I extensively rewrote the Dec 2005 version of this article and had been monitoring it for bad edits, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.

Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, although I hope for the best.

Good luck in your search for information, regardless!---CH 01:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

E. Witten, his son mentioned on twitter @EdwardWitten4: "Fact #1 My mother was Lorraine Witten and my father was Louis Witten" - so presumably L. Witten might be dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:9722:84FD:60C9:FF41:A00E:119 (talk) 09:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Remarkably, L. Witten published a paper in 2025. I certainly hope and expect to know when he dies. JMYelton (talk) 23:38, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
