thanks
Thanks Joe, by the way, two more students have put up articles Leopards as taphonomic agents and Bone tools - I would be grateful if you would weigh in and give encouragment, critique etc.

Question
I'm just curious, is your last name derived from "rapido" or is it just Quick? Call it a long-standing curiousity... --Robert W King 21:57, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
Kennewick
Hi Joe,
Just going through Kennewick - couple of things. I would personally not concentrate on the controversy, but on the anthropology. What I mean by this is that I would introduce the fossil (sub-fossil) first e.g. what it comprises, skeletal part representation, geological situation of the find, taphonomy etc. in a dispassionate voice. I would then go on to its significance and then its discovery. Only at that point would I delve into the debate around "is it or isn't it" and "what to do with it". Although I have a clear bias to one side, these debates are incidental to the fossils importance as one of, if not "the", oldest human remains from North America. At this stage, when I read this article, I get the feeling that the author has a non-reburial standpoint - not sure why but thats what I "sense" - and we do want to remove any aspect of non-nuetrality. I would add photos or even a scanned newspaper article to give the article some spice. If you have some of the data on the first bit and can add it, I'd be happy to weigh in.

workgroup assignment _ Yoga
Joe - Thanks for your input on this. My greater concern was actually changing the Category to which Yoga was assigned. Does changing the Template then change the category page, or is that a separate operation? I'm writing from my Blackberry, so I can't sign this properly. Michael J. Formica
- And, now, thanks for the tech lesson. Truly appreciated. Ihave to say that I'm getting a bit frustrated with the lack of participation in the topics that I'm working on, but I shall sally forth. Psych, in particular, is a horror show! --Michael J. Formica 08:08, 11 November 2007 (CST)
Biography Workgroup
I was just going to suggest it, and see that you already had. How do we add a workgroup? It seems like the suggestions are there, but there's no follow through. Blessings... --Michael J. Formica 09:29, 11 November 2007 (CST)
checklist
You're like a dynamo. :) Chris Day (talk) 02:01, 21 November 2007 (CST)
- It's really just a matter of working out a system and having watched enough articles develop to know when I need to take a look at the edit history or swing by the wikipedia article to make a quick comparison. I also have a couple of handy tricks I've worked out. :) Gotta be done for the night though - I have class in 7 hours. --Joe Quick 02:11, 21 November 2007 (CST)
