118:- Hello, this is a note from Alastair McIntosh. I am adding this here at the suggestion of Knowledge editor Rrburke. I am a Scottish scholar with the Centre for Human Ecology, a visiting professor at Strathclyde University, and I run my own website to which I sometimes post rare 3rd party resources, for example, hard-to-access out-of-copyright academic papers that I have scanned and OCRd. Sometimes these get knocked out by an editor due to apparent conflict of interest since my Knowledge user name is the same as my personal website name. I would be very grateful if editors could be aware of this, and note that I am providing these research materials as a service to fellow scholars, and not to seek publicity. (I am also a sometime donor to Knowledge since I so much appreciate the service you all provide). Alastair McIntosh.

I think that it was yourself who just removed links I'd placed on the pages of James
Fredrick Ferrier, Patrick Geddes, and probably the page for John Stuart Blackie as well.
