Quoting names change
The rationale for quoting other names in a biog of a scientist or engineer is:
- rarely is anything discovered or developed by only one person
- a reader may think "who else worked on this?" or "I seem to recall someone else was his rival". It is reasonable to anticipate this by offering a few other appropriate names.
Here, we can use [1] to select a short list of names. Obviously, the list can be adjusted by editors, but it should not be too long. There is always a possibility of doing a Simple version of the En wiki 'History of radio' page. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:23, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
