Roy Yorke Calne
Hi, please check out Roy Yorke Calne. Recent edits have played down his contributions to immunosuppression as a means of combatting transplant rejection, even though the BBC's report of his death said that he was a pioneer in that field. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Redrose64: Thanks for informing me. I hadn't heard the sad news. Will look. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Sher-Gil
Have you seen this discussion? I don't think you have done too much on her but you might want to leave her for a while and do more in a month or two. You don't need to comment in the discussion unless you want to. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes... I thought I was doing a good thing, and I did not know what to comment. Will tidy a few things up and leave the subject alone. I am surrounding by a significant amount of literature on the topic and I may be unlikely to go back to it once I put it away. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- You are doing a good thing. I know exactly the situation. You get very familiar with the material and it is a rich seam and the DYKs come thick and fast. Then someone complains it is too much of the same (often they have done little themselves). The discussion was on your side. You can do as much as you want on her, as quickly as you like, it is only in the DYK context that you might want to space it out a bit. Don't put it all away now you are on a roll. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:38, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks... did a bit more..Whispyhistory (talk) 18:54, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- You can always do some stubs and DYK them later as five-times expansions. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I left a positive comment there. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
