26 September 2018
- 10:3010:30, 26 September 2018 diff hist −411 V. S. Ramachandran NeuroEl - your claim that much of Ramachandran's work is controversial and that he is best known for grand speculations is false, harmful and potentially libellous with possible legal implications. Your editing history (emphasis on portraying the Ramachandran as highly controversial and repeatedly deleting well-sourced references of praise) suggests a conflict of interest, which makes you unfit as a WIKI editor. Someone from the WIKI editorial team ought to step in and assess the situation. Tag: Visual edit
3 September 2018
- 20:4720:47, 3 September 2018 diff hist +684 V. S. Ramachandran Again your recent edit does not make sense! NeuroEL you have basically deleted the reference that Ramachandran was listed among the "Century Club" one of the most prominent people to watch in the next century; and that he was listed as number 50 in the [[Top 100 Public Intellectuals Poll. If such information is not to be mentioned on a WIKI page then where is it supposed to be mentioned? Why do you keep deleting such important detail from his page?! You are supposed to be neutral!! Tag: Undo
- 15:1715:17, 3 September 2018 diff hist +573 V. S. Ramachandran Please stop deleting the TIME 100 Magazine reference from Dr Ramachran's WIKI profile! It makes no sense, you have done so several times now, including in the past. How can this be out of date? It is perhaps the most notable aspect of his biography. If you feel that mentioning this is irrelevant please go and also delete this TIME MAGAZINE reference from Steven Pinker and Arrianna Huffington's page, why only this page? Please be objective and neutral in your edits across all subjects on WIKI. Tag: Undo
- 14:0614:06, 3 September 2018 diff hist +573 V. S. Ramachandran NeurEl - I have undone your revision. Please do not remove the TIME magazine 100 most influential people in world listing. It makes absolutely no sense. Why would you remove such an important aspect of his biography? You have done so in the past well. I re-iterate that it is appropriate to highlight such distinctions early on in the bio. This follows the biographical styles of other prominent figures on WIKI! Tag: Undo
- 05:4205:42, 3 September 2018 diff hist 0 V. S. Ramachandran I re-iterate that it is appropriate to highlight such distinctions (especially when selected by Dr Tom Insel director of NIMH for TIME MAGAZINE) early on in the bio. This simply follows the biographical styles of other prominent figures and scientists on WIKI, such as Chomsky, Pinker and Huffington. See their WIKI for detail. It makes no sense to apply a different rule to Ramachandran's page. Tag: Visual edit

This simply follows the biographical styles of other prominent figures and scientists on WIKI, such as Chomsky, Pinker and Huffington. See their WIKI for detail. It makes no sense to apply a different rule to Ramachandran's page. It is appropriate to highlight such distinctions (especially when selected by Dr Tom Insel director of NIMH for TIME MAGAZINE) early on in the bio. Tag: Visual edit

- 21:5621:56, 30 August 2018 diff hist 0 V. S. Ramachandran It is important that this page does not read like an advert. However, consistent with the WiKi pages of Steven Pinker, Chomsky and Arriana Huffington, it is perfectly reasonable to present newspaper listings (e.g., TIME magazine) at the beginning of the page as they are highly representative of the subject in question.

11 February 2018
- 18:4318:43, 11 February 2018 diff hist −7 V. S. Ramachandran The page has been cleaned up and now presents itself from a point view of neutrality. The page should be monitored regularly such that it doesn't sound like an advert. It is perhaps still too technical at places and could be cleaned up a bit more. Tag: COI template removed
- 18:3918:39, 11 February 2018 diff hist −10 V. S. Ramachandran The page no longer reads as an advert. The praise from other scientist previously quoted on the page have now been deleted. Tags: COI template removed Visual edit: Switched

- 15:5415:54, 6 December 2017 diff hist +141 V. S. Ramachandran Returning the intro back to an earlier version. The reference to the Time's 100 list, the Newsweek reference, and quotes are important part of his bio and should be mentioned early on consistent with other WIKI BIOs (e.g.Brian Chesky, Arianna Huffington).

Ramachandran →Testimony at the Lisa Montgomery trial: The fact that the federal prosecutor described Ramachandran's theory as "voodoo science" is completely irrelevant - Roseann Ketchmark does not have any scientific credentials to my knowledge. Tag: Visual edit

- 11:5111:51, 31 October 2017 diff hist −1 V. S. Ramachandran Rearranged paragraph. A single sentence should be attached to the previous paragraph. Tag: Visual edit
- 11:4911:49, 31 October 2017 diff hist −400 V. S. Ramachandran →"Broken Mirrors" theory of autism: Neuroel it is not relevant to describe all the counter evidence to Ramachandran's theories. That can be done on a different page on that specific content. This page is meant to give a brief overview of his work. Tag: Visual edit
30 October 2017
- 20:2720:27, 30 October 2017 diff hist −765 V. S. Ramachandran The quote by Simo-Baron Cohen is not relevant here. It is already mentioned on the Tell Tale Brain's wikipedia page. There's a systematic attempt at misrepresenting Ramachandran's work as controversial. This is simply not the case. Tag: Visual edit
2 September 2017
- 19:3519:35, 2 September 2017 diff hist +160 V. S. Ramachandran Neurel please kindly do not keep removing the Newsweek reference. It is a significant media reference. You also extrapolate/infer why he was called Marco Polo or Paul Broca; and why he has received media attention. Kindly please stick to factual material. Tag: Visual edit
26 August 2017
- 20:5120:51, 26 August 2017 diff hist −740 V. S. Ramachandran Neuroel although the quote and subsequent rebuttal is accurate. The quote specifically relates to a pop-psychology book and is not relevant to Ramachandran's scientific career. I have deleted this section as I can't find a suitable place to put it. Tag: Visual edit
25 August 2017
- 21:2321:23, 25 August 2017 diff hist +1 V. S. Ramachandran Thank you for the suggestion. But these quotes are important in highlighting VS Ramachandran's public persona - so should be mentioned early on. This is wiki's standards. Please see the WIKI page of other public figures. Tag: Visual edit
- 10:5710:57, 25 August 2017 diff hist +646 V. S. Ramachandran Neuroel kindly refrain from removing (undoing) Ramachandran's "Time 100 list" reference as well as the "Newsweek" reference. Consistent with other wiki BIOs, such lists are important and should be mentioned in their bios per WIKI's standards Tag: Visual edit
24 August 2017
- 18:3718:37, 24 August 2017 diff hist +659 V. S. Ramachandran This is the second time Ramachandran's appearance on TIME Magazine's 100 list is curiously removed. These noteworthy lists are crucial aspects of Ramachandran's public profile - and should appear in the bio - just like other public figures' bios on Wiki. Tag: Visual edit

- 18:4018:40, 8 August 2017 diff hist −687 V. S. Ramachandran →Broken Mirrors theory of autism: The quote has been removed where Ramachandran purportedly claims that his group has discovered the cause of autism. This is a serious claim; and shouldn't be included per Wiki's rules without a proper reference. Tag: Visual edit
7 July 2017
- 15:2315:23, 7 July 2017 diff hist +75 V. S. Ramachandran I think it is quite relevant to note what Newsweek's "Century Club" entails; i.e., the “hundred most prominent people to watch in the next century". Many have no idea what the "Century Club" is on it own, so the full details are obviously crucial. Tag: Visual edit
28 June 2017
- 14:0314:03, 28 June 2017 diff hist +634 V. S. Ramachandran The reference to Ramachandran being on Time's 100 list was surprisingly removed as well as the Newsweek reference.

Although few neuroscientists have criticized Ramachandran's theories, that doesn't reflect his overall public image. The criticism from Jarrett has been moved to the section on mirror neurons.
