Don't just delete all of the changes we've made (under taussigportal then). They are a bit rough, but a lot better than the nothing that was here. If anything, edit them, make suggestions, etc. We're actually from a group of students that just did an independent study on him, and this was part of our final project.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Miceinthelemonfields (talk • contribs) .
- Hello there: It seems I reverted the last attempt to add material to the page because apparently I thought it was copied and pasted from elsewhere, but I didn't really use a good edit summary, which was my mistake--sorry!
- Here's the advice part: 1) A passage on mimesis would be a great addition to this article. However, it should be written specifically for this article, in your own words 2) the book reviews should be written in a way that is far more factual. For instance, this:
- While the book might be slightly challenging to read, given the sophistication and obscurity of Taussig’s language, it is a piece full of valuable anthropological accounts and strong philosophical thinking that gives us comprehensive X-ray of our society. It is work committed to humanity.
- violates Wikipedia's policies on content (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:No original research). When writing for Wikipedia, you shouldn't be telling the reader what you thought about the subject, but rather what everyone else had to say about it.--Birdmessenger 10:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
