Evolutionary biology B‑class High‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biologyWikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyTemplate:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biology

High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

A summary of this article appears in Death.

Graph

This paper http://www.ucihs.uci.edu/biochem/steele/PDFs/Hydra_senescence_paper.pdf has a graph showing age of first reproduction vs lifetime that we might want to reproduce in some way. — Omegatron 22:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling?

Is the British English spelling "ageing?" The correct American spelling is "aging." 128.101.207.39 08:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Richard001 00:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence in the article uses the American spelling. Should that be changed to the British version if that's the way the title is going to be? How are we supposed to keep this consistent? This is a common problem I've noticed on Wikipedia... damn two different types of English speakers. Quixoto 19:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went through the whole thing and changed all spellings to ageing some months ago, but the journal articles still mainly use 'aging' since they're mostly American, and I don't want to change the title of the articles just because of spelling differences. The spelling you're talking about here was just an anon 'correcting' the spelling, albeit to make it inconsistent with the article title. I've left a message about our policies on different spelling systems on their talk page. If anyone else changes the spelling just revert it and do the same.

I changed all occurrences of "aging" back to "ageing" (since the title of the article contains "ageing") except for the occurrences that occurred within titles in the references, since it's Wikipedia's policy not to change spellings in titles and quotations if I understood it correctly. ::Travis Evans 11:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are more than two variants of English spelling. :-) Here's the way we handle it: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English — Omegatron 00:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

problem?

It says "almost" all things.. If I am not mistaken, ALL things DO die. Not "almost all." Anyone else agree?
