Please do not add or change content, as you did at Buckminster Fuller, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 01:46, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- The article doesn't state that Fuller invented it, he just popularized it and gave it a name. Acroterion (talk) 01:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- From the existing text:
"At Black Mountain, with the support of a group of professors and students, he began reinventing a project that would make him famous: the geodesic dome. Although the geodesic dome had been created 26 years earlier by Dr. Walther Bauersfeld, Fuller was awarded United States patents, even though he neglected to cite Bauersfeld's prior art in his patent applications. He is credited for popularizing this type of structure. "
- You could help by giving that an appropriate citation. Acroterion (talk) 01:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- I've protected the article for a little while so you can find references, and so you don't get into difficulty for adding unreferenced statements of opinion - you need clear secondary-sourced academic documentation for your assertion, not your interpretation of Fuller's omission and of patent law. The article makes it clear that he was at least dishonest in the patent application, but none of it is referenced, and you would help by providing citations, no matter how you view Fuller's conduct.
