[edit] Series of Questions
Could we scrap the line "Modules will focus only on answering a specific series of questions plus about the subject" from the project description? I don't feel that an appropriate set of questions could be formulated that would be usable for every module, for example, the same question could not be used for the eyes as for the blood. If the same questions were used big gaps would appear in the comprehensiveness of the modules. Urbane User (Talk) (Contributions) 13:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I respect your opinion on that. What we have done in the past is change the questions somewhat to suit the topic. I think the questions help to keep consistency in the modules and give us an idea of the relative completeness of each module/article. I think that they aid the development process and help to attract new users in th early development process. Certainly I don't object to changing the text of that particular passage to something a little more open-ended. What are your thoughts? --xixtas talk 13:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Great start on the article on blood, BTW. Nicely written. :) --xixtas talk 13:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry i was unable to answer your previous question, i didnt get a chance to log n yesterday afternoon. Thanks for taking my suggestions on board, I think the new rephrased sentence is great. And thanks for the support on the blood article. It is very much appreciated. Urbane User (Talk) (Contributions) 10:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Content Organization
It seems to make sense to organize this book with body systems as chapters and organs as pages under those. As an example, DigestiveSystem would be a chapter. Stomach, SmallIntestine, and LargeIntestine would be pages under that. The current pages are not named that way. Should we reorganize? If so, what is the process for doing that? Also, is there a TOC for this book? It might be easier to flesh out with that as an outline. I am happy to write that if that makes sense. Kfasimpaur 23:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC) talk
[edit] General look and original artwork
Some nice articles underway here but many of the illustrations for example from Greys anatomy anno 1918 may not seem appealing to kids. Perhaps I have a somewhat prejudice view of what kids may appreciate but I would imagine more colorful images would be popular? I wish I could make it happen but unfortunately I'm not that great at drawing...
[edit] Updating Development Stages
Since these haven't been updated in a while i think that while we are editing the pages we should change the development to what we think it deserves. Whether that be lowering or raising it's level. I would like to receive some feedback on what you think we should change. Thanks.
Also what do you think we should consider doing about the ears section. It seems like most of what has to be said about the ear, has been written. That said do you think we should update the development considering there is only so much we can talk about and it isn't a lot?
