Talk:Ronald Melzack

Untitled
I am the copyright holder of the text for Ronald Melzack which resides on my website www.science.ca as you have discovered. I've never contributed to Wikipedia before, but I love what you are doing. I happened to be searching for Ronald Melzack's address (homepage) and I found it at McGill, but in the process I found a listing for Melzack at Wikipedia that contained no content, so I copied the content from my own page. I give permission for Wikipedia to use this content on the Wikipedia site. Will there be a recognition of the origin of this information at www.science.ca?

I don't think that the Patrick Wall reference is to the correct Patrick Wall. 69.86.51.234 21:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Emeritus professor
Re the first sentence of the lede, presumably he was professor before he was emeritus professor, and the former is a more significant role? "John Doe is emeritus professor" makes sense but once Professor Doe is dead it becomes an odd detail to include. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
