I'm saying that taking archeological primary sources on some skeleton to an artist's impression of the person is more difficult than taking several drawings to some composite artist's impression. The latter is more like what we do everyday on Wikipedia: we take multiple sources to generate a composite representation of the information out there. We don't do OR interpreting original data ourselves. Laura Scudder On 5/18/06, Steve Bennett <stevagewp(a)gmail.com> wrote:
