Hi. This article has some good information, but try http://encyclopedia.com/html/e/entomolo.asp for some more information! Remember to still keep wikipedia running strong though! The site needs you!

Why is there a picture of a mammal, specifically a tiger, on the right side of this page? Is this some new classification of insect? [[User:208.230.118.253|208.230.118.253]] 18:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I do not think that the two should be merged "Entomology as ...." is a very decent stand alone article and both have enough information to be presented as full articles on their own. I think that people looking for information on insects or entomology in general may not want to peruse through an article that encompasses the sort of subject matter found in forensic entomology. "Entomology as ...." should definitely be linked, but not merged to the main entomology article. The two topics are different enough to be separate.

Under Organizations, the link "Entomology.org" is actually a commercial site that sends people to pest control companies for services. I do not think this should be allowed on this page. If it is, I have a site that offers scores of insect-related software for sale. [[User:Trfasulo|Trfasulo]] ([[User talk:Trfasulo|talk]]) 01:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

The site says that insects account for 2/3 of all organisms. This is impossible. I'm not sure what the exact reference is made to but their are far more unicellular organisms than insects. Perhaps they meant 2/3 of all multi-cellular organisms, but in any case this should be corrected. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.253.69.116|128.253.69.116]] ([[User talk:128.253.69.116|talk]]) 22:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Here is the first part of the sentence: "At some 1.3 million described species, insects account for more than 2/3rds of all known organisms..." In that context, it is clear that the 2/3 represents a fraction of the number of species, not the number of organisms.--[[User:Geometricks|Geometricks]] ([[User talk:Geometricks|talk]]) 15:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

== TV entomologists as history? ==

What's with that? It is quite a stretch to place those fictional characters in the history section. Perhaps there could be a popular entertainment section, but I would be more inclined to delete them altogether.--[[User:Geometricks|Geometricks]] ([[User talk:Geometricks|talk]]) 15:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

:I agree with your point regarding a separate section so I've implemented it. [[User:Untrue Believer|Untrue Believer]] ([[User talk:Untrue Believer|talk]]) 00:16, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

:Don't forget to read the book! If we are going to mention TV shows with "entomology," it is only fair to list books too. So I listed some. However, I would like to make the suggestion that this section might be better off further down the page as it is not the "science" of entomology, even if it is related. And if you haven't read '''The Forgotten Planet''' or '''Atta''', you have missed some very enjoyable reading. [[User:Trfasulo|Thomas R.

[edit]

The external links on this article have been tagged as of concern for some time, and listed at Category:Wikipedia external links cleanup. They appear not to meet the requirements at Wikipedia:External links, failing WP:ELNO#1 at least. However, they may be of use to editors wishing to work on the article, so they have been moved here. If, after examination, a link is found not to be useful it can be removed from this list. If the link does prove useful and it meets the WP:RELIABLE criteria, appropriate information can be summarised in the article, using the link as an inline citation, and then the link can be removed from this list. Some links may be appropriate to be used as external links per EL criteria; however, be aware that, per WP:ELBURDEN, none of these links should be returned to the article without first discussing it here and gaining consensus.
