Claiming this one. Article is reasonably long, so this may take a while. On the other hand, it looks in good shape. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:15, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

I made a series of minor changes. Revert anything you're unhappy with:
- Added the {{postnominals}} template
- Removed the academic postnominals per MOS:POSTNOM: Academic (including honorary) degrees and professional qualifications may be mentioned in the article, along with the above, but should be omitted from the lead.
- Added some ref=none cards to suppress some warnings generated by scripts I run.
- Removed the worlcat urls, which are covered by the oclc cards
- More controversially, I removed the summary paragraph of "Life". It is unnecessary as there is a summary in the lead and all the details are the article, and was unsourced (although the sources could be found elsewhere in the article)
- Fixed typos: "vigor", "ahs"
- added some commas.
- Fixed the Edinburgh link and added the page number. Other links look okay.
- The claim that he received the Tyson Medal for Mathematics and Astronomy in 1895 was unsourced. Corrected the date and added a source.
- Added a {{London Gazette}} link for his knighthood.
- Aside: the fact that he was second wrangler had me wondering who was first. It was Thomas John I'Anson Bromwich.
- Despite what the previous reviewer said, "Bibliography" is usually used for books by the subject. But meh.
