Article name...physicist?
editI thought Thomas was most notable as a skeptic. Does a bachelor's degree in physics make Thomas a "physicist"? It looks like this stub (identifying Thomas as a "physicist") was created exclusively to legitimize Mr. Thomas skeptical viewpoints. I can't find a scientific paper he's published, and his employer, "Quatro Corporation, now defunct) for which he claims to have been a "senior scientist" appears to have been some kind of VC or business development firm. What's up here? [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wndl42 (talk • contribs) 05:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Actually Dave was published in Scientific American December 1980, Volume 243 Issue 6. His article on Mirror Images was featured on the cover (of which I have a signed copy). Keith Mailloux — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.40.19.3 (talk) 21:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Page Improvement
editI intend to improve this page. If anyone has any comments or has anything they want me to add, please leave it here. Deubug (talk) 07:07, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- Deubug - Looking forward to seeing the changes. Sgerbic (talk) 04:41, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Rewritten page now published as it is as good as I can get it at the moment. You will notice that it is photographically challenged. If anyone has any pictures to add then do so with my blessing. Also some of the citations are not as strong as I would like. Again, if anyone would like to improve on these then go for it. Happy editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deubug (talk • contribs) 20:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Copy edit/clean up references list
editI'm going to tackle the copy edit of this page and clean up the reference list code in the process. Will update when finished. Light&highbeautyforever (talk) 20:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. I noticed it's been un-tagged as needing copy editing, but is still quite hard to read in places. I have little experience copy editing but tried to clean it up a bit. I think it would benefit from a lot more work, to be honest. Nationality and Citizenship both listed as 'American' doesn't seem right, but I am unsure what the correct thing to put there would be. --Squitchtweak (talk) 01:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
