Why is there no mention of his temperature scale?

Correct date of death

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Dalton's date of death is stated as 1844. A line under Other Publications lists it as 1840.Dukesnyder1027 (talk) 17:20, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Statue?

Should could mention a statue in his honor in Manchester? 71.58.94.212 (talk) 03:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The article currently says: "The John Dalton building at Manchester Metropolitan University is occupied by the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Outside it stands William Theed's statue of Dalton, erected in Piccadilly in 1855, and moved there in 1966." Is this the one you mean? Thanks.
