Talk:Stephens Island (New Zealand)

message: "Outstanding ecological features – Takapourewa has been calculated to have the greatest density of top predators both in numbers and biomass of any piece of land on Earth (calculated by the author and published in New Scientist C1996)". Perhaps this could be expanded to explain what these 'Top Predators' are. GrahamBould 10:25, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right now I cannot find any reference to 'Top Predators' or 'Outstanding ecological features', so I assume this issue went away when the article was revised to resolve the copyright issue talked about below. Herewhy (talk) 03:00, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Top Predator

message: Telso
The phrase "(calculated by the author and published in New Scientist C1996)" suggests that this was taken from a published author's article, and while that person could have been the anonymous IP who contributed it, I doubt it.  The "C1996" suggests it was taken directly from a webpage, but I have had no luck finding it.  If someone has New Scientists from 1996, that would certainly be useful.

replies: text: Part of it is here with the rest behind a paywall. I will remove the claim from the article until concrete refs come to light. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 00:02, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move discussion in progress 

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: not moved. The consensus is against calling this island primary, with virtually all other participants finding the usage data too weak for the nominator's conclusion. (non-admin closure) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 00:11, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Many were not satisfied by the natural disambiguation argument, it turns out. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 03:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
