Comments from Csisc[edit]

First, I thank you for your work about Ralph Vary Chamberlin, one of the most famous scientist in the world even if it is misconsidered by many people... The work is well structured even better than ones with GA Status. It involves a clear overview about his life, his studies, his works and his discoveries and this is required for many other works... However, you can expand all the parts and involve more information about the scientist by searching for quotes from the works citing Chamberlin and journals... The work can be also widened by citing the events related to Chamberlin, the tomb of Chamberlin, the rivalry of Chamberlin, the thoughts and ideas of Chamberlin about important issues and debates, the students of Chamberlin... These details can better your output and give it more length and quality. You can use for this fact some books, some journals... These details are important to see the other sides from the life and personality of Chamberlin. You can also cite the honours received by Chamberlin... This will give a better overview of this exceptional scientist. Furthermore, try to gather some information about his travels and explorations... You can explain how this affected his researches... You can write about the places in which he lived during his travels... You can write about his assistants when travelling aborad... You can write about the verifications that had been done about his work... You can cite if some of his discoveries had been falsified or not... You can cite if he is still an exceptional reference... You can cite if one of his students had an exceptional prize for works that had been initialized by Chamberlin... You can write about the conditions in which Chamberlin had worked and conducted his researches and you can also expand the part about the reasons of the death of Chamberlin. You have many ways to expand this work. So, try to do your best and feel free to answer me if you need further information.

Yours Sincerely,

Thank you for your comments, Csisc. Aside from the 1911 controversy I've so far found very few in-depth sources about Chamberlin that include such details- many sources are obscure and scattered, or only briefly discuss his work. But hopefully I will obtain some of the 1958 Biologist articles this weekend. --Animalparty-- (talk) 03:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
