Article was adapted from 1911 enc.
- I think this fact should be mentioned somewhere on the main page. Also, there's a problem with the number in the very last sentence. AxelBoldt
Have put a note on the main page (I'll do this for all articles in future). There seems to be some problems with whatever OCR the text was scanned through, some of the text of other articles is almost unreadable. sodium
I think you are right there is a lot of information that is not on this page that should be. It would be really cool if I could talk to John Dalton. The name of this page refers to talking to John Dalton. I am mad that it is deceiving.
Unsurprising for a 1911 source, the text simply describes Dalton as a sloppy experimentalist. There should be some mention of the appearance of Dalton's work in support of the Law of Exact Proportions as a case study in Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. -- Alan Peakall 18:29 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
There are several links to this page that mean to be going to The Kinks' John Dalton. Specifically, at least The Kinks and Mick Avory erroneously lead here. I don't know if there is a real page for the other John Dalton, but somebody ought to correct it.
On the other hand, it's pretty funny to be on The Kink's page, and click on the name of the former bassist and end up here.
- I have now created a John Dalton (disambiguation), and fixed those two links for the musician (as well as one more for a US secretary of the navy). andy 11:14, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
