Disclosure

I am the "Thomas M. English" identified as a former affiliate of the lab. Before you interpret that negatively, please read the source supporting the statement that I was with the lab. The "Tom English" who appeared at the Panda's Thumb to bash ID and explain that he was standing up for Marks' academic freedom was indeed I. My pre-controvery opinion that there was no ID content at the website is documented at Talk:No free lunch in search and optimization.

Certainly Dembski is still trying to achieve his ID ends, but the Dembski-Marks collaboration seems to be trying to develop legitimate means. Marks is a brilliant engineer, and I definitely have not ruled out the possibility that he and Dembski will generate results that I can use (even if Dembski abuses them).

It was impossible to adequately discuss the controversy in Marks biography, due to restrictions on sources for biographies of living persons. Here blog sources are OK under certain circumstances. Note that I clearly identified the bloggers and the slants of the blogs.

I'm doing my utmost to abide by WP:NPOV. I ask that you do the same. ThomHImself (talk) 09:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given your advocacy on behalf of Marks documented in this article, I do not think that we can take your claims of dispassion at face value. I am therefore tagging this article for WP:COI and would request that you cease editing it per that policy. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 11:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
