Warning

I found a section of the Entomology and the law that I am going to reword and link to your page. Check out the very bottom section which talks about DNA analysis as it pertains to their topic.Quatrevingtsix (talk) 02:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be great if we (Group 20 Forensic entomology and society) could link to your page. We have a section for famous cases so if you know of any that used DNA and forensic ento let me know and I will add it to our page and link to you. I'll see if I can find one too. Also, PCR was an earth shattering technique that revolutionized sequencing and could stand to be expanded slightly, maybe by explaining its significance to the case. Other than that I think this is a good article with lots of potential as it gets more exposure.Quatrevingtsix (talk) 21:36, 25 March 2008

This article was very informative. Maybe some pictures could be included. For example, pictures of DNA analyzing equipment. Other than that, the article was interesting. Dbw279 (talk) 20:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys--make the changes required by the warning banners as soon as possible. you don't want your article deleted. ABrundage, Texas A&M University (talk) 21:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont understand what you mean by linkless apparently, because we have plenty of links on our paper. dansha4521f (UTC)

I misunderstood at first too, it means no other articles refer to ours. It's an "orphan". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antarcticgecko (talkcontribs) 06:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do you understand now? I hope Adrienne will tell you to create incoming links but in fact it is not mandatory from the standpoint of Wikipedia policy. However one thing is absolutely clear: if you are not willing to create incoming links, you must leave the {{linkless}} tag in place. Do you understand? If the linkless tag gets removed once more, I shall protect the page out of sheer frustration.
Also, could you point me to the bit in the MoS that says we have an "Introduction" section. I thought that articles started straight off with an intro paragraph. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So I think I successfully linked the article to at least two other articles: Entomology and the law and Forensic entomology and society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Txshinerblonde (talkcontribs)

Review article

Just so you know, Dr. Jeff Wells from West Virginia University recently published a review article on this very subject. It was published in the Annual Review of Entomology 2008.ABrundage, Texas A&M University (talk) 16:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nit picking

You lot are of course professional nit pickers but I seem to be doing it on an amateur basis. Would you please point me to the bit of the Manual of Style that says that "blood meal extraction" must have capital letters on meal and extraction? Is it somebody's name? Is it a well established trade name? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category

You could categorize your article with forensic entomology, entomology or both. You could also link it to other articles by placing a See Also heading that allows you to link to other pages.--Angelar.steinhauer (talk) 15:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
