Talk:Margaret Howe Lovatt

Perceptions
The Perceptions section of this article appears to represent original research. The cited sources do not support the claim that the general reaction to the experiment focused more on the sexual nature of Howe Lovatt's behavior than on the experimental results. A single reliable source (the Christopher Riley article in The Guardian) and a questionable source (the SkyDancing blog) are insufficient to draw such a conclusion. Also, making such a statement assumes that the experiment had results, which have been largely ignored by the media. The facts appear not to bear that out though -- the experiments appeared largely fruitless; Peter never acquired anything resembling human speech. I would further point out that the section you have added is grammatically a mess. If it is to be retained at all (a point that I content), it should be rewritten as:
 * Although there is much information published about the relationship between Howe Lovatt and Peter, little is conveyed about the results of the research. The recurring narrative of the "Dolphinarium" reduces the work of Howe Lovatt to the provocative headline of interspecies sex rather than scientific research.

 * On further review of this section, it appears to be something of a personal opinion rather than any stated fact. I'm going to delete it for now. Please do not restore without discussion first. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
