My nickname is a Cyrillic projection of a Greek: Βικιδημος portmanteau, something along the lines of Greek: Νικόδημος ("victorious people", cf. Nicodemus). It is intended to mean "[of] wikipeople". If you have hard time finding Cyrillics on your keyboard, feel free to address me as Wikidemus.

In July 2022 you added the citation White, Colin (December 1964). "Unkind Cuts at Statisticians". The American Statistician. 18 (5): 15–17 to Lies, damned lies, and statistics. In October 2022 you added the quote on the first page of Wright's article as well as an English translation to François Magendie; the JSTOR link added in January 2023 leads to Unkind Cuts at Statisticians.

Wright gives his source as Delaunay, P., "Les doctrines médicales au début du XIXe siècle. Louis et la méthode numérique" in Underwood, E. A., (Editor), Science, History and Medicine, Vol. 2, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1953, though https://archive.org/details/sciencemedicineh0002unde/page/n9/mode/2up shows the volume's title begins "Science, Medicine and History". The quote is on page 326 just above IV. Looking at that page and the others it appears that they are Delaunay's words rather than those of Magendie. Mcljlm (talk) 05:57, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
