Ancachs seems to be about this same region, but the info is mostly from the 1911 encyclopedia. - AKeen 19:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedits

This article was tagged for "needing copyediting", and so I did just that. However this reverted many of my copy-edits. I have reverted these changes, but unfortunately, many others. I ask we work constructively and incrementally to solve these problems. --Otheus 11:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Progress

1. Evelyn, very good work! I see you are learning quickly!
2. You reinserted the "Chavin" idea in "Geography", but it really belongs in "History" -- a section I created from prior versions. I hope my edit fully incorporates what I removed from "geography".
3. There is no need (and it's probably bad) to make "wikilinks" [[like this]] to things that (1) have already been linked to, and (2) are not really related to the topic. For instance, I don't think it's really constructive to have links to "rivers" and "sea"; but it's probably fine to have it to "lagoons" and "glaciers" -- but not every time! :)

Thanks. I always thought wikilinks were necessary, but now that I got your advice, I'll keep that on mind. --Evelyn Zuñiga 22:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

For more details, see WP:CONTEXT. Someone was kind enough to point that out to me, not too long ago. --Otheus 22:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Notice

My proofreading was going well until I got to the Geography section. I found the reference to "trough" a bit unclear. When I Googled for more information, I accidentally came upon the same geography material, word-for-word, but at someone else's site, http://www.movicorpsa.com/ancash.php. The site included a copyright protection notice. I'm new to Wikipedia editing but not new to editing in general. The direct copying of material from other sites looks like a big problem to me and one that could only be fixed by more research, attribution, and a complete re-write of the section. Sorry to say this. I hope I am wrong. Finetooth 20:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Finetooth, Maybe I can help you a little bit. I am the one who has made some modifications in this article or/and add some information. I checked the page you wrote and I think it's rather new. I'm just saying that they could probably take some information from here to put it into their web page. I don't know much about it but can you please check how long that page has been on the web because as long as the information I wrote in here, there's nothing copied at all. Thanks. --Evelyn Zuñiga 15:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Evelyn, Please accept my humble apologies. The movicorpsa site lists 2008 as the copyright date, and I see now that someone has likely copied the Wikipedia material to the movicorpsa site rather than the other way round. I will be more careful about this particular possibility in the future. I have removed the possible copyright violation notice from the article, and I hope to complete my proofreading later today. The page reads well and is most interesting. The movicorpsa people probably used your material because it is so good. Best wishes. Finetooth 19:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
