Wikipedia articles that Paul is considering expanding:

Possible articles

• Canon of Medicine
  

This is my number one pick. I didn't initially intend on editing the Canon of Medicine because there was already some information in the article. However, as part of my first assignment to simply add a sentence or two with references, I began looking at possibly contributing to the Canon of Medicine article. I soon discovered that the information within was extremely wrong or out of order or incomplete. I think I would like to flesh out this article with more detail.

• Mysterium Cosmographicum
  

This is my number two pick. It is an important book by Kepler, yet it has only a few paragraphs in the Wikipedia article and has only a couple of references. Much of the article has to do with a commemorative coin. It seems likely I could find a translation of the work, along with some other papers and books about the work and flesh out this article.

• Harmonices Mundi
  
• Banu Musa
  
• De nive sexangula
  

As far as I know, a page does not yet exist for this document. However, I think an early copy exists in the OU History of Science collection.

• Data (Euclid)
  

This document's page is extremely thin.

• Ibn al-Shatir
  

Considering that this is the guy that originally conceived of a heliocentric system, this article doesn't seem to do him justice.

I like where your head's at with all of these. Your suggestions seem solid, and I think any of these would be a good choice for the project. You should be able to find a good bit of secondary information on any of these works. Finding English translations might be the key selection criteria. I'll leave the final choice to you.Kirwanfan (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
