Talk:How the Snake Lost Its Legs

Homage within science???

"The title pays homage to Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, but within the strict confines of science." (Early in the intro.) I think something is missing here. It says that the Homage is within the strict confines of science. I think that homage can never be that. Is the intended meaning that the content of the book is scientifically correct? --Ettrig (talk) 10:44, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Indeed. I don't think any native English speaker would find this tricky but I'll reword it now for wider benefit. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:57, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

• Why is ref no. 3 a link to a google scholar search?   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  01:18, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Gone, guess ref 2 is sufficient context.

• The second, third, and fifth paragraphs in the Contents section needs a ref at the end

Added.

• I think the Publication, illustrations section could just be titled Publications   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  01:18, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Done.

• "As a result, 'The essay, thus, works...' " little redundant   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  01:18, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Gone.

• I did a little copyediting so I guess that's that   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  01:18, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
