I must declare an interest becasue I collaborte with Dave, but by any standards making the front cover of Nature and Science and New Scientist in the year of your PhD is pretty exceptional and well worth an article, esp in the light of significant media coverage. I'm not putting in any of our work together and keeping it purely factual so I hope people will agree this is NPOV. If not please help improve. NBeale (talk) 10:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It might be an idea not to tag up the publications section with references to where his work has been discussed. Perhaps an expansion on what his work actually is would afford a place where these references can be added? Cheers, --PLUMBAGO13:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, a good point. But again to avoid COI cries I'd better not do this. FWIW our work together was discussed in a full-page article in the FT on 27-Nov-09 here and an editor other than me might want to add this. NBeale (talk) 15:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dave sent me a picture to upload for Wikipedia, stating that "This file was given to me by its owner. The copyright owner of this file has given it to me for uploading on Wikipedia. I can provide evidence that they have agreed to release it under a free license, for free use by anybody and for any purpose." I think I mistakenly uploaded it with the form claiming it was my own work (and I don't know how to correct this). I have uploaded another picture, which is my own work called DavidGRandJune08.jpg. If anyone is feeling very bureaucratic feel free to replace. As the article makes clear I have co-pubished with Dave and know him moderately well(though we haven't seen each other for a year or so) but I don't see how adding a picture can be said to be CoI.
