Expansion
[edit]I've just added a little chunk of information to this article. I've opted not to remove the cleanup tags for now, until someone with more experience than I have can eyeball the article. I do intend to come back to it, as it's bothering me that I couldn't locate more information on things like precise date of birth, his wife, his children, etc. (If anyone wants to help track that info down, that would be fantastic.) In the meantime, please do tinker with things and fix any mistakes I made! If you're really nice, you'll also drop me a note and share some of your wisdom, so that I can learn from my errors.

"Disputed"
[edit]@Ivetsaksone: It is not disputed that Fry is known for the Post-it Note, so it's inappropriate for the Infobox to say a dispute exists over the reason he is known. Reliable sources have reported Amron's lawsuits, so we can too, but reliable sources do not describe inventorship of the Post-it Note as "disputed." Use of that word is your characterization, and I believe such characterization is a case of prohibited synthesis. DonFB (talk) 00:54, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
@DonFB: prohibited synthesis. “This would be improper editorial synthesis of published material to imply a new conclusion, which is original research performed by an editor here.[9] "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article.”
The “original research performed” has clearly been published by reliable sources numerous times, the same Post-it Notes invention Art Fry is known for, as a disputed argument. Therefore, I believe it acceptable to note it’s “disputed”. Ivetsaksone (talk) 12:55, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
