Nataruk ‎and references
Dear Dr. Lahr,

Firstly, thanks so much for your contributions to the article at Nataruk. I'm no archaeologist, but I started the article because it seemed like an important discovery. I probably made some mistakes because I just wanted to get something created that other people could improve on - I had no idea that you would be making such contributions! Wikipedia has rules against people editing their own biographies, but I don't think that would apply in this case. You are contributing about a research site for which you are undoubtedly expertly qualified to edit. That said, I appreciate your identifying yourself when editing it anyway.

Nonetheless, I notice that currently, two sections of the article (which I believe you contributed), "Turkana in the late Pleistocene–early Holocene" and "The discoveries at Nataruk," are currently without any footnoted references. Now, I would personally consider you yourself a very credible source on the topic, but wikipedia needs to have verifiable published sources. Assuming the information in those sections has been published somewhere, would you mind adding citations? I would hate to see such valuable content removed by someone in the future.

Thanks again for your help (and congratulations on the discovery!). Best, Themightyquill (talk) 20:13, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
