Talk:List of anthropologists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] List is on its way out
I suggest you consider this list obsolete.
I am currently converting all to the Wiki Category Anthropologists.
I recommend the replacement of this list with the current Wikipedia:Category named "Anthropologists". This would mean replacing every last one of these entries in this list with the link
[[Category:Anthropologists | last name here, first name and initials here ]]
I have already done this for the listed persons through letter F, but have not yet removed them. I'm going to let this sit for a while and then do so. Many persons listed already are in the "Anthropologists" category.
For the anthropologists without an article yet, this list will need to remain as "List of Anthropologists without an Article". Tom Lougheed 19:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I have moved the persons without an article to the top, in order to facilitate making them a separate list. Tom Lougheed 01:31, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] deleting Chomsky
Regarding deletion of Chomsky: I meant generative, not "structural" linguist (it's been bugging me that I wrote that in the edit summary).
Still, Noam Chomsky is not an anthropologist — at least I got that right! User:Birdmessenger 13 December 2004
George Lakoff also is not an anthropologist!
[edit] Mark Ritchie is not an anthropologist
Mark Andrew Ritchie wrote a book on the Yanomamo that argues for a Christian worldview (or so I gather from a quick Googling). The fact that he wrote about the Yanomamo does not make him an anthropologist. Unless Spicynugget can produce any evidence that Ritchie is an anthropologist, his name should be removed from this list.--Birdmessenger 20:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Agree, no verifiable reliable sources so far. If anyone knows of some please provide references! Please remember: verifiable and reliable sources. Weregerbil 08:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
