Talk:John E. Till

Comments left by AfC reviewers

  • Comment: This is clearly a notable scientist, and the sources that have been added provide plenty of reliable and independent sources. However the reason for notability was a long way into the article and not all the language was neutral. I removed unsourced claims and non-neutral statements. Moved explanation of why he is notable to the top. Moved naval career down below scientific career as it is the scientific career that makes him notable. Revised throughout for clarity and encyclopaedic tone. Lijil (talk) 20:59, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Numerous assertions are not supported by reliable independent secondary sources. Subject may be notable, but draft needs references to substantial coverage about Till in published works. Paul W (talk) 19:16, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: This page is a major mess. While he may be notable, it is full of incomplete and unverifiable sources starting with the first.

  1. Cut, cut, cut. From the first paragraph after the lead as one example, growing up with 3 uncles on a farm is both not notable, and has an unverifiable source.
  2. Remove all the details of what he thought. This does not belong.
  3. Remove the bragging. Dry facts only.
  4. Almost all the sources are before punctuation which is wrong.
  5. The "Key Research Studies" is not encyclopedic, it is an essay on him. Probably remove.

Article Infobox Photograph

Swapped-out this photo for this photo. The former appears to currently have permissions issues and may be deleted. Until that is cleared-up, I would recommend retaining the military photo as the primary photo, for now (it's also significantly higher-resolution). MWFwiki (talk) 02:59, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
