{{helpme}} Thanks, Tim. I'll answer you on my talk page so I can see how it works. You have probably guessed Last Common Ancestor is my first Wikipedia page. I would surely like some feedback and fixes from you on it. Tom Schmal 14:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help folks. The now expanded section on LUA looks like a carryover from a controversy going on somewhere else. I think a short statement and a link would be more appropriate than the text that is there now. Could you revise, please?

Is the article you are concerned about Last Common Ancestor? What is the problem? Tim Vickers 02:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is about the last common ancestor. In many, maybe most suudies on species' history there are references to LCA so I defined it for the wikipedia. There is one guy who attacked it last week and chopped it up. I would like the article reinstated but I don't have the knowledge to do it. I am writing you because you are a scientist and when I published Last Common Ancestor you were the first to visit my talk page.

I've removed the helpme template because those are for questions about using Wikipedia. Also, I've reviewed the article, and it seems that the edits you are talking about were legitimate. He removed some unsourced information, and removed some statements that violated WP:NPOV. Anyhow, these types of comments should be made on the articles talk page, not here. - Rjd0060 19:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

See. this is what I mean. Who are you Rjd0060, really?Tom Schmal 03:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've asked for an expert opinion at the MCB wikiproject. Tim Vickers (talk) 04:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The image I'm a mammal!.jpg is funny, but it is only in the talk page, as it is not very "wiki", however there is wikiworld [1] which makes cartoons to artciles. It may be something to consider to make it wiki legal for a similar article. you can also ask at graphic labs in the wikipedia namespace.
