message: He (probably) received more awards, we need to expand on that.
Also, the bio is a bit thin, as are the other sections.  We need to get more
sources so we can write up a better article.

message: The more I read about Gross, the more I realize that this article BY FAR does not give credit to his achievements.
Do a search on "Al Gross" and see all the results.  We need to go through all the sources and write up a really
good article.  Who knows, maybe we'll hit the featured article if we do things right! Or not....

message: Seems his full name was actually Irving Alfred (J.?) Gross, see the VirginiaTech image database and check out the W8PAL certificate scans.  If you search Google patents, you find his inventions under Irving A. Gross, see http://www.google.com/patents?q=irving+a.+gross&btnG=Search+Patents --cslarsen 10:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is still confused and confusing some 5+ years on. I came to this page wondering why the text reads "Alfred J. Gross... a.k.a. Irving J. Gross" and why the external link at the bottom points us to patents credited to "Irving A. Gross". Your note above explains perfectly, but the article is still misleading. 82.71.0.229 (talk) 12:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone had rather clumsily thrown in some info about Gross influencing Dick Tracy, that clearly didn't fit in that spot in the article and wasn't cited. I found a citation at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/20010114/aponline215104_000.htm?noredirect=on but don't have time to properly integrate it.--TChapProctor (talk) 00:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Alfred J. Gross →  – Irving Gross was my grandfather. You can read through all the talk on this page and see that even the original authors agree that there is no history of him ever being names Alfred or having a middle initial J. I can provided everything from birth certificates to the paperwork when he changed his name from his birth name of Isidore to Irving. The most important proof is mentioned in the texts page is that his exhibit at Virgina Tech is under the name Irving Al Gross and it is also full of paperwork and family photos that I provided Artluverr (talk) 20:55, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps I should mention, since at that time Canada was part of the British Empire, his birth certificate should be at the Public Record Office, so it is very easy for me to check with them that he was actually born etc etc, but I think this is such an obvious good-faith nomination that I don't think it's necessary. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 23:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
