Comment

While not a project worthy of national importance, the GGI project is run by a respected member of the ornithological community, and is under the auspices of AMNH, an institution of great reputation and importance. I've worked on the island approximately 5 weeks at a time, during the summers of 2005 & 2006, so I have more than a passing familiarity with the topic. In short, this topic is relevant to ornothologists as well as prospective interns, so unless you've worked there, or with the people involved, please don't delete it.

Well, anyone can contribute, of course. Since I started this page, it's really starting to shape up. Thanks for your work on it. And with the shrinking populations of birds, GGI may indeed be of national importance. By the way, why don't you tell Helen Hays et al. about this page and maybe they might be interested in spicing it up. (On GGI, with all the terns, are "prospective interns" called eggs?)--LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 03:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
