Fraser Macintosh Rose
[edit]- ... that Canadian physician Fraser Rose was named after the doctor who walked through a snowstorm in Nova Scotia to deliver him? Source: Rose was named after Fraser McAulay (1872–1943), the young local doctor who came on foot through a snowstorm to attend the birth. [[1]]?

Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is great! How about adding what he is known for, because he's not any physician. Article name: if Fraser Rose is his common name, that should be the article name, and appear on top of the infobox, with the longer as birth_name. I can't tell. - Article: You know that formalities request a ref per paragraph. You can duplicate refs, and/or combine short paragraphs, which is encouraged anyway. - Suggestion: organizations, and the medal in his name and other major award(s) to infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:23, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda, I looked at the name and there is no consistency in the sources, some are Fraser Rose, some Fraser M. Rose and some Fraser Macintosh Rose. I would suggest that, in the circumstances, Whispyhistory's decision to go with the full name is the correct one in this case. Regarding the hook, adding anything to it will diminish it I think. I have added citation required where applicable for Whispyhistory's attention. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:46, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Fine, let me know when citations are done. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you @Gerda Arendt: and @Philafrenzy:. The name was a challenge but it is definitely Macintosh. Thanks for advice on citations and paragraphs. I've amended and will re-read through. How is it now? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:13, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Looks like everything is cited now. Gerda's advice to combine sentences into one para where appropriate is good. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Suggestions: the prizes have similar names, - perhaps clarify that they are by different organisations for different achievements? - I wonder if the "plaque" sentence at the end really needs a header. - Good work, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:12, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks...Good advice. It reads better now.Whispyhistory (talk) 05:29, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- P.S. Refs 5 & 7 still lack full cites, dates, volumes, etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:22, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- P.P.S. Ref one doesn't redirect properly and some clarification is required on what an "excellent G" is. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Both fixed. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:44, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
