Merging with Psychological impact of climate change under Eco-anxiety[edit]

Dear Wikipedians, I've noticed this article has high priority under Wikiproject:ClimateChange, but seems to've come to a standstill as it remains a rather inactive. I think the article's would find a more pertinent place if it were to merge with the section "Eco-anxiety" in the linked page. Some seem to use eco-anxiety synonymously with ecophobia and/or oikophobia,

Hence my question for your input. Personally I think it'd be better if we were to sharpen the mentioned article and incorporate this page's content there. Let me know what seems preferable. Thank you for your time! TijlBogaerts (talk) 18:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A good shout at the time you made this proposal, but I see this article has been recently expanded. I've removed merge tag as there had been no discussion in over 3 months. Thanks though for the suggestion. FeydHuxtable (talk) 18:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 March 2022 and 30 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): ElinaTheWriter (article contribs).

Clarity[edit]

Reading this article I feel there are two close-to-contradictory definitions at play here:

"fear that the planet is increasingly inhospitable" or "fear of the environmental effects of human actions"
"ethical undervaluing of the natural environment" or "fear, contempt, indifference, or lack of mindfulness ... toward the natural environment"

Its fine that there are two different definitions, but then the article should make this clear from the beginning. The first sentence, which is what most people read, suggests there is a single definition. And the rest of the article switches between "definition A", "definition B", and "there are conflicting definitions" multiple times. It is very confusing. The List of phobias only uses the "fear of cataclysmic environmental change" definition, which doesn't help.

Assume you know nothing about the topic and start reading from the top. I feel this article is more likely to confuse a naive reader than enlighten them. I'd much appreciate if someone knowledgeable would find the time to clean this up. Thanks! --2A02:8109:AB89:F900:6DE6:6EB2:A7F2:9782 (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
