Reversion

I reverted the addition of text from "Professor Dudley Williams ScD, FRS 1937 - 2010", as it is released under an incompatible license: BY-NC-SA (as described at WP:COPYOPEN and Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources#Can I copy from open license or public domain sources?). Wikipedia content, including imported, text must be free to use for any purpose, including commercial. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:25, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

At present, this biography has the title Dudley Williams, with disambiguation using (biochemist) to distinguish it from several other people called Dudley Williams. I propose moving the page over the current (correct) redirect at Dudley H. Williams for several reasons. 1) That is his full name and WP:COMMONNAME used in most of the article's sources, notably the biography at doi:10.1098/rsbm.2017.0009. 2) No further disambiguation would be needed. 3) The word "biochemist" is misleading in this context: Williams main contributions were to NMR and mass spectroscopy and were made while a staff member at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, not its department of biochemistry. Williams is not listed at list of biochemists, although he did have the title "professor of biological chemistry".

If no-one objects in the next week, I will make the request for an admin to make the move over the redirect. Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
