Loaded language?

I'm not sure why this article describes Dr. Schwarcz as "a controversial professor" - there's nothing else in the article saying why he would be considered controversial, and it's not a word that comes to mind when I think of him. Similarly the statement that OSS "claims to be dedicated to demystifying science" (as opposed to "is dedicated to demystifying science") doesn't seem to be supported. Both of these appear to be the result of a recent anonymous edit - perhaps a bit of subtle smearing? Ashartus (talk) 20:28, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Template:R for citations

I have updated the wiki markup & moved the reference code to the bottom of the edit window under the heading references. Each reference is defined and uses Template:R to call the reference. This makes the wiki markup easier to edit and read. Please use this template when adding citations. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 01:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
