Talk:Evolution (disambiguation)

message: No, evolution is a phenomenon: "evolution by natural selection" (aka Darwinism) is a theory. --Calton 02:02, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Note Evolution is a theory

message: For the time being, I have added Theistic evolution under the Science section. If someone believes it would be more appropriate under the Other section (due to its  Creationist associations), feel free to move it.

thread_title:  Theistic evolution 

message: There is a contradiction here.
In the 'introduction' it is said that evolution is always not goal-oriented. But later the term evolution is applied to technological evolution. As far as I can see, the latter is goal-oriented. Should this contradiction not be expressively mentioned? Cayambe 16:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: <<In this sense, we may observe that a system transforms itself in another one. In opposite to design and control processes an evolution is caused by natural forces.>>
Automobiles designs have evolved and so have languages and many other things not by 'natural forces' Dontletmedown 19:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I find it somewhat disconcerting that there is a huge See also link, and that evolution (term) does not appear anywhere in this article.--04:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Evolution (term)]] 

message: The page opens with a MosDab which links to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages which makes the claim that "things that have "evolution" in the title but aren't known as simply "evolution" should be in the See also or deleted from the page.  See WP:MOSDAB." but in fact MOS:DABPRIMARY says something completely different and that we should be linking to primary topic issues at the top of the article and not shoved away in the see also section as claimed. What it says is "Since it is unlikely that this primary topic is what readers are looking for if they have reached the disambiguation page, it should not be mixed in with the other links. It is recommended that the link back to the primary topic appear at the top, in a brief explanatory sentence." I am therefore going to change the page on this basis. ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 03:40, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Great!  Thanks SqueakBox.  I've followed your lead and my understanding of WP:MOSDAB.  See what you think.  Beyond refinements of this disambiguation article, the Evolution (term) article needs a good rewrite with references.  TheProfessor (talk) 15:29, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: MOSDAB + PRIMARY

message: Perhaps we should have a page of List of evolution topics and link to that from the top of this dab page. ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 02:16, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Such a page shouold also, of course, be linked to alongside the dab page at the top of Evolution itself. ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 02:41, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like consensus to proceed.  So let's make the changes.  On the disambiguation page we need to include Evolutionary biology, along with anything else also known simply as "Evolution", possibly Evolutionary computation and various of the "Non-biological evolution" list.
