File talk:Punctuated-equilibrium.svg

Why we don't need this diagram, and do need another
Well, the edit page for this previously non-existent talk page displayed approximately the following text:


 * 1) That text is mistaken at least to the extent that
 * File:Punctuated-equilibrium.svg does in fact exist;
 * also, the server knows enuf to display the link, as a blue link, in the msg claiming the page doesn't exist.
 * 1) It neglects to say what such talk pages are for (when their accompanying File pages do exist).
 * 2) I know talk pages in general exist for discussion of issues re development of the accompanying non-talk pages.
 * 3) The matter seems likely to be equally relevant to all articles using the image, not to just a subset of them.

So i'd feel pretty stupid if i blindly followed the instructions -- "try [instead] the talk page of an article that the image is used in ..." (i should guess which article using it is most likely to attract editors who are interested and informed? Or start discussions in a handful of places?), "... or contact the graphics lab" (tho i am the wrong person to justify, to graphics mavens, perceptions of needed changes based on my non-specialist's grasp -- no matter how however careful -- of the evolutionary subject matter) -- to post elsewhere.

On the other hand, i am limiting what i put here to noting the diagram's content presents issues, lest discussion get rolling here, and the talk page then be deleted; i'll encourage further discussion within a new supersection of the existing Talk:Punctuated equilibrium. Others may choose to add links to there, on talk pages of other articles that use the image. --Jerzy•t 06:21, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
