Wrong information

[edit]

In 1889, Jacobi became professor in Bonn, not in Cologne. By the way, there was no university in Cologne at that time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.232.254.83 (talk) 09:43, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Shreevatsa (talk) 17:17, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I subscribe to these suggestions with the addition that the editor should have verifiable references at hand to support the changes they make and note the references when they make the changes. I changed the "noreferences" banner for this article to "refimprove". I think some of the mysterious information is a translation of German Wikipedia. I wish mistakes got corrected quickly, and often they do, but for a less-visited article like this they may hang around for awhile. I saw one project above rating this article at B, but I think start is more realistic, although a good case might be made for C. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 17:18, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
