Wrong Argument[edit]

James Crows following argument is wrong: “Why was Weinberg’s paper, published the same year as Hardy’s, neglected for 35 years? The reason, I am sure, is that he wrote in German. At the time, genetics was largely dominated by English speakers and, sadly, work in other languages was often ignored.” Many geneticist all over Europe spoke German at that time and published in German journals, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.196.26 (talk) 09:26, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of questions[edit]

I am unable to confirm that he was Jewish, although I think that it is highly likely. Is it the practice in Wikipedia science articles to identify religion/heritage this way, when the person's contributions were not related to Judaism. Society for the Natural History of the Fatherland in Württemberg was the best I could do for a translation. It sounds stilted to me. Can you offer something better?

Answers: HIs Father was a Jew, his mother not. He was protestant.
         It is called Verein für vaterländische Naturkunde in Württemberg --> translated Society for national natural history in Württemberg.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.95.82.85 (talk) 07:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
