Sourcing and citations

The first para of Later life lacks inline citations

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 5 has a dead URL

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there an asterisk before the Onion ref?

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Avoid all caps

Prose and coverage

Can we add the year for the infobox image and also the time capsule one?

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:56, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link time capsule in the infobox and on first mention in the main text

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't children be included in the infobox?

Done - All libraries are closed now. That would be in a Who Was Who in America (or the like) and is not online (I researched it). Need actual hard copy book, which I have no access to at the moment. Can add later, when I am able to get books again. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:58, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the three daughters already mentioned in the main text. Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 16:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He remained at the Tribune Italicize Tribune

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

he applied that interest as a science editor I think "he worked as a science editor" implies the same thing in short.

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think laundromat should be in italics, use quotes

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any links for "liquid propulsion rockets"?

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Introduce Robert H. Goddard in the main text

{{Done}] --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

whose papers he later edited with Goddard's widow Was she also a notable scientific personality? Then we may include her here

Done - removed Goddard's widow. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[which was renamed the American Rocket Society (ARS)] Why square brackets?

Done - fixed. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I feel American Interplanetary Society deserves a mention in the lead, especially due to the award in his honor.

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the main text

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any background for Annice D. Crema?

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:19, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. A very interesting read :) Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 02:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: - All issues have been addressed. Can you take another look. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:19, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All the issues above are done with, just one more point that I forgot to list. Are the refs 1 and 2 the sources for all the bullets in Positions, and ref 8 is the source for all the works? And there should be some citations to support all the points in Education. Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 18:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: -- Yes, ref 1 and 2 cover the bullets in Positions. Ref 8 covers the works. Ref 1 covers Education. Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:14, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, looks much better. Promoted :) Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 03:05, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
