Highland Irian
I removed a strange sentence, and explained in my edit summary. However I should point out that at the time I was confused by "Irian/Iran/Irain" and did not see that "Irian Highland" is a place. However, the rest of my point in the edit summary stands. The sentence was spurious, not sourced and logically unsound. Jersey John (talk) 03:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)


 * The Eipo are from the highlands of Papau New Guinea, previously called Irian.
 * If you are unsure if the source cited supports the claim, there are several ways to handle it. While pulling the book and checking it yourself might or might not be easy for you, there are other options to ask for verification of the claim.
 * The sentence is a reasonable summary of page 79. I'm restoring it with a few tweaks. "Highland" is not part of the proper noun, so I am not capitalizing it. More to the point, the interpretation of the incident related is part of the author's thesis and should be related as such, not as a bare fact. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 21:22, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Authorship
There is a problem with this entry in that it shows two authors. It was written by Lawrence H. Keeley (I have a copy of the book), but the insert-box shows the author as Lewis Fry Richardson, which is highly unlikely, since he was a Quaker pacifist. 0x0n (talk) 16:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
