Reads like a Resume?[edit]
I don't usually make edits to wikipedia so correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it odd to put something like this as the second paragraph?
Born in Washington, D.C., Nye began his career as a mechanical engineer for Boeing in Seattle, where he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on 747 airplanes. 2600:1700:A6B0:6EFF:BD28:C7E3:245C:E23D (talk) 09:15, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- @2600:1700:A6B0:6EFF:BD28:C7E3:245C:E23D I personally think it's fine; the information is true and biographical. None of the words used are WP:WORDSTOWATCH. JacobTheRox (talk) 07:52, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
