Talk:Alan MacDiarmid

message: Someone reassessed this article after your request as still Start-class. I completely agree, but want to express my congratulations on a significant improvement. This Start-class rating is now fully deserved, before your improvements it really wasn't anything more than a stub, and it would have been downgraded sooner or later. So you really accomplished a promotion from stub to start class. Errabee 07:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The content needed referencing, so I set about it (before,after). Just wanted to add a note on the talk page here that there's a wealth of information out on the net. Although there isn't much known about his personal life, the refs at the end of the page - one - seem to be useful and could help in expanding the article further. Also, if you look through the refs 1,2,3 on the page you could find further links which could be of some use. Just wanted to help out any other editors looking over this page.

message: inserted into the article some time back - 
MacDiarmid's first wife, Marian Mathieu, whom he had married in 1954, died in 1990. He is survived by four children: Heather McConnell, Dawn Hazelett, Duncan MacDiarmid and Gail Williams, from their marriage and nine grandchildren: Dr. Sean McConnell, Dr. Ryan McConnell, Rebecca McConnell, Clayton Hazelett, Wesley Hazelett, Langston MacDiarmid, Aubree Williams, Austin Williams and George Williams. MacDiarmid is also survived by his second wife, Gayl Gentile, whom he had married in 2005.
:The names of his kids and grandkids might not be notable enough for inclusion. Kids still maybe. Grandkids? I doubt it. Again, we don't have a ref for this. Should we keep it in?
