Thank you for closing the discussion. I will not be appealing. Thomas B (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Sad to see this mate, indefinitely was not warranted in my view. But out in the real world, outside the Wikipedia bubble, Mr. Hunt appears to be bouncing back, he was a featured speaker just last month at the Global Young Scientists Summit, which had the highest number of participants in a decade. In the end though, the people who matter saw this whole alleged incident for what it was: The Timothy Hunt Witch Hunt. And frankly, it's not uncommon for Wikipedia to be the outlier.

ANI

I have invoked you at WP:ANI#Inappropriate removal of NPOV tag by JayBeeEll. Thanks. Bon courage (talk) 07:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

I won't be participating too actively in any further discussion. Now that the consensus has been implemented (and has been more or less stable for about a week), I'm happy to let cooler heads assess it. My personal view is that the editors who support the expanded version should, out of respect for S Marshall's close, revert to the short version and begin to expand the rest of the article. When it reaches about 5000 words, there will be room for 250 words about the controversy, tempered by 250 words about his documentable views on women in science, which are altogether positive, the controversy notwithstanding.
