A sorry, and an attempt to a more open discussion.

First, I am sorry that I mistook you for Dr. Bjeldanes, or working for Dr. Bjeldanes. I hope you will allow me to explain my concerns, and maybe we can work together to find a solution.

When I saw this page, I saw a list of 20 references which took up more than the text. I saw you edited the page quite a lot (and the text has certainly improved a lot!), but I then noticed that your last 8 edits were adding references (and two links to external sites), but not adding a lot of content. Now it was for me possible that you indeed used these 17 references for the text in the article (I have seen JACS papers with less text and more references, but it does strike me as odd that these were almost all to one group (as were the two external links). Again, I am sorry for my mistake, but to me that looked like someone from that group was adding the references himself. I big mistake of me, indeed.

I guess it is now time to move on. As you are (obviously) an expert in the field, could you add the number of the reference(s) you used for a certain sentence/statement to that sentence/statement? I guess it is then fair to move the references which have not been used in the actual text to a 'further reading' section (I will move them there shortly after this message). I will then gladly help to further improve the article.

I hope you will accept my apologies, kind regards, --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 19:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Mr Davallou, when you denied that you were Professor Bjeldanes I think it would have made things clearer if you had disclosed that you are a co-founder, with Professors Bjeldanes and Firestone, of ActivaImmune, a company that markets DIM under license from Berkeley. While this doesn't disqualify your excellent edits, disclosure would promote open evaluation. --Tony Sidaway 20:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
