What can I do to improve this page?

I was a collaborator with Ray Lyttleton from 1975 to his death and hold a number of private scientific communications between us, relating to papers we wrote and research (unpublished) we were still doing. I would like to see this page expanded to say more about him. I owe so much to him, about science, integrity in research, as well as my career. The page seems so thin. Does not even mention his cricket career or his ork on why a cricket ball swings. Or his work at JPL Jpff (talk) 22:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
