Talk:Lonnie Johnson (inventor)

message: While the article does read like an advertisement, like the inventor himself wrote it, I can say that there shouldn't be much of a question about the notobility...as the Super Soaker is arguable the most famous water gun ever created, and one of the most popular toys period..and Lonnie is it's creator. The a good article can be written skimming the most pertainent facts from what is given, and a few citations.

message: The career section shouldn't be listed like a CV, nor should it have sentences that are mostly quotation. I'll try to come back and fix this over the weekend.
