... that Charlie Wheatley had a seventh grade education, and three honorary degrees in engineering from the University of Tulsa? Source: obit
- ALT1:... that Charlie Wheatley had at least 21 patents registered on valve designs he invented? Source: obit

Reviewed: 6th QPQ out of 7 from Template:Did you know nominations/1935 New York anti-lynching exhibitions
Comment: The patents are a little unclear. Obit says he "patented at least 21 valves", but there's also sourcing about him patenting a device to keep coffee fresh after he sold the business, so there's no good concrete total.

Overall:

@Muboshgu: Good work. For ALT0, the comma isn't needed as it is a list of only two items ("a seventh grade education" and "three honorary degrees in engineering from the University of Tulsa"). ALT0 is better than ALT1 given the lack of clarity for the latter. Epicgenius (talk) 22:01, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
