[WikiEN-l] Disambiguation proposal

Tue Jul 1 19:22:17 UTC 2003

For some reason my fellow Wikipedias keep missing the main
point: standard Wikipedia protocol for disambiguation. In
the past, this has prevented flame wars. Why is it not
being allowed here? Let's change the [[Gaia]] article to a
disambiguation page (proposal follows)

-----

'''Gaia''': This is a [[disambiguation]] page. The term
'''Gaia''' may refer to

[[Gaia (goddess]] - A Greek and Roman goddeess.

[[Gaia theory]] - A group of scientific theories about how
life on Earth may regulate the planet's biosphere to make
it more hospitable to life. This discusses scientific views
on the subject in general, including the views of Drs.
James Lovelock, Lynn Margulis, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan,
etc.

[[Gaia hypothesis]] - An article devoted to solely to Dr.
James Lovelock's ideas on Gaia theory.

[[Gaia theory predecessors]] - A discussion of
proto-scientific, mystical and religious views about life
on Earth that bear similarity to Gaia theory.

[[Gaians]] - A radical political and environmentalist
group.

(and other related topics can be added as well. Perhaps
Gaia theory in religion, Gaia theory in art, etc.)

----

Will this work?
