Untitled

Oooops! Clearly this was a copyright infringement, and I have now altered the relevant sections. Of course, the irony is that the description of his medical career is the least interesting aspect of Tallis, and the first two paragraphs could be rewritten radically or even omitted. The salient section is the last bit (about his books) which I will beef up later on.

Anyway it should be ok now.

Desert Island Discs appearance

Polymath? Says who?

Does Wikipedia have a definition of the term, that vanity articles like this must satisfy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.227.194 (talk) 13:04, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your reference in the article itself because it is not customary to list this kind of media appearances on WP. Downloads of the programme from rhe BBC site are blocked by the copyright holders of the programme format, the Plomley estate I think. Philip Cross 22:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are there now enough references to remove the banner asking for more?

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 01:49, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
