When starting to edit this article, I found much text identical to similarly-titled article in WP. 
Our article has had no substantive edits since Feb 2007 (except my recent 2009 edits), whereas WPers have continued to develop theirs substantively through 2007, 2008, and up to Feb 2009.
I would not like to read a report comparing WP's and CZ's version of "Evolution of Cetaceans", especially in this Darwin Bicentennial year.
I suggest starting over from scratch, with the most recent scientific findings up front.  I see now my edits really do not fit in. I doubt 'edits' can make this a coherent, authoritative account.
Any Cetacean scholars interested?

This article mirrors WP very closely, and the science needs updating

When starting to edit this article, I found much text identical to similarly-titled article in WP.

Our article has had no substantive edits since Feb 2007 (except my recent 2009 edits), whereas WPers have continued to develop theirs substantively through 2007, 2008, and up to Feb 2009.

I would not like to read a report comparing WP's and CZ's version of "Evolution of Cetaceans", especially in this Darwin Bicentennial year.

I suggest starting over from scratch, with the most recent scientific findings up front. I see now my edits really do not fit in. I doubt 'edits' can make this a coherent, authoritative account.

Any Cetacean scholars interested?
