Evolutionary biology

[edit]

What does this article have to do with evolutionary biology? The article assumes that people in future generations will have the same biological status and range of human needs as people in the current generation. Propose removing connection with this project. - BobKilcoyne (talk) 03:16, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Links to this article

[edit]

I have exchanged reverts with User:Sadads in the Information commons article, concerning the linking of future generations. In my view the term is used in that article as an everyday phrase meaning generations to come, and MOS:OLINK says that everyday terms easily understood in context should not be linked. Sadads disagrees, saying not an everyday thing -- read the article.

This article discusses a specialised use of the term in the context of intergenerational equity:

  • The term refers to the impact which the currently living generation has on the world which future generations will live in, the world they will inherit from humans living today.

There is a case to be made for merging this article into Intergenerational equity, but my focus here is on inappropriate linking. The term should only be linked in other articles where it use relates to intergenerational equity. Verbcatcher (talk) 10:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Verbcatcher: So the information commons is not about intergenerational equity? Hmmm... I am confused by that interpretation. As for the others, feel free to remove individual instances if its inappropriate, Sadads (talk) 13:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
