Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/William george nicholson geddes
This is my first proposed article for Wikipedia, and as you can see I have made an error in using lower case for middle and surname where upper case letters are appropriate. My apologies, but I have not been able to edit the title to correct this. Advice (if the article survives the deletion challenge) would be welcome.
As regards eminence, George Geddes was undoubtedly the leading Scottish civil engineer in the latter part of his career, and until his death. He was senior partner of the largest Scottish firm of consulting engineers, Babtie Shaw and Morton (now part of Jacobs Engineering) and was responsible for the engineering of many major projects, including shipyards on the River Clyde, Belfast (Harland and Wolf) and dams such as the prestressed concrete dam at Allt-na-Lairige, still one of the pioneering uses of this technique. As President of three professional Institutions, and an Honorary DSc and CBE, he was clearly recognised by his peers as an eminent engineer. I recognise that the article does not do him justice and hope that I may be permitted a little more time to add to the credentials for inclusion.
