Blaise Pascal

I am interested in eventually placing this article on FAC. It feels fairly comprehensive at this point, but I am looking to improve it in any way possible. Thank you in advance for your help. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:43, 2005 July 25 (UTC)

The article looks really good, you may want to include {{Infobox Biography}} in the lead, like that on William Butler Yeats and many other featured biographies. Does the article need a legacy section like many other biographies have describing his impact on other people in his field and on society more generally?--nixie 04:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Added the infobox (good idea), will put together a legacy section later today -- should be no problem. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:25, 2005 July 25 (UTC)

It looks good, and seems to meet most FA criteria. The last works and death section seems a bit too short, and could use more content. I also question the need for the stamp image. It is an unfree image that contains the exact same portrait that is in the introduction. If another image is needed there are other contemporary portraits that are in the public domain. - SimonP 13:04, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

I've replaced the stamp image with another image of Pascal, though I'm unable to provide more caption information than is available at Commons. I've also expanded the death section with more info on speculation about what exactly his illness was. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:25, 2005 July 25 (UTC)
