External links modified edit

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Duncan Napier. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Original Research edit

I have added an "Original Research" template, in reference to several citiations to letters in private collections. (But I have also taken the opportunity to add a reference to Eric Melvin's 2021 book about Napier.) Mike Marchmont (talk) 09:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

February 2022 edits edit

I have now rewritten large parts of this article. In doing so, my aims have been:

  • To add further information about Napier's life and work.
  • To reduce the information about the present Napier's business. This is only marginally connected with Napier himself.
  • To replace the references to primary research (private collections, etc.) with references to verifiable sources.
  • To improve the style and tone of the article.

I've also been able to provide some images to illustrate the article. Mike Marchmont (talk) 08:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
