Talk:Cold-blooded

message: This really should be under Ectotherm instead of Cold-Blooded, since Cold-Blooded is archaic and not technically correct.

I believe the title of this page should be "Ectothermic" because "cold-blooded" is a term used by people who are not really into Biology and such - "Ectothermic" is the proper word for "cold-blooded". I do agree with Woofles. Kapt'n S 01:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

: Good point, but this isn't Wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cold-blooded On the other hand, a link to the wiktionary entry would be useful, if someone could recall the syntax for that. Richard W.M. Jones 17:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not understand why my changes were reverted. I think everyone here can agree that this page should be under "ectotherms" instead of the outdated term "cold-blooded". "cold-blooded" should redirect to ectotherm, not vice versa. This change reflects the retirement of a term that is no longer used due to it's inaccuracy. I made this change because it has been discussed, and there is no reason to have such a misnomer on wikipedia.
I completely agree, this is an encyclopedia, not a "Childs Biology". I agree with the change to ectotherm.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.33.102 (talk) 09:55, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I totally agree with this, as well. This is an encyclopedia, and 'cold blood' is a lazy and informal term. StevePrutz (talk) 22:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I would disagree that cold-blooded and ectotherm are synonymous. The term is used as a wastebin for all animals that are not birds, or mammals, and thus includes many animals that are homeothermic ecotherms, endothermic poikilotherms, and endothermic bradymetabolic animals. An earlier revision of this page had that. If we are going to go to a shorter, disambiguation page, then I would recommend we do the same for warm-blooded as well.
