Extramural medical education in Edinburgh

Hi @Iainmacintyre: Great article. I was planning to write it myself and now I'm so glad its done. scope_creep^Talk 13:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Scope creep appreciate that. That major reworking you did on the Joseph Lister article was great. I have looked ,ore than once about doing such an overhaul but thought it would involve too much work So I really appreciate the effort you have put in to make such a vast improvement. Papamac (talk) 14:53, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I enjoy working on it but it is a lot of work. These big articles seem to be of that type. I reckon it will be another two years before its finished. scope_creep^Talk 16:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
