Despite thanking you earlier,

I just moved Rene Paul Chambellan back to where he was because that is how he spelled his name. To be sure I checked with his grandson who confirmed i. but the "thanks" still stands, it was just slightly misapplied. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 18:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, Carptrash. Happy to leave it as it is. I made the move because it seemed like a majority of scholarly materials and biographic/encyclopedic records preferred the diacritic (see this in particular), although the Library of Congress authorities do also omit it. Any chance you have a written source that can confirm Chambellan's preference? Nickknack00 (talk) 19:02, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a note from his grandson. if you really need a resource, I can get you to where we discussed it on Facebook.
"He never used the accent on his first name. Look at all his signatures and it isn't there. In our family, both he and his namesake, many times would be pronounced "renie" instead of the proper Rene. It's not the end of the world. I'll take a look at the page when I get home from work and make the change unless you have a minute or tow to do it. Up to you my friend and thank you very much for the heads up!"
Good enough? Carptrash (talk) 07:59, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely! I'll post to the talk page in case it comes up again. Nickknack00 (talk) 15:16, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Trowbridge(s)

Thanks for the message. Are you 100% sure they are the same guy? I wanted to look into this more, but got busy with other things. The different birth/death dates and places of birth had me confused. According to the Smithsonian Institute website, Trowbridge is a native of Troy, New York. Other web sites list his place of birth as Troy Michigan. There were some other discrepancies that made me wonder if there were not two different Trowbridges. Anyway, I think you have it sorted out. --Gaff (talk) 22:50, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gaff: Very high confidence. The "Trowbridges" academic biograpies are identifcal (Michigan, Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, Columbia School of Mines), and military survey assignments on the Pacific coast also overlap. The Smithsonian's information about his specimen collection is also mentioned in a 1908 family biography book, which ties it with the facts mentioned in his academic remembrances. Regarding birth date and place: the NY Times obituary, National Academy of Sciences biography, the most careful and detailed sources, are in accord about birthplace: Oakland County (probably Troy), Michigan. NYT and the family history cite 1828 as his birth year. So I'll risk saying that the venerable Smithsonian is venerably wrong! But the information they have on his naturalist contributions is the best that's out there. Nickknack00 (talk) 16:13, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to mention that he did a son of the same name, but he was born in 1861. More on him in the family biography, but he doesn't fit the descriptions elsewhere.

John G. Trump

Hello!

I apologize for being over zealous by over tagging the John G. Trump article with {{verify}} and {{citation needed}} tags since this article was full of lots of old cruft that predated your edits that I had to wade through.

Based on its table of contents, IEEE Electrical Engineering 80 (8) appears to be confusing designed for a person who does not have institutional access to either the printed journal nor the online copy since it appears that the issue has three separate articles concerning the awarding of the medal. At this point, you have answer most of my concerns and if I find any loose ends, I will added them to the article's talk page.

Now for the rest of the article. I have to congratulate you for working very hard these past two months to vastly improve this article!

The last time that this article was reviewed, the article earned a "start" class Wikipedia:Content assessment. At the moment, the article can easily achieve a "C" class content assessment. With a little more work, this article could potentially earn a "B" class rating. Would you be interested in helping me to improve the article enough so that the article could potentially earn a "GA" or "A" class rating? ("FA" might be too difficult to achieve.) To do that, we would need to get more independent citations since this article seems to be overly depended on 2 or 3 citations. We need to eliminate residual plagiarism from the early days since some of the existing sentences still appears to be direct copies of the 2 or 3 primary sources. Has the science been fully explained in the article that it would make sense to both a specialist (a physicist and/or a high voltage engineer) and to the common reader? I have finished checking out most of the citations, that I can get my hands on. I may need your help with the one or two citations that I was not able to access to see if those sources are still relevant.

I am having a hard time trying to locate all of his notable students. So far I found two of his master students but none of his doctoral students. I would assume that someone as brilliant as him would have a few more notable students, especially doctoral students.

I think it would be neat if we would be able to improve the article enough so that it can be mentioned on the WP main page. -- 96.82.59.129 (talk) 11:54, 28 March 2025 (UTC) -- 96.82.59.129 (talk) 05:59, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the indexing issue! Happy to send you the Lamme citation. It has some additional remarks from Trump that I haven't used.
Had the same thought about how to improve. I think the Vannevar Bush article is a good benchmark. Don't know much about getting it reviewed for GA status.
Here's my to-do list:
  • Improve referencing and background info in "war years"
  • Expand section on wastewater experiments, comb environmental engineering literature
  • Find secondary sources on food sterilization experiments
  • Find full list of students (Jay Forrester was a surprising find)
  • Add more info on his board service, especially at Boston Museum of Science
  • Finish adding photos for each major research activity
If you know more about Rad Lab or big science funding from the 1950s, would be great to add more context for readers.
And please do continue to check unverified statements. I've added more open-access sources, especially on radiotherapy. Unfortunately, a lot of the STS & EE literature is paywalled. Nickknack00 (talk) 12:12, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will give you a quick reply now and a more detailed reply later.
The Lamme article(s) are badly arranged and may need to brief note to explain what is in them for those persons (especially reviewers) who do not possess institutional library access.
The Vannevar Bush article (at the time the article was evaluated in June 2014) is a good example to emulate since it achieved a FA evaluation, the hardest one achieve since the article cannot have a single grammatical mistake, nor logical errors, fully explain concept that a non-specialist can understand (as an example, think about a journal article written for publication in Nature (journal) or Science (journal) and not a specialist journal like those that aim for cerebral neurosurgeons. I will introduce the various class assessments later. I like your style, aim for the best.
I will discuss your to-do list later and give you my suggestions at that time.
The things Trump and Van de Graaff did immediately before and after WWII seem like something out of a steampunk and/or dieselpunk science fiction novel. We need to *briefly* discuss how Trump's and Van de Graaff's revolutionary work both transform society and, at the same, also became the evolutionary dead end for some applications. It appears that Trump might have been Van de Graaff's main right hand for a large number of years since Trump never left MIT for a post doctoral appointment.
If possible, we need to use easily accessible references as the primary citation. If we need to mentioned items locked behind paywalls, we need to give just enough information that would satisfy reviewers (like really short excerpts to give the reader an idea what is behind the paywalls). We don't want to have readers waste their money to pay for the citation only to discover that the information contained in the journal article was not worth the expense.
Did Trump obtained NSF or NIH grants during his later years? Would those grant applications be available online? How extensive are MIT's yet to be digitized archives? At what point should the librarians at MIT should be privately be contacted so they can start to digitize key documents?
Each paragraph needs at least one citation that actually supports whatever is written in that paragraph.
When Trump earned his MS, who was his MS advisor? Did he submit a thesis? What was the thesis topic? More later. -- 96.82.59.129 (talk) 19:14, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving.
