[edit] Crud stub

I strongly suspect this page was inserted to support fringe arguments relating to race. Shabby with GPOV (Gushing point of view). I am ignorant of this indivdual, but a quick search reveals controversial reseacher. Not a ref for former featured article Race. Fred 14:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi There was no intention of supporting arguments relating to race when this biography was inserted, only one of informing, which is the aim of Wikipedia. Mr. Gooch is a rather controversial researcher yes, but i do not feel that this means he shouldn't be allowed an opinion, after all both Giordano Bruno and Charles Darwin (amongst many others) were rather controversial researchers (and to some extent Darwin is still controversial depending on where you reside geographically). i did not want to go into too much detail about Mr. Gooch as it is a rather large body of work that he hypothesis's, perhaps too large to summarise on a Wiki page, which is probably why some people may refer to him as controversial and his work as fringe arguments relating to race.

if you have any suggestions as to how this can be brought up to speed without using GPOV's, and, with the normal procedure for referencing i would be happy to alter it, i must admit i have not added much to Wikipedia so i may appear rather novice to most standards, i can only apologise.
