• It's fine to use alternating current and AC, but you just need to put (AC) after the first mention of alternating current, to make it clear the abbreviation means the same thing.

• Link flagship

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:21, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "Shallenberger ran the experiments of alternating current apparatus which had been imported from Europe." - This doesn't quite read right, can you rephrase this?

 Done - rewrote accordingly. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "resign from the Westinghouse company but he continued" - Should company be capitalized?

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• George Westinghouse is a duplink

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "One thing led to another and eventually a few weeks later he built the first alternating current measuring meter." - Not quite encyclopedic tone here

 Done - reworded accordingly. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• "In 1888 Elihu Thomson patented a walking-beam meter," - Comma after 1888

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:29, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• Is there a way you can combine the Later life and death and Personal life sections? Those are both super short sections.

• Ref 12 is dead

 Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• Look on WorldCat for the OCLC numbers for the pre-ISBN sources. For instance, here's the link for Jordan 1914 [1]. The OCLC is in the details section

• I don't think the hatnote is necessary. The first and middle name of a person being the same as the first and last name of another isn't really a confusion point. For instance, there's no hatnote to George Washington at George Washington Carver.

• Consider adding an infobox person. This isn't a GA requirement, but it would be nice.
