See the user contribs. What's the betting it turns out that he was the founder of whatever company the anon is inserting advertising for? -- Tannin
Some obscure author. --Menchi 05:21 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I was heretofore unaware of him, but some quick research indicates he's apparently a fairly influential anthropologist, so much so that he was knighted for his work in the field. So I wrote up an article based on some mostly google-driven research. --Delirium 05:36 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Good work, too. RickK 05:37 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- You wrote those two long paragraphs in 10 minutes? --Menchi 05:39 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Well, was more like 20 minutes (I started writing soon after the initial version appeared). I pretty much just stole the information on [1] (http://emuseum.mnsu.edu/information/biography/abcde/evanspritchard_ee.html) and [2] (http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_evanspritchard.htm) (two of the first google results for "E.E. Evans-Pritchard"), but wrote it up in my own words. --Delirium 05:42 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
