- ... that 1910 Nobel laureate Albrecht Kossel was related by marriage to American Henry Villard, former owner of The Nation magazine?
2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Jarhed (talk). Self nom at 03:07, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Date, lenght, hook check out but 1) can we find a more interesting hook? He was a Noble Prize laurate, I think a research-related claim would be much better. Something about his research laying foundations for the double-helix model of DNA would be much better, IMHO. Also, I added two cite and one peacock inline templates, those should be addressed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:45, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- Really pleased to see a Nobel Laureate get expanded, but why does the nomination say '2x expanded and sourced (BLP)'? It's not a BLP. I make it an expansion from around 1889 characters to around 8573 characters. Having said that, I only count approximately. Someone using that script should check this. Having said that, it would be great to see this sort of work rewarded, as it is precisely what is needed. Carcharoth (talk) 17:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Nice expansion, but not 5x. 2x expansions are for biographies of living persons, and Mr. Kossel died in 1927. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:41, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
