  == 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 isn't 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.   I'm 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 father's 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: richard.walker133@ntlworld.com    .
