[edit] Merge to or from Industrial agriculture
The article Industrial agriculture seems to contain only the same information in the relevant sections of this article. The sections in this article could be severely reduced with the main article at Industrial agriculture, or Industrial agriculture could be redirected here. Exploding Boy 19:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- The idea was for someone who wishes to add to one of these two articles to remove some of the duplicated information and expand on the rest. If no one steps up to bat for that job, then maybe a merge is the best way to go. Anyone care to accually add to these agricultural articles? By the way, the context for all this can be found at talk:factory farming where people seem to want to revert each other more than add sourced data. WAS 4.250 14:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm going to remove most of the duplicated information in the next hour or so. WAS 4.250 16:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please do not blanket revert
Specially without discussion. Being bold allwos me to edit without discussion, but if you disagree please explain.
My edits are consistent with the fact that a separate Factory farming article exists that deals with Livestock and Poultry in an industrial setting. Taking redundancy out. Please do not attempt to confuse our readers and undermine process by adding redundant content to a page that is not about the topic. This is a POV merge, and is unacceptable.--Cerejota 08:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rewrite
My recent edits and reformatting are intended to better article quality and fit the sources. I did some work on encyclopedic voice and internal coherence, in particular when naming things.
It is obvious to me, using Industrial agriculture (crops) as model, that this article is a sor tof parent article to Factory farm. Sources show that factory farm, and associated terms (ie CAFOs, ILOs, CFOs etc) are the form that livestock and poultry industrial agriculture takes in the world. However, there is also industrial aquaculture. SO this page should serve a role in establishing the existence of these forms of agriculture, but leave the bulk of the contents to be handled by the sub-pages. My edits are geared in this direction.--Cerejota 10:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, industrial agriculture (animals) is not limited to so-called factory farming; factory farming is a subset. Industrial agriculture includes mere intensive methods using industrial equipment; so-called factory farming requires high animal population density. You are correct that industrial agriculture should be a more generic page, with this among other pages as subpages -- which, happily, is the case. Jav43 23:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Synthesis
This section added as there is insistence that there is undue synthesis on this article. Rather than edit war the article, I have added this section to support the tag assertion that there is discussion on the problem here.
As yet this tagging has not been justified.Spenny 10:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
