Footnoting the upcoming paper - wp does not normally allow for 'crystal ball gazing' but in this case I think its worth mentioningBridesmill 05:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No original research

I'm concerned that this article might be one big violation of Wikipedia:No original research. It looks like almost the entire article is based off of work by Bartholomew Dean, who happens to share the same exact name as Bdean1963, who, in turn, is the main editor of this article. I have no reason to believe that any of the information is incorrect, but the rules are clear: No original research --Descendall 07:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Now that I look at it, some of it looks like outright advertising: "See Bartholomew Dean's forthcoming, Ambivalent Exchanges: Urarina Society, Cosmos and History in Peruvian Amazonia. University Press of Florida, 2007, which represents the first book-length ethnographic account of Urarina society,culture history and shamanic resistance." Come on now. --Descendall 07:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I took it out. Wikipedia can't be the first place you publish your work. --Descendall 01:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
