Thank you to whomever wrote the core of this article. That said, I don't think this was written by a native English speaker, or it was translated from (hopefully an open) source via an on-line translator.
Article is also missing information about Goodyear's time in Europe, mainly his time in England. If I ever come across a source that I can refernce properly I will come back and add it.
I think I have discovered the source of the odd English - the entire article is actually the 1891 Scientific American biography referenced at the end. While using the Scientific American article wouldn't appear to violate any copyrights, I think that the source should be noted upfront. I am new to Wikipedia and don't know what the policy is on attribution.
[edit] Cleanup
I'm going to try to clean up this article to help it conform to the biography guidelines and Template:Biography and have a greater degree of organization. Also, the content added at the end added by 203.84.136.6, although in the wrong place, seems to add meaningful content, so I'll try to incorporate that too. Dalstadt 04:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Woburn, 1838
There appear to be two conflicting stories here: in the first Hayward was using sulfur, but applying no heat; in the second he was heating the stuff, but didn't know when to stop. I am, for the time being, deleting both and leaving the common elements. We need to find which was correct, and revert just that one story. Jd2718 18:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Closeup
Why put the closeup when the original photo is already there? Yo breath stank! Lauren! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.157.69.3 (talk) 19:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
