Article Creation

[edit]

In researching content for Inchicore railway works cama across Drumm Railcars as likely content (not yet used) and realised James Drumm was a notable Irish Chemist. (Also he his already referred to in articles on this wiki). Observed he had a article already on the German Wiki and decided this would likely be a good start point rather than starteing from scratch. I have done a best effort translation of the article from the German one with help of google translate and with some post processing and have done needful attributation. I have essential concentrated on an approximately 'as is' translation rather than attempting to modify or add citations or content prior to moving from draft. I *may* or *may not* improve this further myself, but certainly invite and welcome others to do so.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:46, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Casey and Scannell sources

[edit]

The recent {{fact}} has made me re-examine sources a little more carefully, as far as I can tell the paragraph needing citing came from my best effort translation of the German article. I've not looked deeply particularly at (Scannell ,2002) before, but immediately notice it had a different YOB claim to (Casey,1996?)- 1896 vis 1897. Interestingly the pre-degree sentences for both sentences seem identical bar the YOB, though the sources begin to vary. My current mindedness is Casey was first and focusing on a biography of Drumm, ans Scannell second and focusing more on the technology of the Drumm railcars; likely making Scannell a transcribe error.
