Out of a number of edits to the Publications section, mine to the opening line went beyond my knowledge. The original cite (to a line with 130, v. 170 in it now, to maybe the same end) was: [1].
The '5' in the cite with 'PMID' leads to a link -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/5 -- without any apparent Sharpless involvement. Along with 'pubmeddev' as author (with also then the awkward bracketed 'Author') led me just, first, to find, NE Sharpless' author page on the PubMed site and then to rebuild the line to reflect what I found: [2] It's not particularly elegant and may not do the best job with the subject. It seems basically right to me as it now stands, edited, but could maybe be improved further. I left the 'dev' in the index name from the old cite. Swliv (talk) 20:31, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
