Internal links
Whitecat: Before you begin removing wikilinks from articles I think you should read my reply on Talk:Human_brain, as well as the Manual of Style (links) you linked to. Notably the following: ''On the other hand, do not make too many links. An article may be considered overlinked if any of the following is true:
 * ''more than 10% of the words are contained in links;
 * ''it has more links than lines;
 * ''a link is repeated in the same article (although there may be case for duplicating an important link that is distant from the previous occurrence);
 * ''more than 10% of the links are to articles that don't exist; or
 * low added-value items are linked without reason, e.g., 1995, 1980s and 20th century.

The links are not abnormal, and I see no reason for you to have removed links to tribe and film on the brain article. Both of those are interesting internal links for people to follow. S e  miconscious  •  talk  06:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia survey
Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 01:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Consciousness?
Do we really need to qualify the statement about the brain being the seat of consciousness? I can't think of any plausible alternatives; e.g. when I stub my toe I do not pass out... =) --PaulWicks 09:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well that depends on how hard you stub it :) But seriously, it's a difficult area to make concrete claims about - we can't really categorically state we know how consciousness arises. Then again, perhaps this is a case of using weasel words... Hmm... on balance I do think we need to distinguish this statement from the clear factual claims elsewhere in the article regarding the biology of the brain etc. But if you strongly object go ahead and remove the qualifier again.

 * After re-reading the sentence a couple of times in context I think you're right, it's hardly a controversial statement - I've reverted the revert. WhiteCat 09:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
