Interesting life, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. ALT1 is ok, but can we perhaps say something about his specialty? In ALT1, how about "coined" vs. "originated"? I was surprised to read "white" as the first thing about him in the lead, understood with more context, but can it come later, perhaps? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think it would help to supply links to the places where he worked. Minden? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
