Expert needed

[edit]

@CWH: I don't think I can call myself an expert in the History of Science, but I know something of the field, and have plenty of experience in literature searching and bibliographic work. I've expanded the biography section, using more sources. I've also expanded the publications section and standardised the format of the citations. I'll let you remove the template if you are happy with this. If not, some comments about what is still required would be helpful. Thanks Kognos (talk) 16:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Glad and grateful to do so! You have done terrific work. I would only suggest that the lead might be expanded beyond the present rather bare paragraph, so that a reader can get a better idea of his life and significance.ch (talk) 23:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Price's law

[edit]

It's not explained correctly - his law is not about the papers written (i.e., physical creation of something), but about citations of papers by authors (i.e., impact). The latter scale, the former not. Also see main article https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Price%27s_model Sschuerger (talk) 12:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
