Comments
I notice you removed your comments from Talk:Culture. There was no need to do that. The person who was responding wasn't saying that your comments were inappropriate for the talk page, only that the direction of what you wanted to do probably wasn't appropriate for the article. I thought your comments were perfectly relevant for the talk page. Would you mind if I restored them? -- Jmabel | Talk 05:10, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Restore comments?
JMABLE

I am a new user. Thanks for your comments. Yes, my comments can be restored.

It is a process of trial and error to communicate here and to determine if there is a different way to say what is meant or whether different people have different ways of interpreting what is said.

The comments were meant to be a reader's reaction to the article. A reaction by definition is personal, subjective and opinionated. I did not mean for the comments to be taken literaly, as a proposal for article content. They were just meant to be an indirect way of comparing ways of thinking, and for others to make inferences from them.

The boat example was just one sample of how to study one subject using some type of study system. It was not related to the subject of culture necessarily. If this particular system is not adapted to the study of culture, then perhaps others have found systems that work.

Parents of young children might look up culture to find out what to put in a shadow box for a home work assignment on Greek culture, for example. In such a case, a list of ideas would be helpful, such as flag, coins, stamps, map, book, fabric, pottery, etc.

The website guidelines say to talk about the article, not the subject. This doesn't make any sense. In order to edit an article, one must compare the article with the subject.
