St John Harmsworth
[edit]- ... that St John Harmsworth designed the iconic Perrier bottle, based on Indian exercise clubs he used after being paralysed from the waist down in a 1906 car crash?

Interesting bio on good sources, however the first source leads to a 404 error. Interesting hook! - Minor requests for the article: I started using his name in every section, - please keep doing that. I guess "Perrier" should be capital, even in French. Please no all-caps, even if a source has it that way. Some paras are extremely short, - combine? - May I add an infobox, so that it doesn't look like an article about the bottle? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:04, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you Gerda Arendt. QPQ now done. Infobox added. Edwardx (talk) 20:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you! Can you find a replacement for the first ref (accessdate 2008, something seems to have happened)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda Arendt. I copied that ref from the Perrier article, but it does indeed appear broken. I have found another one which looks to have the same content, and have swapped it in. Edwardx (talk) 21:46, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
perfect! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
