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Everything in the award list is there about four times and they are sometimes complete and sometimes not.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.188.109.216 ( talk) 06:42, 5 June 2010 (UTC) /Edit: Seems that someone has corrected this, while i was writing... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.188.109.216 ( talk) 06:44, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Someone should add his date of death, 8-Feb-1979, to the table that says when he was born —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.179.19.135 ( talk) 13:19, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Done. Standells 13:42, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
I request the article be semi-protected because Google has mentioned Dennis Gabor and when users click on the doodle, it shows the Wikipedia article near the top, an easy target for vandalism. ELITE 3000 ( talk) 14:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I think "He received numerous awards beside the Nobel Prize." should be changed to "He received numerous awards besides the Nobel Prize." (note 's' on "besides") to be grammatically correct, since Google's logo is about Dennis Gabor for today and this page could receive high traffic. Dwks ( talk) 15:37, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there any objection to changing Dr. Gabor's nationality from British/Hungarian to Hungarian/British? He was Hungarian before he was British. Blake the bookbinder ( talk) 17:35, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
I find it odd that Dennis Gabor is identified as a Jewish Electrical Engineer in the starting paragraph. It's not incorrect, but religious identity (unless strongly tied to position or achievements) is usually saved for the biography section. Any thoughts on this?

under "in popular culture," consider adding "In David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, Hal suggests that 'Dennis Gabor may very well have been the Antichrist' (12)."

Actual holograms, as in science fiction, were invented. Not by this guy. I am trying to find who the inventor was, but Wikipedia is mislabeling holographs holograms, and thwarting my efforts. The two words do not mean the same thing. Calling a holograph a hologram is like calling a pentacle a pentagram. It's very common, but it's entirely incorrect.-- 174.19.244.195 ( talk) 10:05, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
