[edit] Miscellaneous
Why exactly has this been moved to J. Norman Lockyer. Why not Joseph Norman Lockyer? G-Man 23:05, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- At some point the above apparently was addressed, as the article is now Joseph Norman Lockyer. - Astrochemist (talk) 15:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Knighthood?
This site: http://www-solar.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~clare/Lockyer/knighthood.html says he was knighted. Does anybody have a better reference? 24.78.106.209 (talk) 08:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Science and Controversy, a Lockyer biography by A. J. Meadows, says that Lockyer became a KCB in 1897 (page 237). According to Wikipedia's article on the Order of the Bath, this would allow Lockyer to use "Sir" before his name. I assume that this constitutes his knighthood, but I defer to others for details on CB, KCB, and so forth. - Astrochemist (talk) 15:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
