[edit] How to save this page
Turn it into an article discussing the significance the number of neurons (citing reliable sources, of course). Given that there are an estimated 1.5 million described species, this list can never come anywhere near completeness, and without discussion of the significance of the number of neurons for a given species, it will never be more than an indiscriminate collection of information. -- Donald Albury 00:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree that this page is an indiscrimated collection of information' for it fails to be considered any of the following:
- FAQ's
- Travel Guides
- Memorials
- Instruction Manuals
- Internet guides
- Textbooks and annotated texts
- Plot summaries
I will update it and discuss the number of neurons. I personally believe that the problem with wikipedia is that there is not enough detailed evidence. If you go to the animal page, it does a very good job of discussing the basics (similar characteristics amongst different animals, root of the name, reproduction, history), but fails to provide information which people, like myself, require: general behavior, pages for specific animals, specific strengths, specific strengths... I also disagree that this site should be closed down simply because there are 1.5 million types of animals
- the number is not that big when you group similar animals together (canines, felines...)
- should we also close down the insect page by this reasoning?
I will take your advice and try to update this page Paskari 10:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
