In addition, numerous other things, including the viale Alessandro Volta in Florence, are named after the scientists, so either the "Honors" section should be expanded, or it should include a disclaimer as to its incompleteness.

[edit] Pictures

Do we really need this many images pertaining to Alessandro Volta? This is a little rediculous... I redid some of the formatting to make the article more aesthetically pleasing. Ben Tibbetts 12:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watch this page!

I just noticed some obvious vandalism that was more than 2 hours 40 minutes old on this page. If you can afford to add it to your watchlist, maybe having page on more people's watchlists will prevent this from happening again. Thanks! delldot | talk 18:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted

I've deleted someone's opinion on Volta after a crater being named after him. Megan102 07:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stop redirect

Björk's new album will be called Volta and I suggest that this page should not be the automatic redirect if a user searches for Volta. Whilst I don't want to insult Alessandro Volta, I think a Björk album may be a more popular search. If you don't feel this would be the case, then the search result should at least go to the disambiguation page. Rogwan 16:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed 100% about having a search for Volta lead to a disambiguation page. Jackcocoon 20:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battery Section

I think that the section for the battery should be expanded. Surely there must be an individual page somewhere on the site. If not, it would be good at add a diagram explaining how the battery works. Nikitakit 02:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Does anyone have an idea why this page is vandalised so much!? Rogwan 21:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
