I think the most important one is that I suspect that the latest methods of analysis might not be sensitive to the methods used by Tifft, Arp and the USA-Australian project shown in the above graph. I would like someone who understands the methods used to discuss that with me if possible.

First, which methods do you think are insensitive (per my bold, in your post)? Specifically, which of the papers reporting quasar redshift analyses have you based your suspicions on?
Second, if you want to understand the methods used in a particular, published quasar redshift paper, I think BAUT's Q&A section would be a more appropriate place to start ... just as long as you don't phrase questions aimed at better understanding in a way that leaves readers with the strong impression that you're merely promoting an ATM idea.
Third, if you don't have access to, or don't even know of, the relevant published papers, then again the Q&A section is a much better place than this ATM section.
