Additional notes
Notes on possible directions for future work on this article: Will be submitting this article to various review processes, but leaving these notes here for now. Carcharoth (talk) 23:52, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * (1) Early period: King's College School entry age and whether this was before or after the move to Wimbledon; Sambrooke scholarship details could be expanded; there may have been a period (1903-1906) between school and pre-medical studies at King's College that involved the army; the mention in dispatches in World War I doesn't appear to have been gazetted; more details could be added on the Gold Medal awarded with his MS degree.
 * (2) Professional work: more could be added on his work on the larynx, especially later work including that by Philip Lieberman and colleagues; there may be more details available on the surgical instruments he helped design; more could be said on his work on the clinical textbook; he also co-wrote the entry for 'Voice' in the 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica (with Stephen Jones, who worked in phonetics at University College London, retired in 1937 and died in 1941), but the exact date for this is unclear (could have been in 1929 or could be later as the issue of the 14th edition was done in stages); more references to Negus and his collections may exist in the Wellcome Collection.
 * (3) Pictures: More relevant pictures would include: contemporary photographs of King's institutions from his era rather than current ones; photographs of items from his collections of dissected animals; and obviously a picture of Negus himself, freely licensed if possible, but with a non-free rationale otherwise; other possibilities might be photographs of his books.
