Hirnantian article
You have done absolutely fantastic work with the Hirnantian stage article. I hope you are still interested in continuing to other geological time periods. Thank you!--Jyril 21:06, July 9, 2005 (UTC)

Next articles
Do as you like, I don't know if there are any articles that should to be created first. Maybe those stages when great changes occurred are the most interesting (like the Maastrichtian)? --Jyril 17:10, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Hallo!

Why don’t you join the Category:Wikipedians interested in history of medicine and help to enrich the Category:Historical medical landmarks by country?

Many thanks!

Category:Historical medical landmarks
Thanks for your invitation. I'm interested in helping you, but I have two issues. The first is that I'm not sure your category is correctly named. In English, a monument is something like a plaque, statue, or something similar. For example, the plaque in front of No. 40 Broad Street, London, is a monument to the Broad Street Cholera epidemic. The items you have in your category list seem to me to be more items and locations of historical medical importance. For example, the Edwin Smith Papyrus is an item stored at a location in New York. It's not a monument.

This is not to say that I dislike what you are doing. On the contrary, I think a category covering items and locations of historic importance by country (and state/provence/etc.) is very important. It will alert people to resources and historic information in their localities, and provide a resource for students conducting research on the medical history of their areas. So, I think you should look into renaming the category.


 * A discussion about renaming or deleting (!) the Category: Historical medical landmarks by country(with all its subcategories) is going on. Please share your thoughts on the matter at Categories for discussion/Log/2007 October 24. I agree with the fact that the actual name of the Category is an ambiguous one. But what else name could be better? "Medical landmarks by country"? "Historical medical monuments and memories by country"?... As you can see in the current discussion, there are some different opinions on the subjects.

The second issue is more practical. I can't figure out how to add my name to the list. Your members list doesn't seem to be like a number of other projects I've joined. Can you write some instructions for me on my talk page?


 * You just have to edit your UserPage (NOT the User Talk page!) and add Category:Wikipedians interested in history of medicine at the bottom of it. Many thanks for your appreciation. I will be very happy if some scholar or student will find useful this work!
