Talk:Lists of ecoregions

Talk:List of ecoregions redirect
List of ecoregions appropriately redirects here; but its talk page redirects to List of ecoregions (WWF), which I don't think is appropriate; not sure how to change that.Skookum1 (talk) 04:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Good catch, Skookum. We need admin help. I'll ask Pete. Northwesterner1 (talk) 23:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Though, it actually doesn't take any fancy admin buttons. Here's a little trick: when a page redirects you somewhere, look immediately under the page title. It will say "redirected from xxxx". Click on "xxxx" and that will take you to the redirect page (WITHOUT redirecting you back away from it.) Then you can click "edit" and do what you need to. Hope this helps! -Pete (talk) 01:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried that but it wouldn't let me do it... maybe I got it wrong... thanks. Northwesterner1 (talk) 05:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

EPA and CEC
I'm beginning to gather that these are the same, no? The only distinction being that those in the US are dabbed as EPA instead of CEC; "CEC" I've been using to dab series/categories of articles list Category:Ecozones of Canada - which presumably/preferably should be Category:Ecozones in Canada (CEC) so as to distinguish from WWF Ecozones; I've noticed categories like Category:Nearctic which are not self-explanatory, i.e. Category:Nearctic (ecozone) and if that's from a paritcularly system it should be Category:Nearctic (WWF ecozone). The article dabs were necessary because in many cases the ecozone/ecoregion title was confusingly like a terrain/physiographic article/area e.g. Boreal Cordillera is an ecozone covering the Muskwa Ranges of the northern Canadian Rockies and the Cassiar Mountains and Omineca Mountains and also the Selwyns and Mackenzies; so I changed it to Boreal Cordillera Ecozone (CEC); Arctic Cordillera is a topographic system different in shape/meaning than the correspondingly-named ecozone, and that article currently is about both (and shouldn't be). But what I'm wondering, other than all that, is if/when an ecozone or ecoregion is bisected by the border what to do about the dab; some cross-border ecoregion articles might already be written from "stateside", some might have been put together from the Canadian side, maybe the Mexican too....I guess what I'm getting at is the idea that maybe List of ecoregions in the United States (EPA) should have "CEC" as a dab, or certainly at least any connected categories should be....it's something like the use of "Native American" for Canadian First Nations peoples/aboriginal peoples or Mexican indigenos, the choice of terminology delimited by the border. There is no List of ecoregions in Canada (CEC yet; presumably Lists of ecoregions by country, the WWF listing, may have a subpage but more likely a Canadian subsectino; and that article should have a WWF dab - List of WWF ecoregions by country ditto Category:Ecoregions by country, if it exists, should be Category:WWF ecoregions by country and suggests Category:CEC ecoregions by country...of which Category:Ecoregions in the United States (EPA)......summarizing my question, is the "EPA" usage so entrenched within the US perspective that "CEC" would look abnormal as a replacement, and what to do about titles for cross-border ecoregions; in fact, do we have examples of such cross-border ecoregion articles? Or might there be parallel CEC and EPA articles for the same ecoregion (implying a merger, but with which dab?).Skookum1 (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
