 * This article has really taken off! I assume you're a descendant of the Ostranders?--Bedivere (talk) 20:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I certainly didn't remove the picture. I have just put an appropriate template on the painting just in case there's any confusion.--Bedivere (talk) 22:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

George Poe at Wikia genealogy. Don't forget to add info here, we can write articles about the Ostranders by clicking the red links. I moved a copy of the article here. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm delighted with the way this is going. I still find "Mary Elizabeth Ellicott Poe (1874-?)" odd; it seems unlikely that his parents would have had another child when they were over 60.  Why does she have the same name as her sisters?  I suppose they could have died.  Since Arthur Ostrander was born in 1895, he couldn't have been 10 in 1907.  Happy to help further if I can.--Bedivere (talk) 13:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Arthur Frederick Ostrander‎
Hi Greg. Please read the guidelines on WP:BIO. Bongomatic (talk) 13:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to dispute the article further, but your statement "I am trying to ensure his contributions to the respirator invention are given the credit they deserve" pretty much sums the definition of a WP:COI. Does having assisted in the development of an invention that "contributed to medical science" may or may not be notable (the biography guidelines frown on inclusion for a single notable reason). I don't have a view either way on that point. However, the fact that the only person who thought he was sufficiently notable for an article is his kin is strong evidence that such view may not be objective.
