Some of this article may refer to "tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests" as the main topics rather than the rainforest, but it shouldn't. Background: This article (Tropical rainforest) was moved to Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests for a while, and then that article was split in two, with half of it going back here (tropical rainforest). "Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests" is a broader topic, of which "tropical rainforest" is only a part. Some old talk would be found in Talk:Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests. Please help keep the differences between these topics clear. Cheers. —Pengo 21:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed a lot of material on a single specific ethnic group that makes some use of rainforest from the "Human uses" section. While I'm sure it was all perfectly accurate it is also only very tangential to the subject at hand. In addition a full paragraph on one single ethnic group is way overboard. If we included a similar amount of material on the literally thousands of other ethnic groups that make some use of rainforests worldwide the article would be a mess. Everyone has thier favourite group or other hobby horse, but if we can't do justice to all, or at least a representive sample, there is neither purpoise nor fairness in delving into fine detail on one.
- I suggest the contributor starts a new artciel to detail that ethnic group. Such anthropological/religious detail doesn't belong in what should be an ecology article, IMO anyway. 203.164.198.193
