I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thanks for contributing to the Wikipedia! I just reviewed this article and have approved it after heavily editing it and deleting sections that were not supported by independent, reliable sources. It takes a little while as a new editor to figure out what sources are OK, but generally the website of a company or organisation is not an independent or reliable source. Read WP:SIGCOV for more info about good sources. You'll see that I found quite a few sources for the article - I found these searching http://archive.org using the full text search. Don't use the search box at the top, for the Way Back Archive, that's for websites. Its the search box below. If you click in the search box you'll get more options. Use full text search to search for mentions of named people in old books, magazines etc. It looks like you're interested in writing about people who lived in the 20th century, and this is often a good place to find sources. You can also try http://books.google.com. Also please make sure to avoid promotional language. You used quite a lot of phrases that are not neutral in this article. I've removed them, but for your next article have a look at WP: BROCHURE for some examples of this type of language to avoid. Gushing language like he became a driving force behind its expansion, introducing new business practices, acquiring industrial equipment, and guiding the firm through a period of rapid growth or establishing itself as a leading American medallic manufacturer or the longest‑running and most influential are not neutral and unless independent, reliable sources (not the company website) say these things they are not appropriate in an encyclopedia article. Anyway, thanks for contributing, happy editing!
