message: For conflict of interest reasons I am offering these suggestions rather than editing (I am Robert Edwards authorized biographer and knew him for forty years). 1) delete ‘lung disease’ in final section (not the cause of death); 2) mention should be made of his pioneering work on embryonic stem cells in Glasgow. For reference I suggest his historical article: Edwards, RG.  IVF and the history of stem cells. Nature 413; 349-351, 2001; 3) at the risk of being accused of self-serving I suggest the subject’s authorized biography should be cited as the most complete and up to date record of the man’s life andachievements:  Gosden RG. Let There Be Life.  An Intimate Portrait of Robert Edwards and his IVF Revolution.  Jamestowne Bookworks, Williamsburg, Virginia, 2019.

message: Please check: Is Robert Geoffrey Edwards with title CBE entitled to be called "Sir"? Normally the male with CBE, being the third class of the Order of the British Empire, is not called "Sir"; only males of the two highest classes are.

replies: text: No this is correctly documented. His knighthood (as documented Knight Bachelor, awarded 2011) is not associated with any order, so post-nominal initials are not appropriate, nor do they supersede his CBE. Semudobia (talk) 11:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
