Is it realy unimportant if there is a mineral named after a person?

I searched Google for glist and for biotit, neither comes up. Do you mean biotite? my apologies if your first language isn't English. jimfbleak 18:24 31 May 2003 (UTC)

I think biotite is right and glist(probably an old word?) is Mica. Sorry for my English, I´m Austrian.

[edit] Massia-Biot Glider is not by Jean-Baptiste Biot

I think J.B.Bio in List of early flying machines is other Bio because Biot's glider flied in 1887,when Jean Baptiste Biot was already dead. (I´m Japanese)

You are right. The Massia-Biot Glider is attributed to a "J. B. Biot", but this can not be the Jean-Baptiste Biot of this article. I can find no info on the Biot of "Massia and Biot" other than a possible photograph, who does not look like Jean-Baptiste. The "J. B." may even be a mistake, as someone may have confused the two Biots; Jean-Baptiste did work on ballons, but not gliders. --A D Monroe III 19:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
