After pruning out loads of encyclopedic crap generated by a certain IP (do we really need to know which gods and goddesses were aunts, uncles, brothers and cousins to which?), there's some important stuff missing from this or its alternative form pages, such as Gaia, the earth treated as a being in environmental philosophy. Right now, Gaea is the lemma, but modern usage seems to favor Gaia. At any rate, missing senses need to be added, perhaps things need to be restructured, and I'm getting burned out from trying to make real entries out of this garbage. Any assistance would be appreciated. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:15, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the cleanup. We certainly need Lovelock's sense because it is now more than 40 years old and widely used outside Lovelock's writings, but I'm not sure where to put it either. For now, I've added it to the entry at Gaia since this spelling is the one normally used for the Earth sense, whilst Gaea is the usual spelling for the god. Dbfirs 09:02, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
