Hello, your addition to African Renaissance is good, but it looks like you are trying to push YOUR point of view. If it is not percieved as a neutral point of view, your edits will quickly be reversed by other users. - Ezeu 23:57, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm glad you find the addition interesting. I'm not trying to foist a view that I share alone (hence the citation - I can certainly find others). I am trying to encourage that this be viewed as moderating the hype associated with the term.

Evolution

Sorry for the revert. It looked like you had removed refs #24 & #25. I missed seeing that you added them back in the later para. We get a lot of vandalism and blanking there, so I just kind of jumped to a conclusion. D'oh...sorry about that! Doc Tropics 01:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry. I'm one of the 'good guys' - I am a grad student in Molecular Evolution!

Hurrah for the good guys! And three cheers for higher education : ) Doc Tropics 01:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

statistical independence

You wrote:

In contrast, if a card is drawn without replacement from a deck of cards, the probability of drawing another card is dependent on the first event.

That is a lousy example. Probabilities are not the things that are dependent or independent. Events or random variables are dependent or independent; probabilities are not. And the event of drawing a second card is not a well-defined event. You could posit that TWO cards are drawn without replacing the first before drawing the second. Then the event that the first card is red and the event that the second card is red would be dependent events. But your proposed experiment is the drawing of ONE card. What does "without replacement" mean when only one card is drawn, unless another is to be drawn afterwards? Michael Hardy 21:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. This was both sloppily phrased and misleading. The changes to this section do make things a lot clearer. --The User 10:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Call for Wikipedians in Residence in Africa

Hello,

I hope you are well and thriving!! WikiAfrica has just put out a call for two Wikipedians in Residence. One in Cape Town at WikiAfrica, at the Africa Centre; and the other for WikiAfrica Cameroon in Douala, at doual’art. If you are interested, please contact either Marilyn [marilyn.doualabelldoualart.org] for the WikiAfrica Cameroon call or Isla [islahfafricacentre.net] for the WikiAfrica position in Cape Town.

If you are not interested in applying, I would be very grateful if you could spread this call far and wide among your networks to ensure that both projects get excellent candidates. Here is the link for the information page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/two-wikipedians-in-residence-for-africa/

Best regards, Islahaddow
