thread_title:  Poll 

message: This is my first talk page entry, so beware and stuff.
I read this line:
The description as a "tree" results from earlier ideas of life as a progression from lower to higher forms. Although such views are discredited now, the imagery is too well established to be readily lost.
and I wondered how such views were discredited and also about the very nature of these poorly described views. Please to elaborate?
:See History of evolutionary thought.
More generally, perhaps the tree model is still used because of the basic concept that an earlier species evolves into two species (as described in speciation). The two species are not more advanced, or "higher." But they are later in time, "younger".  Humans anf gorillas have a common ancestor, perhaps Proconsul (genus). Neither humans or gorillas are necessarily better in their ecological niches than Proconsul was it its niche. Nor is it useful to say that they are "higher forms." And, even more, it is not useful to say that humans are a higher form of life than gorillas. They are simply different. DGG 03:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I agree that this page should simply become a redirect to phylogenetic tree.  I guess the question is, what is the portal to the WP:TOL for a reader who wants to see the highest level of organization, that is, the root of the tree of all of life?  Am I missing something, or is this kind of portal, like the home page for Tree of Life Web Project, missing?  Know what I mean?

Talk:Educational perennialism

message: Great article! --Seb
----
Yes, very interesting article, a subject close to my heart.
Do you know who coined "educational perennialism"?
:Perennialists believe that one should teach the things of everlasting importance to all people everywhere. ... Therefore, one should teach principles, not facts. 
The above strikes me as a pretty obvious nonsequitur.  (There are plenty of facts that everybody should know.)  Is that actually what real perennialists say?

Talk:Extinction event

message: In the "Extinctions by severity"  section the table contains the use of '~' for some values.  This means the numbers aren't properly sorted.  Some columns all the data has the approximate symbol.  Other columns like the year have only a few uses of the symbol and its negative impact can be seen.
The easiest way to fix the sort would be to remove the ~.  It could be argued that every value is approximate and that the symbol only increases confusion in implying that some years are exact. Quelrod (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Furthermore, there is no "Arab Orthodox Church." Churches in Arabic-speaking lands almost entirely refer to themselves as Greek Orthodox.

Talk:Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox

message: In the first line of description of the EPR experiment it is currently written:
: The thought experiment involves a pair of particles prepared in what would later become known as an entangled state.
I think it is misleading to link "particles" to "states". In quantum mechanics (not quantum field theory), a particle is in a state or it has a state, but it is not a state. In addition, there is a single quantum state not a pair of them involved in the EPR thought experiment. Since  undid my change in the article, I'm starting the discussion here to come to a better formulation. I think it's uncontroversial that
: The thought experiment involves a pair of particles prepared in what would later become known as an entangled state.
The only question is where to put the wikilinks. I object to linking "particles" to "quantum state" since the two are very different objects; if we don't and link "entangled state" to "quantum entanglement" then the concept of quantum state doesn't appear in the sentence (which is why I linked "entangled" to entanglement and "state" to "quantum state"). An alternative could be:
: The thought experiment involves a pair of particles prepared in a state of the kind that would later become known as an entangled state.
