Is anyone working on this? I'm new to editing files on Wikipedia, so if this is the incorrect place to put this, I apologize! I have found one picture for Rufus P. Turner, and some more Bio facts, but I am not sure how to upload/edit them into Wikipedia. Feedback please. Thanks!!NeoLuigi (talk) 21:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is very little information available about this guy. Any pictures, birth and death dates, etc would be great. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

This man was probably the most important person in popularizing transistors, outside the Regency Radio and 5 years before it. As one of the preeminent electronics writers, this article needs to be here. I agree that the page needs more information, but it is hard to come by.
