[xmca] Wikipedia article on LCHC

[Steve Gabosch <stevegabosch@me.com>]

Several of us collaborated and created a Wikipedia article on LCHC,  
now available at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_of_Comparative_Human_Cognition_(LCHC)

Please look this over with a critical eye.  This is just a core  
initial article to build upon.  There are other Wikipedia articles  
related to CHAT that could be linked to, added to - and some new CHAT- 
related articles that could be created.  One possibility would be to  
create articles about specific major CHAT-based writings.
After you've looked at this LCHC article, click on the "Discussion"  
tab at the top left.  This will lead you to some tips on how to edit  
this article, or any Wikipedia article.
Feel free to make suggestions.  For example, Martin suggests, quite  
rightly, that we could add to the Suggested Readings section  
Vygotsky's Collected Works, and other writings by Vygotsky.  Such a  
list of suggested readings could eventually be divided into sub- 
sections, if it gets long enough.  (Such an extended list could even  
become a separate article, perhaps - some kind of a bibliography of  
major and suggested CHAT writings - just tossing out an idea).
I think this LCHC article could use a "See Also" section, which lists  
Wikipedia links that are specifically relevant to CHAT.
For those that are not able or not comfortable with adding to or  
changing (editing) the LCHC article yourself, you can make suggestions  
on the Discussion page (also called by WP the Talk Page) under the  
section entitled "Suggestions."  Or say something here on xmca.  Or  
write me or someone offlist.  Or just make the change yourself anyway!
I've learned a lot about Wikipedia helping create this article.   
Wikipedia is actually quite easy to edit, once one learns a few of the  
codes, and gets a little practice.  It is an amazing tool - I use it  
frequently, sometimes just as a search device to find useful external  
links for a topic.  This makes me think about how can we make this  
LCHC article, and other CHAT-related articles in WP, better tools ...
So what do people think?
