[edit] Oligochaetes are not Platyhelminthes

They are Annelida. Platyhelminthes are flatworms. -- WormRunner | Talk 20:16, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oops! Cut & paste error. Thanks! Scentoni 22:54, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No problem. The information on the ice worms, especially Hesiocaeca methanicola, is very fascinating. I had known about Mesenchytraeus, but this is the first I had heard of the "Methane Ice" worm. -- WormRunner | Talk 01:18, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Turing

I removed link to Alan Turing that you contributed to the "See also" section of Morphogenesis. --romanm (talk) 17:32, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, the '"See also" section wasn't really the right place for it. I inserted a short paragraph at the beginning about pre-DNA work on morphogenesis done by D'Arcy Wentworth Thomson and Alan Turing. It would be good if someone more familiar with the work done in that era could expand on it. Scentoni 21:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hydraulic analogy

I have started this article independently.  :-) See User:Omegatron/water analogy - Omegatron 21:48, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SoIaF pronunciations

Scentoni, thanks for giving the pronunciation section for A Song of Ice and Fire some attention. I have to say that I don't agree with most of your changes, but would be happy to discuss them. Do you have any references for them? Note that the most important thing for Wikipedia is WP:V, so we need to agree on a common frame of reference. Arbor 10:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Arbor, I was just in the process of writing a little note to put in the discussion page. Could you be more specific on what you disagree with? I think most of the changes I made were putting in the r's in names like Cersei...it looked like the transcription into IPA had been done for Australian English or some other pronunciation that has r-dropping, and GRRM does pronounce the r in words like Cersei. I'm not a professional linguist, so I certainly could have made some errors in using the right IPA codes for the sounds. Scentoni 10:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
