As the original author is not responding to discussion and not interested into making this article neutra, I will make an attempt after having reviewed the few sources that exist on this topic. Roeschter (talk) 17:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The "scientific" explanation on this page is utterly incomprehensible. E.g. I have never heard the term "oxidizable carbon" before. Even the explanations on the reference pages given are poor. The reference pages themselves reference a dysfunctional commercial page.
All in all this looks like somebodies hobby project or his thesis, which failed to find widespread acceptance. Now he is trying to revive attention through posting in Wikipedia. This page should either be rewritten to indicate that his is scientific speculation or should be deleted altogether. (Roeschter 13:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC))

OCR Carbon Dating
editI just happend to discover this entry and the discussion. While I did not write this entry, I am the author of the OCR Carbon Dating procedure. It would appear that the orginal posting and the ensuing discussion are not based on a thorough study or reading of the numerous papers writen by my self or others. I can assure you that this is not a hobby, and that the work has been corroborated by other independent studies. I would be happy to discuss the topic and answer any questions you might have on the procedure and its scientific merits.
