Talk:George Eastman/Archives/2011

Chronology wrong
Something is wrong with the dates here. Born 1854 ... moved to Rochester 1860 (age 6) ... father died "two years later) (1862) (age 8) and he left high school. How did he even get into high school at age 8?  Scott Johnson 19:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

O
The bit about the letter "O" seems fishy. If you look at the cited source, About.com, it talks about the letter "K" instead, as does the Wikipedia page about Eastman Kodak. Here's the sentence that seems fishy: The letter "O" had been a favorite of Eastman's, he is quoted in saying, "it seems a round, endless sort of letter" Brian Douglas Skinner 12 December 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.215.96 (talk) 03:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Offspring?
At least for disambiguation purposes, I'd like to see mention of the offspring of THIS George Eastman who are ALSO named (namesakes?) George Eastman, such as the Dr. George Eastman of Cambridge, MA, the psychology and philosophy professor (and vegetarian advocate), EdD, PhD, who is (I think) a son - or possibly grandson - of THIS George Eastman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaynardClark (talk • contribs) 20:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Award
Is there not a (George) Eastman Prize/Award given annually at the University of Rochester (perhaps the URMC)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaynardClark (talk • contribs) 20:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Death
At the eastman house, the tour guides always say that he committed suicide via shotgun to the head. Any verification? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.104.13 (talk) 14:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Lack of information
Why does this article only contain information about his "Later Years" and "Legacy"? Isn't there anything to be said about his work with Eastman Kodak? 98.210.104.178 (talk) 04:39, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Now I see that there used to be more information but an entire section was blanked recently. Does anyone know why this happened? 98.210.104.178 (talk) 04:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Roll film
He invented roll film for photography

But the movie film format as such was designed by Edison

Also, celluloid base film is no longer used. I think they use acetate and other materials —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Egil (talk • contribs) 05:17, January 24, 2003 (UTC)

"He invented roll film for photography." No, he didn't. David H. Houston did, in 1881. Trekphiler 18:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Can you provide any evidence of that? There is no article for a David H. Houston. Wiki editor 6 (talk) 05:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
