Each contributed to the development of the incandescent lamp, but it was [Joseph] Swan who assembled the necessary components to make the first practical electric light bulb."
I'm saying he's British, which anyone over the age of 5 should know. What are you saying about him?

beforeoron within that very same wikipedia entry for Woodward:
"Moreover, the Edison claims,
as sustained in the courts, were not on the discovery of the principles of the incandescent lamp but on
a definite combination of parts?all well known?which resulted in the production of a practical form of the incandescent lamp."[1]"
so cause he was born in the UK he's british?
did he.. die in the UK?
