Spiny, here you are again editing an animal-rights-related article you know nothing about. Colin Blakemore very famously came to the attention of animal-rights activists over the kitten experiments. He is perhaps better known in the UK than any other research scientist because of this attention. You are quite right to request a source, of course, no matter how well-known a case it is, but to call it speculation is bizarre. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 07:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I've restored the material and added two sources (one newspaper, one animal-rights campaign) saying that it was the kitten experiments that made him notorious. There are hundreds of other sources available that say the same. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 08:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this still a stub? Or can that designation be removed? Scottkeir 18:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

It can be (and now has been) removed. Thanks! Semiconscious • talk 19:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
