Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this interesting and well-written article. Consider paraphrasing the lengthy quotation in the "Career" section. Using a long quotation when the content could have been written in your own words can be considered a copyright violation (see WP:COPYQUOTE)..

Sources[edit]

Here are some secondary sources that could be used to improve the article:

The new alchemists : breaking through the barriers of high pressure - devotes several pages to Weir's work - search for "Weir"
African American firsts in science & technology - p.315 - also references some other sources (likely offline)
Diamond anvil cell, 50th birthday - in-depth discussion of his work
looks like there are plenty of sources on newspapers.com, if you have access Spicy (talk) 13:22, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
