"File:Baxter Oliphant (1954).jpg": needs a PD-US tag also
From this [1], there appears to be one dead link (currently used as Note 32)

Images
- For Philip's photo, can you recrop the source photo to be the same resolution as the infobox? It shows up really blurry as-is, which seems unnecessary.
  No, but another image has become available, so I have used that. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:31, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I plan on commenting more, just starting so hopefully it will motivate myself to finish

Support ~~Comments~~ – only a couple of minor comments on an otherwise comprehensive and well written article:

When used on its own, "university" should be decapitalised.

Worth noting in the lead the year Baxter was appointed to UNSW as professor of chemical engineering.

Is it known when the family moved to Hereford?
No. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"so ICI was eager to create new products using it that it could sell" – worth clarifying first "it" (I assume chlorine?).
Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"the seven dwarves, that was" – that –> which
Done
Both Second World War and World War II are used in the article – worth picking just the one for consistency.

"The first students enrolled in the new course in 1949" – I'm a little confused as to how Baxter made departmental and structural changes before he had even arrived.
Y Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The section heading "Sydney Opera House Trust" is perhaps not the most direct or accurate, as the Sydney Opera House Trust itself comprises only one of the three paragraphs in the section. Perhaps something along the lines of "Sydney Opera House Trust, the Arts and legacy" or similar?

My comments have been addressed, so I'm happy to support. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 08:10, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comments~~Support - a great read. No dabs, copyvios or duplicate links. The only queries I have are that I'm getting an error code on the links for fn 15 and 19–21. When I click on the latter three it tells me the link is insecure. Is there something that can be done about that? Otherwise, just image licensing stuff. File:Sir Philip Baxter.jpg, File:Yagodin, Baxter and Street.jpg, and File:Baxter Oliphant (1954).jpg need a US licence, or alternatively PD-AustralianGov, File:Nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights under construction.jpg and File:Nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights.jpg don't seem to have an appropriate licence given the source.

Switched to the new {{PD-AustraliaGov}} licence. Fn 15 works okay for me, but it looks like I added a security exception for the National Archives site, which you can do too. I have asked them to update their certificate. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

G'day Hawkeye7, this has been passed, but Milhistbot hasn't run over it as yet? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:39, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The MilHistBot was confused by there being multiple A class templates. I have corrected this. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:07, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
