Talk:Outline of forestry

message: Is a list of "basic forestry topics" really needed? I mean, there already is a List of forestry topics and it's not a very good article/list; so if the list of all forestry topics can't be a good article, I don't think this one will be any better. —KingIvan 08:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends who works on it.  Check out List of basic cell biology topics.  The main author of that list has started work on this one. ;)  The Transhumanist 20:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that the external links section has a lot of good links, but it is getting too extensive. As they seem country-specific, should we try to move the links into the pertaining country page as they are created? minnecologies (talk) 00:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates.  Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

message: Should the Outline of forestry include a section on Lumberjack sports? At the college level, this would include Woodsman teams. More broadly speaking, it would encompass such activities as Wood chopping, the Lumberjack World Championship, the Stihl Timbersports Series, and the World Logging Championship. I don't see an obvious place to put such a section. Not entirely sure it fits here, but there is an affinity... Suggestions? DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
