Wikipedia articles that Paul is considering expanding:

Possible articles

 * Canon of Medicine


 * This is my number one pick. I didn't initially intend on editing the Canon of Medicine because there was already some information in the article.  However, as part of my first assignment to simply add a sentence or two with references, I began looking at possibly contributing to the Canon of Medicine article.  I soon discovered that the information within was extremely wrong or out of order or incomplete.  I think I would like to flesh out this article with more detail.


 * Mysterium Cosmographicum


 * This is my number two pick. It is an important book by Kepler, yet it has only a few paragraphs in the Wikipedia article and has only a couple of references.  Much of the article has to do with a commemorative coin.  It seems likely I could find a translation of the work, along with some other papers and books about the work and flesh out this article.


 * Harmonices Mundi'''


 * Banu Musa


 * De nive sexangula


 * As far as I know, a page does not yet exist for this document. However, I think an early copy exists in the OU History of Science collection.


 * Data (Euclid)


 * This document's page is extremely thin.


 * Ibn al-Shatir


 * Considering that this is the guy that originally conceived of a heliocentric system, this article doesn't seem to do him justice.


 * I like where your head's at with all of these. Your suggestions seem solid, and I think any of these would be a good choice for the project.  You should be able to find a good bit of secondary information on any of these works.  Finding English translations might be the key selection criteria.  I'll leave the final choice to you.Kirwanfan (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
