The DNB has his date of birth as 20 June 1886 not the 30th? (I have known previously Wikipedia to have dates correct when the DNB has been wrong). --jmb (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to 20 June since that's what Brock's recent article has. Perhaps the date can be checked with an independent source. - Astrochemist (talk) 21:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, what you have added so far is great! The only things I would change would be a couple of grammatical errors here and there but I would also add a picture or two of him and maybe his fellow researchers or something along those lines. It would help add some clarification if the person was interested in more than just his work and so forth. Spaghettiman19 (talk) 23:21, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this article could really use a picture of him but I cannot find one that I can use legally for wikipedia. (Chriscorbaz (talk) 04:25, 20 November 2013 (UTC))[reply]
