Hedgpethia

Hi!

Sorry I'm a bit late answering your email, I was away during the holidays. I linked to the article Joel Hedgpeth from Hedgpeth and Hedgpethia. In the latter, I just added a sentence explaining where the name comes from, but I didn't mention "Hedgpethia", the body of work of Joel Hedgpeth. The article links to his article though, so anyone who wants information about him can find it easily. If you think this is not enough and there should be something about his body of work, I encourage you to add the following disambiguation template at the top of the page : {{Otheruses4|the genus of sea spiders|the body of work of marine biologist Joel Hedgpeth|Joel Hedgpeth}}, or something like that, which gives:

This page is about the genus of sea spiders. For the body of work of marine biologist Joel Hedgpeth, see Joel Hedgpeth.

For other similar templates, see {{Otheruses templates}}. If you need any help in the future, do not hesitate to post on my talk page, or email me. And remember to be bold! Happy new year! IronChris | (talk) 05:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
