Francis Harry Compton Crick
Template:Reply to Please provide a citation for the changes you just made to the Francis Crick page changing his full name from Francis Harry Compton Crick to Francis Harold Compton Crick. I can find no such reference myself. Indeed, everything that I have found, including the very first reference on the page which is for his name in the lede, says that his name is Francis Harry Compton Crick. The only variation I have found is Francis H. C. Crick which is no help. At this point, it looks to me like your changes amount to WP:OR which should be reverted on the basis of WP:NOR. In the spirit of WP:AGF I am asking you for a citation rather than just reverting the changes out of hand. Shortsword (talk) 17:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- Having not received any kind of answer from Template:Reply to for the question posed above, I have reverted the edits Unknown Voice Actor made changing Francies Harry Compton Crick's full name. Shortsword (talk) 03:19, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Personal communication as source
I removed the reference below from the '1951–1953: DNA structure' section. Personal communications can't be used as sources since they aren't reliable and can't be confirmed independently.

- Please be more specific: what should the article say/not say about this? I wasn't able to find any sourcing about this that mentioned Crick. Possibly it is this.[1]--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:34, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- I am not experienced enough editor. Please make the decision what part of supplied by me information is qualified to be added and make the corresponding edition. Thanks! Alexander R. Povolotsky (talk) 17:43, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
