Crystallography, Rosalind Elsie Franklin and the discovery of the molecule DNA.

Why is the name Rosalind Elsie Franklin censored out of this "history", that links crystallography and the discovery of the molecule DNA ?

One source which makes this link, is available on Google: http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/KR/.

This is an observation from Adelaide, South Australia...I have no problem with my IP address, from Adelaide being publicly recorded. Concealing my inquiry defeats empirical objectivity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.205.21 (talk) 06:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.131.205.21 (talk)

Why are there exclamatory marks (!) in the sentences about Linus Pauling? Perhaps work is required here to avoid the appearance of POV? Snezzy (talk) 08:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Military service

These http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/exact=w.+l.+bragg;sort=oldest/start=1 should help fill out some more detail on his army career. David Underdown (talk) 15:05, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links

There are twelve entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.

ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. -- Otr500 (talk) 00:51, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
