Hi. The assertions of the article need to be verifiable, which means that references via reliable sources need to be placed adjacent to the assertions they support. For example, you can use the LA Times obit to verify that he was born in Heilbronn, Germany and fled the Nazis and NPR to verify that he worked at Hughes and invented the scanner. If there is information in the article that cannot be verified, you should remove it. Please let me know if that doesn't make sense; I would love to see the article published.

One thing, though: I'm assuming that you are related to Jon Myer. You should read WP:COI and disclose your relationship accordingly! JSFarman (talk) 21:35, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for helping the Wikinewbie (is that a thing?).

I am indeed connected to Jon Myer. I am his son. I am dedicated to making sure that all details are correct regarding his history, as I know he would have wanted it. I've done a few updates to the attributions and hope I'm getting close.

Thanks again.
