Talk:Invention

message: I see that there is a ton of dissent on this page about small tiny changes.  However, the article has been tagged for copy editing for over a year.  It has also been tagged for a lack of continuity and because it is confusing. It seems to me that there are two competing themes on the page -- invention as a technical term used in technical/engineering applications and invention used in the more creative broad sense.  These things can be discussed on the same page, but I think some kind of acknowledgement of this left brain/right brain split might help everyone happy.
so I am going to try and do a major copy-edit and re-organize the article to bring about these changes.  I understand that there may be some discussion or disagreement about this, but I am hopeful everyone will like what I have done to make the article tighter and more readable.  Comments are welcome!

message: FYI: I am a newcomer and this is my first wikipedia edit, as prompted by an online MOOC on social media. 
I think animals do not generally get the credit they deserve when it comes to their importance in human lives. Recently, David Attenborough said that our natural world is under assault. This is likely do to the under-appreciation of animals. Animals serve as inspiration. They also generate technologies/advances themselves (spider silk, antibiotics on platypus). Let's honor our natural world and its animals. A reference to this article would be a start: http://mentalfloss.com/article/22702/10-technologies-we-stole-animal-kingdom.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.245.32.26 (talk) 21:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Animal-inspired inventions 

message: :Inventor is a short stub describing "a person who creates or discovers [...] an invention." Since these are clearly closely related topics, and since Invention is the more elaborated article, I think that Inventor should be merged into it. Opinions?

message: You added the template , but did not specify which other articles 'Invention' contradicts, nor how. Could you (or other editors who see the contradiction(s)) please comment here about what problems you see? Thank you, Cnilep (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the template, as it was not clear what, if anything, contradicted other information on Wikipedia, and there did not appear to be any action forthcoming. Cnilep (talk) 10:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
