Talk:Double helix

May 2008
The structure and content of the article was completely revised. Almost all of the changes I made are accompanied by scientific references. --Naturespace (talk) 23:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

That the guy who came up with the idea of the double helix was at the time under the influence of LSD. Any truth to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigboy (talk • contribs) 02:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * See Snopes for more information, it seems the answer is more complicated. 87.66.103.114 (talk) 12:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

My alteration
I changed 'based on work by Rosalind Franklin' to 'stolen from...' as it is fact that Maurice Wilkins saw Rosalind Franklin's work which showed the double helical structure and told Crick and Watson her findings, aggravated by her patience and thoroughness. Feel free to debate this, but I feel this is historically accurate. -Rich —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.4.112 (talk) 17:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I have changed it from stolen to taken to get rid of any controversy the user considers this implicates, dispite it being recorded in any history book of DNA. I have also added a small paragraph on the aftermath of the discovery, though only small! Hopefully others will add to it later. --Richb91 (talk) 20:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Rosalind Franklin and the Nobel Prize
I have reworded the text dealing with Rosalind Franklin. That she died before they were awarded and that they are not awarded posthumously are both facts. Whether she would have got one had she lived is more pov. There are reliable sources that say her work deserved one, but only three are awarded in each subject each year. Her death means that we will never know whether the third award would have gone to her or Wilkins. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 20:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
