[edit] Calakmul
Note: On Calakmul, you seem to have removed a direct external link to a page relevent to that site and replaced it with the front page of the site with the instruction to "click on Calakmul". That gets the same page, but with an unneeded extra step in the process. When possible, direct links to relevent external pages are prefered. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 16:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Mesoamerica
Hi there Chunchucmil- firstly I'd just like to echo my colleague Infrogmation's words of welcome, it's always good to see new contributors. Thanks for your fine work on the eponymous Chunchucmil article; if as it seems Mesoamerican archaeology is your field of expertise, then you may possibly be interested in WikiProject Mesoamerica, a collaborative project formed by some wikipedia editors with the intention of coordinating the expansion and improvements to Mesoamerica-related materials around here. You'd be most welcome to drop by there and help out; there are only about half-a-dozen or so folks who are active at any given time working regularly on Mesoamerica-related articles, and so any and all assistance given is much appreciated.
From your edits and the links and map you have added it occurs to me that you may actually be David Hixson of Tulane U. ? If so, you are doubly welcome. I'd also like to ask, in addition to providing links to the excellent Mesoamerican site images at your mesoamerican archives.com site, if you would consider releasing a small selection of these to included on the relevant wikipedia articles themselves? It can be quite difficult to obtain suitable images of Mesoamerican archaeological sites, particularly those which are 'off the tourist trail', that are obtainable under the types of free licenses that wikipedia requires in order to avoid copyright infringement.
Of course there would be some implications to consider as copyright holder in providing any images to wikipedia under one of the several different "free" license types, see in particular Wikipedia copyrights, Image Use policy, Image license types and copyrights assistance pages for further information.
I'd be happy to attempt to answer any questions you may have, just drop me a note on my talk page here. Alternatively (and you may prefer not to publicly disclose personal info here which is quite understandable) you could email me- just go to my user page and select the "email this user" link (should appear somewhere in the toolbox to the right of screen). I will however not be online very much over the next couple of weeks and so may not be able to respond until the new year, but Infrogmation or a number of other contributors in the project here may well be around if you would like a prompter reply. Best regards, --cjllw | TALK 01:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yukatek->Yucatec
Thanks for your input on Mayan Languages - I've reverted the spelling per your suggestion. It would be great if you had anything to add to the literature section of that page.--Homunq 06:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for helping improve WP:Mesoamerica
It looks like we are finally going to be able to get a real move on the project. There are so many areas of Mesoamericanistics that need attention but now we are working on some of them.
