APPROVED Version 1.0

Congratulations on another Biology approval! Matt Innis (Talk) 20:46, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Alphabetical order puzzler

For some reason, this entry comes up under "F" instead of "T" on our list of approved entries -- all the index piping seems to be there, and the checklist is right -- what's amiss? Russell Potter 15:45, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

The first sentence

There is discussion that the first sentence of this article:

Should be replaced with:

The first sentence appears to be incorrect. The second sentence appears to be factual, but is unclear whether a biologist would consider that Twort actually considered the virus a bacteriophage at the time or f this came later. Either way, this changes the meaning of the sentence considerably, which would make it a content edit. The question is whether an editor would be willing to re-approve this article with a more accurately structured sentence. D. Matt Innis 03:58, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I like the second sentence although I see what the first sentence is trying to do. I don't think that the second sentence could be considered as Twort coining the term. Possibly it could be reworded to be more explicit. I'll think about it. Is one editor enough to change it? Chris Day 05:53, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
