The title of his Ph.D. thesis is "Heavy flavour physics at the CERN p=p collider" - is it worth adding?

The link should really be to a review of his book, which seems to contain a lot more than just the theorem. I was hoping to find a review here. Could anyone that read the book write a brief one? DanielDemaret 08:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Is there any source that Simon Singh is a Sikh? Obviously, he has the Sikh surname, but he could have renounced it for agnosticism/atheism. He obviously does not follow the 5 Ks of Sikhism. A source for his Sikhism is required, or else he should be removed from the "British Sikhs" category. Epa101 (talk) 11:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
What is the difference between the existing book (Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial) and the forthcoming book (Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine), and shouldn't the latter be listed in the article too??
(Note: the difference is not the binding — both are/will be available in paperback and hardback.)

libel?[edit]i don't know what is the british law, but this statement: The British Chiropractic Association claims that their members can help treat children with colic, sleeping and feeding problems, frequent ear infections, asthma and prolonged crying, even though there is not a jot of evidence. tells me this guy is full of sh** (referring to the bolded part -- didn't have other problems). I had such a back pain in the past that sometimes i couldn't sleep, and after visiting a chiropractor my problem was solved. 79.101.174.192 (talk) 21:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC) ps. i like his book though. :) 79.101.174.192 (talk) 21:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to this editing thing, but spotted an inaccuracy on this page that I thought should be corrected. Having tried editing the page directly, I'm informed by Brangifer that the correct form is to discuss the matter here first.
The phrase in question says: "Despite an offer made on 13 May 2009 by The Guardian to pay the BCA's legal costs in an out-of-court settlement if Singh chose not to appeal," and references this website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/may/13/simon-singh-british-chiropractic-association
The part of the article I believe the phrase is referring to is at the end, in particular a quote from a statement made by the Guardian which that article reports as saying: "We supported Simon and funded his legal advice when the case was brought against him. The recommended legal advice was to settle out of court and we offered to pay for the British Chiropractic Association's costs should he choose to follow this course of action,"
This actually indicates that the Guardian offered to pay the BCA's legal costs if the matter was settled out of court when the action was first brought, NOT based on whether Simon decided to appeal the preliminary hearing decision. Additionally although the statement seems to have been made on 13 May (the article was published on 14 May, and says that the statement was made the day before), the offer appears to have been made some time before that.
I would suggest deleting that phrase, leaving the paragraph simply saying: "Singh's campaign team announced via its Facebook group on 4 June 2009[citation needed] that Singh had resolved to make an appeal against Justice Eady's ruling. This decision raises substantially the potential financial liability that Singh may face personally if he loses the case." Dryad42 (talk) 09:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Should it be noted Singh's comment on the observable universe being 13.7 billion light-years was probably a misquote of the approximate age of the universe (13.7 billion years), as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_epoch ? Toferdelachris (talk) 11:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
"In 2008, Singh was sued for libel by the British Chiropractic Association for criticising their activities in a column in The Guardian.[1] A backlash to the lawsuit is occurring, with Nature Medicine noting that the case has gathered wide support for Singh from thousands of scientists, journalists and parliamentarians, as well as prompting calls for the reform of libel law.[2]"
This just seems biased to me. No mention of the actual court ruling, only of a supposed "backlash"? Anyone agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duckbeach (talk • contribs) 02:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Do we really need a reference to his brother's business venture in the very first paragraph? Seems a bit like something Singh would toss in to help out his brother, rather than something that's relevant to who Simon Singh is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.226.142 (talk • contribs) 07:00, 12 April 2010

Aloneinthewild, can you expound this edit please? Kind regards Timelezz (talk) 06:59, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
It says that "the Guardian supported him and offered to pay for his legal advice", but then finishes the paragraph saying that it cost him "tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket". If the fees were covered by the Guardian, then the money wasn't "out of pocket". That implies it was his own money being spent. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Has anyone got a postdoc on digital security? There are a stack of papers easily added to references but if I do it, it would be dishonest since it's not my MAIN subject. Linking to the different codes is high priority. 1-time pad, Vernier, RSA, DES, 'the great cypher' and so on are all on Wiki. You can reference chapter by chapter as he does.
The 1-time pad is the only 100% secure system and that's pencil and paper. Using a column in a daily newspaper could serve as random key if letter frequency was dealt with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.56.145 (talk) 08:09, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
