Regarding history of science

As of the Revision as of 22:10, 8 January 2002 there was not much to this article. Over two years later, in 2005, this page became a Collaboration of the Week, and attracted collaborators who had previously worked on other pages. In particular, the History of physics had been previously augmented to specifically cite contributions from multiple countries, and this material was brought here when the collaboration occurred.

As you point out, the particular contributions of Classical Greece were unique. You may wish to contribute some citations and materials to the article. When we were working on the article, there was in fact so much that we had to product child articles which you see noted. You are also welcome to contribute to them.

Now step back; see yourself as someone who is not as fortunate, but rather as one who knows little of what one ought to know about their history or culture. If that one were to open this article, one would glimpse not only what happened, but also what could happen, if one had the chance to work on one's own culture, and build up one's own accomplishments, perhaps to become as notable as that of Classical Greece. For, what happened to them? By sheer luck, their own civilization was not overwhelmed by others, and their own history was not rewritten for them. Please add your contribution to the article. Citations are welcome. --Ancheta Wis 19:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
