"Connected contributor" disclosure[edit]

User:Pigsonthewing has created this page based on publicly available information on the IRMNG project. With the "Connected contributor" information disclosed above, if others have no objection, I may take the opportunity to correct any factual errors or add additional information of a non-controversial nature where I feel it will improve the article further. If others wish to contest or discuss anything further I will of course be happy to do so. Regards - Tony Tony 1212 (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Data" - singular or plural...[edit]

I'm never sure which sounds better, to treat the word "data" as singular or plural (see discussion at Data (word))... my tendency to date (coming up through science rather than popular media) has been to attempt to standardize on the plural (e.g. "IRMNG data are presently ...") except when it sounds a bit odd, in which case I try to look for an alternative such as "information" or "content". Presently in the bits I contribute, I use the plural form but if someone wants to standardize on using the singular, that is not a huge problem.
