Talk:Lewis M. Branscomb

Major Rewrite
Branscomb is a major figure and needs a WP bio, but the previous version of this article had major problems: These were compounded by the fact that the previous writer seems to be a non-English speaker who looked up English words in a (Chinese?) dictionary. Obviously we all welcome international contributions to the English WP. I hope the previous writer is not discouraged, but he/she should consult a colleague with better English skills.
 * irrelevant personal details about his family (also in doubtful taste)
 * blatant advertising for a particular Chinese publishing company

So, I've done a rewrite in ordinary WP style. If anyone spots anything in the previous version that I should have saved, but didn't, please edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ServiceAT (talk • contribs) 19:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

World War II service
Although Branscomb served in the United States Navy, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas during the time period of World War II. Based on his birth date, and the fact that he graduated from college in 1945 (he would be almost 19 at the end of World War II), more information is required to establish a defining role in World War II. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of World War II was removed from the article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:58, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
