Hi there
Dr. Tatum~

Greetings, how are you? I recently did a lit review on Underwood's septa and came across our article on sinus lifts, which is currently written in such a poor format for the Wikipedia reader -- it is heavy on jargon, it assumed that the reader knows a lot about dentistry and dental surgical procedures and is just overall very unwelcoming to the layman. So my plan is to adopt it and fix it up -- and seeing how you are the innovator of the sinus floor elevation procedure from way back in the 1970s, perhaps we could do it together? Of your published work, all I could find on PubMed were the following: "Maxillary and sinus implant reconstructions" (1986) and "Sinus augmentation: 15 year..." (1995) -- certainly there is more. Can you post a nice topic bibliography here, and I'll use that to rewrite the article? Unfortunately, in its quest to maintain strict guidelines of verifiability, neutral point of view and no original research (the three tenets upon which Wikipedia is founded), Wikipedia cannot allow unsourced information to be presented as the main content of any article -- but if I can get a hold of your initial publications, I can redraft this so that it can be a useful source of information for may hundreds of readers.
