Content Gap: The current article provides a solid foundation on Bohr's early work and the Bohr model. However, it could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of his later career and broader influence.

Planned Additions:


 * Later Life and Advocacy:
 * Source: A. Pais (1986) Niels Bohr's Times will provide insights into Bohr's advocacy for peaceful uses of nuclear power after WWII.
 * This addition will address the gap by showcasing Bohr's continued scientific and philosophical influence beyond the development of the Bohr model.
 * The Bohr Model and Quantum Mechanics:
 * Source: J. L. Heilbron (1987) The Dilemmas of an Upward Mobility can illuminate the reception of the Bohr model by the scientific community and its limitations that led to the development of quantum mechanics.
 * This addition will provide a more nuanced understanding of the Bohr model's place in the history of physics.
 * Recognition and Awards:
 * Source: The Niels Bohr Archive can be used to explore lesser-known awards and recognitions Bohr received throughout his career beyond the Nobel Prize.
 * This addition will offer a more comprehensive picture of Bohr's scientific achievements.

Other Improvements:


 * The article currently focuses heavily on the technical aspects of the Bohr model. Consider adding a section explaining the model's impact on our understanding of the atom in simpler terms for a broader audience.
 * Review the citations and ensure they are formatted according to Wikipedia's guidelines.
 * Proofread the entire article for any grammatical errors or inconsistencies.

Expected Outcome:

By incorporating these additions and improvements, the Niels Bohr Wikipedia article will provide a more well-rounded and informative picture of this influential physicist. It will cover his scientific contributions beyond the Bohr model, showcase his later work, and offer a clearer understanding of his place in the history of physics.
