Shortcut: Mediawiki user's guide to editing

Projects on the To-Do-List:

—Finish culture section Nevis
—Kingdom of Benin: expand art + make list of Obas, add sources, check links and colonial titles and people
—Create Bath hotel article
—Matriarchy article: spelling, non-relevant/out-dated sources, two links to the same German research organization. Examples mentioned in the article to illustrate matriarchy (in literature): "The Nazi ideology of a master race of Aryan patriarchal conquerors was based in part on Müller's hypothesis about conquering Aryans being the founders of the European 'race'", "Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan (fantasy)", "Star Wars".

—I just noticed: There's no article on the fascinating subject of late 19th century applications of telegony, as presented by for example August Weismann and picked up and embraced by Strindberg to promote the idea heredity could be influenced through psychic means and that women were basically just "containers" (see research by Menon). Re. Aristotle, telegony & female inferiority--see B. Russell's hilarious and scathing critique, naturally. :) And for the defense of Aristotle, for example Mayhew, Robert. The Female in Aristotle's Biology. Reason or Rationalization. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2004.
—Fix "Scania" on Wiki SE: needs to give the option "Skåne" as well as "Scania AB", links straight to Scania AB right now
