Talk:John N. Shive

Merger proposal
I propose that Shive wave machine be merged into John N. Shive. I think that the content in the wave machine article should be part of the notable achievements of Shive which also include the phototransistor. Woz2 (talk) 16:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because I'm merging content from a subset article. Thanks --Woz2 (talk) 16:12, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Result: Article was kept. Lesson learnt: never try to create an article in-situ Always draft a sandbox version first. Woz2 (talk) 12:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Request edit
At the end of the Shive wave machine section please add a sentence citing my posting:

A table explicitly mapping the wave machine mechanical quantities to electrical transmission line quantities has been posted.

...if worthy. Woz2 (talk) 20:31, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As written, the sentence would solely be a promotional plug for the mapping. If it was used to add information to the article it could be okay.  Ryan Vesey  Review me!  16:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Countdown
Can you help us get the article to home page featured article on that day, February 22, 2013? Woz2 (talk) 01:22, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I would suggest starting a peer review and pulling in as many people as possible to it (for example, by helping out at other peer reviews and then requesting the nominator help out at yours). That would be the best way to get this cleaned up for FAC. Silver  seren C 19:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

A user added this in 2017 and I haven’t been able to verify it. I suspect it is true, but Wikipedia requires a source of some kind. Viriditas (talk) 02:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Update: it took me a while, but I finally found a source, based on a 1995 Art Inventories Catalog survey for the Smithsonian American Art Museums. I will attempt neutralizing it and adding it back in with the new source. Viriditas (talk) 07:51, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
