[edit] Institute of Psychiatry
Hi there, please feel free to add the sections you've suggested to the IOP article. I work there currently but don't know all that much about those sections. Remember, be bold! --PaulWicks 18:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills
Well now!! Lisle45 appears to be an employee, I corrected the bits that were obviously wrong, ill informed or just misleading. Good luck with the copyedit, it was not something that was very high on my list of things to do; but much of the hypobole could be removed and it would improve the article.

hello notreallydavid. i read your edits on hunter scott--the acclaimed catalyst of the exoneration of mcvay. Do you know him? I have heard him speak before and he is a very religious person.
[edit] Thanks for your note
Hello Notreallydavid. I just wanted to say thanks for your note. Yes I have read Ackroyd's work and would agree with your assessment of it (actually your words could apply to all of his writings, His biography of Dicken's is a favorite of mine). I would say that D&D was written for the stage and, therefore, not meant to be as deep and penmetrating as "Last Testament...'. But that is just me being a bit defensive since it was D&D that inspired a life long interest in Wilde. Price performed it at two different theaters here in Denver in the late 1970's and I was lucky enough to see it four different times and I was moved by it each time (it might be something do, in part, with my being at just the age where Wilde's skewering of middle class morality was so apropos to the world that I was growing up in). When I read of Sinden's performance I wondered what it must have been like. As a yank I have only ever seen his sitcoms but I would imagine that his deep, rich voice had fun with the words of Mr Gay's play. In the summer of 2001 I was able to contact Mr Gay as it had been so long since I had seen D&D I was curious how much of my memories of it had become clouded over the years. He was kind enough to send me a copy. I read it aloud each year on Oscar's birthday, though I don't really do it justice. Once again many thanks and happy editing here at wikipedia.
