Slipher's work on infrared spectroscopy and comet-like nebulae seems to be less relevant than the main topic of the original article, Slipher's role in the discovery of the expansion of the universe. This addition may distract readers searching for information on the expansion of the universe, but it is a good addition to the biographical sketch of Slive himself. Neutrality-wise this addition is neutral and presents factual information without any apparent bias. The content is balanced and the quoted sections are good, but the source of the "Add to an Article" information is not labeled. Overall it is good.

Piper Response to Kwang1484's Peer Review
Regarding the first point, I respectfully disagree. Those works were part of how we discovered the later discussed expansion of the universe and it a part of his history. Regardless of if it is distracting or not, it was documented and did occur, and the option not to cover it would potentially come off as biased. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, and to not include information regarding someone seems counterintuitive. I don't think the point of an article is to have a main point, but to cover with good sources the history of that article. My partner labeled the "Add to an Article" information.

Garrett's Response to Kwang1484's Peer Review

The infrared spectroscopy and nebulae are Slipher's main discoveries and work. They are not very well fleshed out in the original article so we are adding more information regarding those topics. I don't believe it's a distraction, as those are major aspects of Slipher's career. We will add a source to the "Add to an Article" section.
