Joseph Henry Memorial edit
- ... that the old school building in Albany, New York (pictured) where Joseph Henry co-discovered electrical inductance is now named after him?
- ALT1:... that T. Romeyn Beck wrote his early works on forensic medicine in the same building (pictured) in Albany, New York, where Joseph Henry co-discovered electrical inductance?

Hook length, neutrality fine, copyvioless. Article the same. Photo is cleared. What I have problem with - and I don't want to sound too picky - is the references for the two facts that this hook is put together. We have Joseph Henry discovering inductance at Albany Academy, which is supported by the siarchives.si.edu site just fine. The second thing is that Joseph Henry Memorial actually in the same Albany Academy Park and that he did his researches within that building. I don't find GoogleMaps/ACME a valid reference for that. It just shows a building. None of the current sources identifies the building. Are there any other reference that connects the two facts (and verifies the latter)? Am I missing something?

- Well, I didn't intend for the ACME Mapper reference (and, if we don't consider Google Maps a reliable source, then why do we have a template for links to it?) to support the building being the same one, rather to support the descriptions of the surroundings. If you read the NRHP nom, you'll see that the very first page describes the building as being in Academy Park; the last page has a poorly-copied USGS map that nevertheless puts the building at that locartion. Ditto with the guidebook Albany Architecture. Both those sources mention Henry's discovery. Daniel Case (talk) 17:44, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
- Addendum: There are also coordinates on page 4 of the NRHP nom that, while not exact, are very close to the ones used in the article. Daniel Case (talk) 17:46, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your fast response. These sources will do just fine. But can I ask you to spread these refs within the article to those relevant sentences, which support the hook? Currently they ARE in the article but don't support directly the hook statement. Or better it'll be to include a new entry dedicated to back up the whole hook and have these refs attached to it. In case of the book it would be best to have the corresponding page numbers included in the ref as well. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 13:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- BTW, I almost forgot. Can you please include the QPQ in this DYK nomination? I don't see you having a surplus from your previous nominations. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 13:15, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, that was Theodore Morde. Daniel Case (talk) 03:18, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Good to go. Nice looking article. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 11:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
