Hi there, John. I've made some changes to the History section to try to deal with the points you raised on the talk page. If I haven't got this right, please add some more comments. Thanks! TimVickers 03:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Looks OK now. I added a couple of references and a mention and xref to Maupertuis. John Wilkins 01:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the additions. If you had any general comments or suggestions, the peer review page is Wikipedia:Peer review/Evolution/archive1. Thanks again. TimVickers 02:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You've added inline references to this article that were incorrectly formatted. Please read WP:CITET and utilize inline references in that style. Numerous editors have spent a considerable amount of time formatting references correctly in an attempt to get this article to FA status. Please understand that we appreciate your edits, and we are striving to excellence! Thanks again. Orangemarlin 03:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't work out the format - can someone amend them for me? John Wilkins 04:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to David Hull. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for instructions. Thank you. Stating that someone has died requires a quality source.
