Someone can probably take a photograph of Sir Tom and put it here. – Kaihsu 19:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At my request, Tom Blundell himself got open-license permission for some photos of him, which I am now using. In a letter of Nov 3, 2015, Tom Mayle and Chris Green wrote to say they are happy to put three of their photos of Prof Sir Tom Blundell in the public domain with no restrictions. Credit would be to "Photography & Graphics, Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge". Dcrjsr (talk) 22:53, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dcrjsr: While I do not doubt that the above contributors authorized the use of their photos, since you and not them uploaded them to Commons, explicit evidence of permission from copyright holders is needed on file (and I believe copyright generally belongs to the photographer, not his or her institution, unless copyrights are contractually acquired by institution, e.g. images created during official duties). See COM:OTRS for details on faithfully demonstrating evidence of permission. Note: I am not affiliated with OTRS; am only trying to ensure all free content is properly sourced and licensed to prevent future conflict or confusion. Best, --Animalparty!

I have indeed now sent the letter pdf to OTRS. I don't know how I could post the actual pdf image here (since that letter itself is not obviously open license) for future proof. Or what strategy would prevent similar issues from being questioned on other scientific biography pages. I'd much appreciate any such advice -- thanks! - Dcrjsr (talk) 17:37, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions to science - too vague

The article isn't very clear about what his contributions to science are. pgr94 (talk) 13:23, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've improved that point somewhat, but will continue adding information when I can. - Dcrjsr (talk) 19:07, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
