Linus Pauling
What can I say, I liked it. Gentgeen 13:36, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Needs a longer lead section. Fredrik 13:50, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I expanded the intro (my first edit to the page). Gentgeen 20:53, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I've read it now and it seems fairly comprehensive. I did a few minor edits along the way. One thing that confuses me is the part about his education where it is said that he was "becoming one of the founders of the new science of quantum chemistry" at OAC and was later "becoming one of the first scientists in the field of quantum chemistry" when in Europe. Ideally one of these should be removed, but I'm not sure which. I also got the feeling that I wasn't reading "brilliant prose" in some other parts of the article – some paragraphs not being as fluently constructed as they could be – but I won't object on that ground. Neutral. Fredrik 22:02, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Support. Question: where in Wikipedia might this fact go? James Watson got Pauling's book as a present from Francis Crick, during their search for the structure of DNA  Ancheta Wis 09:59, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
