Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthropology

Noted you'd recently joined this project!

You may or may not have read the recent discussion here regarding the probably poor representation of anthropology on Wikipedia, plus an associated proposed effort to see if this situation might be somewhat repaired through monthly collaborations?

Having newly joined the project please feel free to boldly participate in upgrading 'core' anthropology articles, including, possibly, making any additions/providing any assistance you may be willing/able to provide to this month's collaboration:Kinship.

Database

Hi. I noticed your recent edit "History: market isn't the only consideration". I agree with you. The whole of that section does see market as a success criterion though. Higher up the article it says "The first successful database product for microcomputers was dBASE". I assume success refers to market, not theoretical purity. Maybe it's worth starting a discussion on Talk:Database about what success means. Or maybe not. (Northernhenge (talk) 08:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC))

man vs humankind

Hi, thanks for your attempted compromise. I don't see a compromise with the anonymous editor as particularly necessary, however, as this person doesn't seem to edit in good faith generally and has been going around vandalizing various articles. Unless you really feel the word "man" is necessary there, can we just change it to "humanity", "humankind" or some other word that doesn't sound like it came from a 1950s textbook? Thanks. --Newsroom hierarchies (talk) 02:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

dimensions

I've just seen (two years late) your query at Talk:N-dimensional space about the phrase "the n-dimensionality of literary works". It may be only an overly fancy way of saying 'complexity' but ...

Any complex phenomenon can be measured in multiple ways, and plotted on a scatter graph in which each of the graph's dimensions represents one measurement. For example, you could make a chart of cities where the dimensions are population, wealth, number of days of frost in a year, immigration and emigration ratios, and whatnot. Of course you'd need to project the graph into two or three dimensions to get a meaningful look at it, but since we're talking about a metaphor that shouldn't matter!

Typically one uses a scatter graph to estimate how many independent variables the phenomenon has; see Degrees of freedom (statistics):

Mathematically, degrees of freedom is the dimension of the domain of a random vector, or essentially the number of 'free' components: how many components need to be known before the vector is fully determined.

Thus, to say that a phenomenon – such as literature – has high dimension is to say that you can't fully describe it with any small number of measurements.

I hope this isn't either opaque or patronizing. —Tamfang (talk) 01:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 25

Hi. When you recently edited Brewster Kahle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WAIS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Requesting opinion

Hi, in my opinion an editor has hijacked the gift economy article and among other things deleted valuable content that you entered. He has done this without discussion and explanation. I currently am in a content dispute with him, so I'd like to ask if could come an revert that edit for me? See here: [1] Tpylkkö (talk) 09:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Wisconsin Society for Ornithology moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Wisconsin Society for Ornithology, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
