Initial thoughts
-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 16:26, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comprehensive article, though heavily reliant on one source, Brown 1997.
 * Earwig detector shows a 2.5% confidence there is a copyright violation, from a mirror site.
 * Use of the word "thither" might be problematic as I think most readers will not know what it means.
 * Neutrality is fine.
 * "Beta radiation produced a continuous spectrum"? Of what? Energy? Direction? De Broglie wavelength? Double slit superposition?
 * Electromagnetic radiation. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * In the lead, the link to knighted should be corrected to the relevant honour.
 * Linked. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Consider linking Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
 * It is already linked. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I meant in the lead, but I've linked it.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 22:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No, no. I meant that is already linked in the third paragraph of the lead. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:18, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "On hand" sounds rather informal, I think it could be re-worded.
 * Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Should an edit-notice be added to remind editors that it is written in British English?
 * The "Use British English" template is already in the article for the bots. Added a template to the talk page. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Chadwick would have liked that. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:18, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * In the note at the top, "gynaecologist" would be British English.
 * Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Similarly, please make the use of "ionisation" consistent - it should be with an s unless you are writing in oxford english.
 * Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "Von" should not be capitalised.
 * Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Why did you use "gramme"?
 * I thought this was British English and "gram" is American. Switched to "gram".  Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * If you can access the OED, it comments "The spelling gram is now preferred to gramme in scientific use". I always thought "gramme" was slightly archaic. Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 22:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * British legislation uses the word "gram", but with the note that for UK legal purposes either "gramme" or "gram" is acceptable. Martinvl (talk) 10:18, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
