In the early days of EvC Forum before Wikipedia and powerful search engines I tried to attract visitors by increasing content, and the geology and biology glossaries resulted from that effort. Because there is only one of me I wrote scripts to do much of the work instead of doing all the typing myself, and mistakes like the ones you describe are probably not uncommon.
There seems little use for these glossaries in today's Internet, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Hold on sec, let me check the web stats for those pages...
Wow, I'm surprised! They're in the top 30 at positions 24 and 28, about 440 hits in October. That's nowhere close to the number of hits for message display with 1,636,000 hits or even the forums list page with 17,500 hits, but it's still respectable.
Would you be interested in making the fixes? Or maybe recruiting someone?
