The original version of this article included the senatance "He was later disgraced after a torrid affair with a 35 year old society woman." It also includced several inaccurate statements (Giving Coster's nationality as British; stating that he was a chemist rather than a physiscist; saying that he lived in the 18th Cent rather than the late 19th and early 20th cents). I have not been able to verify this allegd fact, but I found no verifiabl sources other than those dealing solely with the discovery of Hafnium. This could be a fact, for all i can tell, but without a source it does not belong in the article.

Several basic facts are still needed. Coster's birth and death dates, and any information about his career aside from the discovery of element 72.

[1] is an unreliable source. Coster obtained his PhD in Leiden, and then spent a few years in Lund with Siegbahn, and in Copenhagen with Bohr, and was then appointed in Groningen, in the Netherlands. We need a native speaker of Dutch to fix this up, since all the relevant info is in the Dutch biography JdH 09:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-04-17T09:10:00.000Z","author":"JdH","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-JdH-2006-04-17T09:10:00.000Z-DESiegel-2005-09-01T17:21:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
