Note, do not cite Wikipedia onto itself

Greetings, I approved your draft at T. T. Vernon Smith, so it's published now. I did some cleanup since you had section headings slightly wrong (using sub-sub-headings when you should use sub-headings), and some other minor bits.

The big thing though, I remove the citations to other Wikipedia articles. It is absolutely not an option to cite Wikipedia on itself, since that would be circular reasoning. Instead, please take a look at GoogleBooks, an note there are several books (modern and historical) which discuss the controversy over the Partridge foghorn. I understand you may have some ties to the subject, but please stay neutral and do not cherry-pick from sources to make Smith look good. If some people say he invented it but some serious scholars note he's accused of stealing the foghorn design, you need to at least mention that for proper disclosure.

In general, take a look at GoogleBooks and see if you can find more substantiation for some of the stated facts in your article. Note you can instantly turn any GoogleBooks URL into a full Wikipedia footnote using http://reftag.appspot.com

Thanks for your contribution, hope you'll stick around! MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
