Hi Kimberly,

I just wanted to say that yours is a job well done! I made a few grammatical corrections on your page. I also have a couple of recommendations. A particular sentence stated that, "he became a professor at ....in 1891; the principal of....in (1898) and a professor of ....in (1901)." I thought the sentence might "look" better if you took out the parenthesis for 1898 and 1901 for consistency (there was no parenthesis around 1891), It was also stated that "he wrote a large number of publications of various types." How do you like: "He also wrote numerous publications of various types"? I think the two "ofs" may be unneccessary. Hope this helps!

Great page! Thanks for the feedback on mine. I would suggest seeing if there is any more information about your editor's works. Also, how do you do the carrot things for references? Jola066 (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Citations in other WP articles
The affiliation to the Delphic Fraternity and the picture in the template:bio (with the left hand kept down and open, a typical gesture of the 33rd degree Freemasons) suggest David Eugene Smith was a Freemason. In any case, the following source

which has been cited in various WP articles is, to my modest opinion, a WP:reliable source. It was written by a former president of the American Mathematical Society, talking about physicians, mathematicians and scientists who were part of the history of science.Regards, Theologian81sp
