Deleted Article on David Alan Walker FRS Professor of Photosynthesis    Dear Moonriddengirl   I am writing on behalf of my father David Alan Walker I was referring a friend to the article included on Wikipedia when we noticed it had been deleted My father isnt yet aware of this though I think it may upset him considerably He was rather pleased to find he had been included on Wikipedia in this way since he uses this resource often in his own internet research You might say he was tickled by this entry at the very least Unfortunately my father is very seriously ill at present which is why I am writing myself to see if we can get this issue resolved between us I would hate to think that he might take a look at these pages and see he has been deleted in his current state of health I think he would find this very distressing   Im sure you will have taken this action on the basis of a sound rationale regarding copyright As an academic myself I am very aware of the issues concerning plagiarism that arise in relation to internet publishing and it is very encouraging that people are actively working to raise the standard of referencing on this popular site in particular However I would have thought that a qualifying statement about the accuracy of referencing or the lack of it would have been sufficient to resolve this problem It is difficult to see what the problem may have been without looking at the article and checking its sources myself Alternatively I would be happy to write an article about my father or even better ask one of his colleagues to write one on his behalf I have no idea how to go about this but would be very grateful if you could advise me how to do this   It sounds like you are tremendously busy and I understand you are away at present however I would be most grateful if you could help me resolve this as soon as possible as given my fathers age and serious nature of his illness this is a matter of some urgency   Sending thanks in advance for taking time to help with this matter   yours sincerely  Richard Walker son of David Alan Walker FRS  I can be reached at the following address richardwalkerntlworldcom
