New User - learning - observing edit

If they really thought about it, honest people would admit that much of history, archaeology and many similar fields are only an interpretation based on the most recalcitrant remaining cultural ephemera and detritus... and can not be considered complete, with out bias or totally objective.

Comments on ICH edit

See my talk page for thoughts

I chose Ribosome as my user name as I think my intial anon stumblings re the ICH debate led to the term "meat puppet" being thrown about... probably directed at me... so I figured I would choose a useful protein as my monicer for future use.

Making Technical Articles Accessible edit

Sedimentation

Derivative → Function_(mathematics) → before a reader gets to deriviative they really need to understand function. Could this be facilitated by use of ballon text with the meanings of math notation in plain english? Also really need to hammer the connection between symbols and graphs - need to use the word "map"?

ON the function page the quote "A function need not involve numbers. An example of a function that does not use numbers is the function that assigns to each nation its current capital. In this case Capital(France) = Paris." is a good non math example - maybe move this up and similar soft intro material introduced before the low white space symbology?
