Talk:Self-organized criticality

I have begun the article by copying across the introduction from the Wikipedia article, which was largely written by me. This will be followed by the "see also" section and references.

So far I have not added the remaining material, for the following reasons:

• I think the Wikipedia article could do with being restructured
• The Wikipedia article suffered from minor edits with people adding their "pet topic" to example lists, distorting the structure of the writing. The new article should be designed to deal with this in a better way.
• The article needs to be friendlier to non-scientific readers

With this in mind, I'm inclined to start with a largely blank canvas, although including of course useful and relevant material from the Wikipedia article. —Joseph Rushton Wakeling 06:55, 9 February 2007 (CST)
