Draft:J P V MADSEN[edit]

There is some content at Draft:J P V MADSEN that may be added to this article. Could an editor familiar with this topic please take a look? Brad v 05:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Legacypac just merged everything into the article. Thanks, @Legacypac:!

Should be a biography, not just a report on research endevors[edit]

The article ignores the first 21 years and last 13 years of his life. There should be at least a brief mention of things in these time ranges.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:26, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails MOS[edit]

I think I have made at least most subsequent references say Madsen, not his initials, which is the Wikipedia MOS standard. However some may want to check. There are also probably still some & that need to be replaced by and. The style of using the & to link lots of things needs to be revised, I did this some but there is need for more.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:28, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive coatracking[edit]

This article has very excessive coatracking. I cut back a huge discussion of Faraday and a few others, but there are still other examples in the text that bring up things with no obvious link to Madsen.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive abbreviations[edit]

There are lots of abbreviations in the article. It is not always clear what they stand for. This could be made more clear.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:32, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
