Fixed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Early life section is cited from only two cites. More are needed. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:10, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Added two more. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Just a single line about his death. Needs expansion. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:10, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
There are two sentences about his death. What more needs to be said? We kbow when, where and why. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Institute for the Study of Metals is an unnecessary red link. Or just keep it away from the lead and only one instance is needed at the most. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:10, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
The lead is considered separately from the body. Per WP:REDLINK: Red links for subjects that should have articles but do not, are not only acceptable, but needed in the articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
A couple or two images are appreciated, if available. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Added. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:40, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Later life section needs a split as it covers about 50 years after the WWII. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
The first paragraph of lead must be combined as one like he was a British... known for his.... and the like..-The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
A legacy section is expected so as to prove that he was notable indeed. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
You're asking me to editorialize. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Exactly..well..not exactly. But clearly feel that its important in all ways. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 15:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
But good to go..-The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 11:40, 16 May 2015 (UTC)


### Result
 Placed on hold for a week till the concerns are solved. -The Herald • the joy of the LORDmy strength 08:17, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
