Talk:John William Salter

Excessive article detail
Unless there is significant objection, I propose that the taxa sections be either heavily trimmed of the details that are not relevant to John William Salter (type locality, synonym and homonym names, detailed history of citations), or deleted fully.-- Kev min  § 21:16, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. There is far too much intricate and excessive detail throughout; even professional taxonomists would not expect to find this much detail in an encyclopedia article. In fact, the entire bloated "Fossils named in honour of John William Salter" section should be drastically cut and/or transferred to Wikispecies. These rather trivial aspects are granted far too much weight per WP:PROPORTION, WP:DUEWEIGHT (and good taste).--Animalparty! (talk) 23:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Addendum: Another page where this issue was raised was Henry Hicks (geologist), with an attempt at discussion started at talk:Henry Hicks (geologist), however did not engage in dialog there, while additions to Gryphaea arcuata have been revdeved as copyright violations.-- Kev  min  § 03:34, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
