TUNNY or Tunny?
The General report on Tunny does not use TUNNY. What then is the justification for the anonymous editor to insist on 'TUNNY'? This is contrary to WP:ALLCAPS --TedColes (talk) 07:44, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Denis Oswald NOT the IOC version
I have removed links to Denis Oswald (IOC) before and have done so again, after the links were added back in. Note that Denis Oswald (IOC) was born in 1947 and so could not have possibly worked at the Testery in Bletchley Park during the Second World War, ending in 1945. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.203.43 (talk) 05:32, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Date established
The General report on Tunny, Jerry Roberts' chapter in Jack Copeland's 'Colossus' and other sources say that the Testery was founded in July 1942. An anonymous editor at 86.157.13.186 disputes this, but, as yet, has not cited sources or used this discussion page to justify a different view. There are a number of other matters, including using 'TUNNY' instead of 'Tunny' that (s)he insists on without justification. The recent deletion of the 'Bibliography' section does not make the main text any more valid. I do think that this editor should consult the following as well as Wikipedia guidelines on overlinking WP:OVERLINK
