This is a really incompetent implementation of a box; See talk:J. B. S. Haldane. Why oh why oh why does it matter whether he was right or left handed? (etc). — Dunc| 09:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dunc, I am interested to hear which things in particular are not implemented correctly. Please let us know and it can be fixed. No problem. Discussion on handedness is now at talk:J. B. S. Haldane. Best regards, bunix 12:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dunc, OK two weeks have passed to give us a chance to sleep on it. In the absence of any futher objections, I am now reinstating the box. In order to respect your comments, I have commented out the chirality field. Best regards, bunix 13:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
