Talk:Ediacaran biota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Article move
Given that the International Commission on Stratigraphy decided to name the period Ediacaran instead of Vendian, shouldn't this article be renamed to Ediacaran biota? Google gives more hits to "Vendian biota" than "Ediacaran biota", but on the other hand "Ediacaran fauna" is the most popular (and misleading, if all lifeforms are considered). Google Scholar prefers "Ediacaran biota" over "Vendian biota".--Jyril 18:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Either way would be fine I think - it's not like you hear one at the grocery store all the time, and the other one not. :-) Stan 23:25, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Agree that "Ediacaran biota" is the way to go. The name is official for the period now, so we should tend that way too for other related items.
It is hard to argue against the ICS, so a merger under Ediacaran has my support too. Just do it. Fedor 19:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I also think Vendian should be merged into Ediacaran. Just include a note explaining the Vendian usage. -- Donald Albury(Talk) 21:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why the merge?
Given that the comments above agreed that it would be better to merge Vendian biota into Ediacaran biota, why did the oppossite happen? -- Donald Albury(Talk) 11:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Missing images
Images won't load, and seem not to exist at all, which is abnormal. What's wrong? --69.196.212.30 04:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- If you mean Image:Charnia wardi.jpg, it seems to be removed. Possible reason for this is that it may have been a copyrighted image.--Jyril 09:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
