[edit] Someone, please read the biographies!!

There's plenty of info about Geddes on the web, and some quite good biographies: no real excuse for a page that fails to mention 75% of his life!

[edit] Think Global, Act Local

If you google the above saying of Patrick Geddes you are offered the Wikipedia entry for 'Think Globally, Act Locally' which is attributed to the founder of Friends of the Earth in the 1960s. Clearly this is just a hijacking of the Geddes saying, but no credit is given. I don't really want to edit either this page or that one because I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to make a sufficient comment on the significance of the phrase, but thought I would offer up this opportunity to someone who does.Ewan carmichael (talk) 18:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
