[edit] Re: History of Earth

Arkuat, I appreciate the praise. I have really enjoyed working on the article, although it’s certainly been a challenge. Interestingly, it was History of the world that helped stimulate me to write this article (see Talk:History of the world#Page title). I’ve always enjoyed “big picture”–type matters, which is why I like History of the world so much. To me, though covering human history wasn’t enough—I wanted something to tie the planet’s whole history together, to give a sense of the time scale involved, and to show how physics, astronomy, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and history all work together (and to a lesser extent, a bit of geology, anthropology, and so on). We’ve amassed so much knowledge and become so specialized that I think it has become quite easy to be unable to grasp the whole picture. Anyway I’m so glad you liked it. If you have anything to add or can improve its accuracy, please feel free to pitch in. — Knowledge Seeker দ 09:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] history of biology project

My pleasure. Supposedly, I'm a historian of biology in training. I just haven't done much editing in that area, probably because other topics have been the focus of discussion on WP lately. I'm glad there will be someone else trying to organize history of science stuff. If you make a project banner for talk pages (to replace {{HistSci}}, where relevant), one of these might be a good image for it:

• Image:HookeFlea01.jpg (especially if made into a transparent .gif)
• Image:Drosm3.gif (already transparent)
• Image:Darwin as monkey on La Petite Lune.jpg
• Image:Vesalius Fabrica p190.jpg
• Image:Haeckel Discomedusae 8.jpg (again, tranparency would be appropriate)

Happy editing--ragesoss 04:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

What kind of articles should we create? I'm eager to help the project. I've made a biology portal and project on hungarian wiki. I'm the organizer of this topic on that wiki. Tell me what are your plans, and we can get into work... :) NCurse 10:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
