Sailing faster than the wind
Thank you for your constructive comments. The Bethwaite book is readily available and it does explicitly document that downwind VMG greater than wind speed is routinely achieved, even by sail boats. Bethwaite also explains the technological developments that enabled this to be possible for sail boats. As you know, for copyright reasons, I cannot simply reproduce in the article the charts from Bethwaite's book.--Gautier lebon (talk) 09:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry...
Sorry to bail, but things have come up and I'm absolutely buried in my academic responsibilities. Feel free to edit the muscle articles as you see fit, and if you can just do a few changes at a time, I should be able to review them as they happen. Sorry about this.

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 09:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:
 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
 * We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
 * Lastly, why not try and strive to create a good article! Anatomical articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! --LT910001 (talk) 10:49, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Personal Welcome
Hi, ! I'm LT910001, who is one of the editors which work on Anatomy articles. We do this here: WP:ANATOMY.

We've just started revitalising the project and, like you, one reason we did this was because of the very poor coverage of Anatomy articles on Wikipedia. Like you state, basic information, including about development, variations, function, clinical significance, and history is often missing, which is very frustrating. We recently changed the guidelines, and are trying to get the articles on all anatomical structures to follow them. Those guidelines are here: WP:MEDMOS.

I recommend you read this, our recent newsletter. That contains a list of places where you can find subsets of articles, including about muscles. I'd be delighted to continue our conversation in the future, and even work with you to improve articles. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or leave a post on the talk page of WP:ANATOMY. --LT910001 (talk) 10:56, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
