Talk:List of cycles

Early discussion
This seems a bit narrow - something a bit more comprehensive?/pthag

Oh - I don't usually - but that's a :).

 * Well, I just started links from Category schemes to blank List of processes, List of sequences, List of hierarchies, List of rankings, List of prioritizations pages if you want to outdo this one...You want to take a stab at it? :) [[User:Brettz9|Brettz9 (talk)]] 21:29, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No, I meant the ambition is rather too much than too little. I maintain the list of wave topics, for example - to which you might want to link. That's a substantial one in itself.

 * I know, I was joking too. Actually this list had been over at Cycles and I just moved it here.  It is intended, I think as a broad category though, and it is now a link on the main page (under alternative categorizations after time-related categorizations).  If time is a category, I thought why not cycles?  I think it's interesting to catch a bird's eye view of the different types of cycles (if not being used to hunt for information which might be found first through the topic page dealing with what type of cycle it is)...Anyhow...Got your list.  I added it, though feel free to move it, if you think it should be moved.  Thanks.  [[User:Brettz9|Brettz9 (talk)]] 22:52, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Irrelevant Links?
I'm unsure what some of the links are there for, especially Consciousness, Education in the People's Republic of China, Video game and lots of other things that, while being related to cycles, are not actually cycles. Pthag 19:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I totally agree, I've done some minor trimming (and a section rearrange), but I'd welcome help with further checking & trimming of non-cycle/wave related links (and addition of valid links). I'd guess the original was created partially from a text-search for "cycle" and "wave", as that's the only apparant connection with some of those links. --Quiddity 08:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that the above mentioned items should be removed. Please feel free to do so. Ray Tomes 05:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Immigration cycles
What about immigration cycles? For instance, America has dealt with immigration about every 20 years for a while...2006-07 (STRIVE Act), 1986 (Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986), 1965 (1965 Immigration Act), 1945 (post-WWII), 1924 (Immigration Act of 1924), 1905-07 (Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907), and so forth. --172.148.40.130 09:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

People
People are not cycles, per se. Although all people go through cycles, a link to life cycle (and human body subcycles like organ replacement, digestion, etc) is sufficient. &mdash;Eekerz (t) 00:23, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Elephantic Wave
Any idea what this is supposed to refer to? A giant wave? A sound made by elephants?
