Hi Diannaa,
Please insert back all the changes I spent hours submitting as soon as you can. I have added quotes from MY book on the subject and properly referenced it, and also contributed MY OWN expert knowledge to the page. I am an internationally recognised expert on the history of the DMP and have published a number of books and articles on the subject. I am happy to re-word some of the quotes more if need be.
The historical information on the page now is incorrect.
Thanks
Best wishes,
