Talk:Jeremiah Dwyer

Ambiguous short reference

There is a short ref attempting to link to "Stern 1920", but there are two sources by Stern published in 1920. The date values for those full citations should be changed to "1920a" and "1920b" and then the short citation should be changed to "1920a" or "1920b" to match the appropriate source. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:59, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

• This isn't a long article, so the lead doesn't have to be long. Maybe two or three more sentences?

• "His father was born in 1800 and immigrated from Ireland to the United States when he was eighteen years old. He settled initially near Hartford, Connecticut.[4] He moved from Connecticut to Brooklyn two years later in 1820. There he was a contractor's superintendent for many years.[1] Sometime in the mid-1830s he met and married a young lady by the name of Mary O'Donell who was from his hometown in Ireland." - Some of this is relevant, some of this less so. For instance, that Mary O'Donell was his mother has already been established. I'm honestly not sure what the best way to handle this is, I'll defer to your judgment since you're more familiar with the subject matter.

• "George Harrison Barbour, the vice president of Michigan Stove Company, gave Dwyer the idea to construct the World's Largest Stove for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and had his plant superintendent William J. Keep design the mammoth Garland kitchen range that weighed 15 short tons (14 t).[23][24][25]" - Consider moving this up to where you first talk about the Michigan Stove Company
