The invalid picture and caption should not be part of the article, unless someone can find the photo somewhere on Wikipedia somewhere or find if it available to be used on wikipedia. Otherwise, it should be deleted. Feedback is appreciated. Adamdaley ( talk) 11:38, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
why this nomination had to wait thirty five years until it became true and agreed on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.90.196.132 ( talk) 17:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I believe that Robert Edwards was born in Batley, West Yorkshire and not Manchester. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Countarthurstrong ( talk • contribs) 20:14, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved Tiggerjay ( talk) 03:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Robert Edwards (physiologist) →
Robert Edwards (physiologist) – per
WP:COMMONNAME - sources do not use his middle initial
Ghmyrtle (
talk) 10:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC) PS: I attempted to move this manually, from the old title of
Robert G. Edwards, but obviously did something wrong and then was unable to self-revert. As far as I can see, the talk page has been renamed but not the article - I'm not sure why. Apologies to anyone having to clear this up.

Robert G. Edwards: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Robert Edwards: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]
so I don't see a case to move an article with natural disambiguation to one using parentheses. Zarcadia ( talk) 22:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

For conflict of interest reasons I am offering these suggestions rather than editing (I am Robert Edwards authorized biographer and knew him for forty years). 1) delete ‘lung disease’ in final section (not the cause of death); 2) mention should be made of his pioneering work on embryonic stem cells in Glasgow. For reference I suggest his historical article: Edwards, RG. IVF and the history of stem cells. Nature 413; 349-351, 2001; 3) at the risk of being accused of self-serving I suggest the subject’s authorized biography should be cited as the most complete and up to date record of the man’s life andachievements: Gosden RG. Let There Be Life. An Intimate Portrait of Robert Edwards and his IVF Revolution. Jamestowne Bookworks, Williamsburg, Virginia, 2019.

Please check: Is Robert Geoffrey Edwards with title CBE entitled to be called "Sir"? Normally the male with CBE, being the third class of the Order of the British Empire, is not called "Sir"; only males of the two highest classes are.
