Harris Mayer is a notable scientist who worked in the Manhatten Project

Unfortunately, this extremely short on-line article does not make a single claim to Mayer's signinficance or importance to the Manhattan Project or anything else. The external links are a hotch-potch of vey brief mentions ofhis name found by scouring the Internet and have no value whatsoever except perhaps confirming that Meyer existed and was involved on the project. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:55, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
