Draize test
Hi MS, I'll take a look later. As for peer review, I've personally never known it to sort out a problem, but by all means give it a try if you like. You make the requests at Peer review. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey. Sure, i'll have a look at it sometime today. Rockpocket 19:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Pro-Test - Thanks
Thanks for your note of appreciation. I'm glad you, and a few others, have contributed to the Pro-Test article in such a positive way, and your contributions to other subjects in the field have been very welcome. I agree that there are times when the quest for NPOV blinds people the reality of what we are reporting. I think its a credit to a lot of editors that they resisted getting involved in an "us" and "them" type of argument that others tried to promote, instead keeping good faith and sticking to the facts. Keep up the good work! Rockpocket 22:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I see your changes didn't last long, as you predicted. I tend to agree with your grouping, however, until there is significant content for Applied research, i don't think SlimVirgin will settle for it. And i can understand that. For ages i have been meaning to put together a section for Applied in the same was i did Basic Research. I'll try and get that done asap, and once that is in place, i think we have a good case for dividing it into 3 distinct sections (basic, applied, testing) with subsections where appropriate. As for persistance and patience. Well, i realised early on that a long game is required in editing these contentious articles. To be fair, there are a few "anti" editors who are generally fair and balanced. Working with them is generally a pleasure once they accept that you appreciate their mantra - "the Pro-testing POV is not default"! ;) Rockpocket 23:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Your advice?
Hello MedicalScientist. Its been a while since i have seen any of your excellent contributions in the animal experimentation sphere. Rgearding my previous comments (above), i finally got around to the applied research section! If you don't mind, I wonder if you could find the time to have a look at a related mini project i'm embarking on? Your opinion would be most welcome. Thanks.  Rockpock e  t  07:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
