Hi there, please feel free to add the sections you've suggested to the IOP article. I work there currently but don't know all that much about those sections. Remember, be bold! --PaulWicks 18:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Well now!! Lisle45 appears to be an employee, I corrected the bits that were obviously wrong, ill informed or just misleading. Good luck with the copyedit, it was not something that was very high on my list of things to do; but much of the hypobole could be removed and it would improve the article.

hello notreallydavid. i read your edits on hunter scott--the acclaimed catalyst of the exoneration of mcvay. Do you know him? I have heard him speak before and he is a very religious person.

Thanks for your note

Hello Notreallydavid. I just wanted to say thanks for your note. Yes I have read Ackroyd's work and would agree with your assessment of it (actually your words could apply to all of his writings, His biography of Dicken's is a favorite of mine). I would say that D&D was written for the stage and, therefore, not meant to be as deep and penmetrating as "Last Testament...'. But that is just me being a bit defensive since it was D&D that inspired a life long interest in Wilde. Price performed it at two different theaters here in Denver in the late 1970's and I was lucky enough to see it four different times and I was moved by it each time (it might be something do, in part, with my being at just the age where Wilde's skewering of middle class morality was so apropos to the world that I was growing up in). When I read of Sinden's performance I wondered what it must have been like. As a yank I have only ever seen his sitcoms but I would imagine that his deep, rich voice had fun with the words of Mr Gay's play. In the summer of 2001 I was able to contact Mr Gay as it had been so long since I had seen D&D I was curious how much of my memories of it had become clouded over the years. He was kind enough to send me a copy. I read it aloud each year on Oscar's birthday, though I don't really do it justice. Once again many thanks and happy editing here at wikipedia.

Minor?

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Qwfp (talk) 15:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

OER inquiry

Hi Notreallydavid, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:45, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

USMLE article request

Hi @Notreallydavid, I noticed that you were doing some cleanup work on the USMLE article. I have an edit request on the Talk page there and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to weigh in. A source is being misused and the statements are not backed up by the study. It would be great to hear your take on this if you have a few minutes. Thanks for the help.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
