Talk:John Marley (mining engineer)

Comment
Not sure I'm ready to perform a full GA review on this, hence I'm leaving this comment here instead. But: this article says "In 1846 he became resident viewer at Woodifield Colliery, the start of his career at Bolckow & Vaughan". The Bolckow Vaughan article says "founded in 1864, based on the partnership since 1840 of its two founders, Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan". So: which of these three dates is the right one? In general, the Marley article could use a brief overview of what a colliery is (since some readers may not be familiar with the term and our link on the term goes to an unhelpful page about local geology) and how the industry was organized at that time. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:14, 2 December 2015 (UTC)


 * David, thanks. I've added a gloss for colliery (coal mine). BV became a publicly listed company in 1864; Mr B and Mr V had worked together relatively informally since 1840, as a partnership not a public company. 1846 was the personal start date for Marley, so there's no contradiction to explain.
