[edit] Source of the term "Evolutionary informatics"
I think it is likely that the Marks/Dembski "Evolutionary Informatics Lab" is likely to be challenged as an unreliable and unauthoritative source for the term. Can we find a less controversial and more prominant (within the mathematical community) source for it? HrafnTalkStalk 14:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I now know of two senses of "evolutionary informatics." The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center funded an Evolutionary Informatics working group and conference series in Fall 2006. The subject matter seems to be processing of information in the study of evolution. The sense presently in the article is study of information in evolutionary systems. Revisions are coming.ThomHImself (talk) 01:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Total rewrite
I think the legitimacy of the topic should be obvious now. I have invited a member of the NESCent EvoInfo Working Group to contribute to the article.ThomHImself (talk) 03:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Citation not required
When two plain-language statements are juxtaposed, the ordinary reader can gauge that one is a specialization of the other. In other words, all it takes to see that Marks' definition is a specialization of Edinburgh's definition is general reading ability, not technical acumen.ThomHImself (talk) 03:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Justification of "Controversy" section
The mention of evolutionary informatics in the film "Expelled" is significant. There needs to be some acknowledgment of that here, along with Wiki links to the pertinent articles. ThomHImself (talk) 06:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
