I've replied to your E. S. Dallas comment, agreeing with you. Hopefully other Wikipedians will come up with some suggestions for names of past Times journalists worthy of mention.

Your Thomas Dick Page
Dear Aletheia, I just added an image of Rev. Thomas Dick on your article, I was working on Mills observatory and found that you've already created the page on Thomas Dick. Best wishes, --Cyril Thomas 12:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Aletheia, this article made my day. I came to it via the David Livingstone article which I've been contributing to on and off for much of the year, since TD was one of his greatest influences. I'm interested in tracing the lines and influences running from the Enlightenment to the present-day acceptance of science by the Catholic and mainstream Protestant churches (in contrast to the war between science and Genesis fundamentalism), and TD turns out to be a major figure in this evolution. I have added a section on his legacy, some bibliographic details (interesting to see his complete works are published in the US and available on Amazon) and references, subheadings, and changed the emphasis of the introduction slightly. I hope it works, and I just wanted to say thanks for the enlightenment! Rexparry sydney 00:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm glad that someone appreciates the effort I went to dig up the info on Thomas Dick. Aletheia 20:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I stumbled upon your Thomas Dick whilst trying to find out more about a Rev S J Johnson FRAS who quotes his Practical Astronomer about the invention of the telescope. Very glad to see TD has an article. - Rod57 (talk) 22:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Gowan and Torrance
Hi Aletheia. I've added Torrance to the Educational Psychologists category. Gowan was already there. The Educational Psychologist article lists influential psychologists whose biographies appear in Zimmerman, B. J., & Schunk, D. H. (Eds.)(2003). Educational psychology: A century of contributions. Mahwah, NJ, US: Erlbaum. The idea was, to avoid starting a list that could easily grow to the hundreds, we only list the 18 with bios in the book. The book by Zimmerman and Schunk (who are themselves reputable) gives us an independent judgment of importance to the field. The category for educational psychologist serves as broader index for notable educational psychologists. Do you mind if I remove Gowan and Torrance from the list in the article? Thanks.

 * No, not at all. I was just trying to link their names to reelvant pages.Aletheia (talk) 18:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hugh and Robert Raup are apparently Brothers
After adding a reference to Robert Bruce Raup to the list of people from Springfield, Ohio, I noticed a reference to Hugh M. Raup in the same category. Looking at a online reference, I looked up the father and mother of Robert and discovered the same unusual names as the parents for both men. Although, this fact is in no reference that I can find, it appears to me that both of these moderately famous men are from the same immediate family. I wonder if I am the first to discover this fact?Aletheia (talk) 20:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
