Howdy! stages of decomposition have been merged to Decomposition. Thank you for your advice. Hope you all enjoy the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heartbreaker5785 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this should be merged into the decomposition page. This subject, while important, is really only a subset of the decomposition category and really does not justify its own page. Merging takes nothing away from the information, it only places it where it needs to be. Colstewart71639 (talk) 03:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I like this topic because people don't really know about much after a body starts decomposition. If its possible, maybe link to some websites which contain pictures of the different stages if getting pictures is too hard. Also in the dry decay section, you can make the insect list more formal by just stating the family names, ex: change to Dermestidae. We are doing Dermestidae and more than that species appears in dry stages. Thanks. Mikeaq (talk) 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Changes
Ok, I changed some of the syntax and wording of the article, which carried over to the merged page. I think it reads a little smoother now. --Tipitow88 (talk) 04:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys--I haven't seen any effort to make required changes to this page in several days. You've also gotten a suggestion to merge this into the general decomposition article...are you considering it? ABrundage, Texas A&amp;M University (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a reference section at the bottom, nothing is referenced in the body of the article. Add in the references using superscript and links. 128.194.243.102 (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a suggestion, but if you're going to talk about the different number of seres in a buried corpse vs. a an exposed corpse should you include who came up with this idea and be more specific about the days, years, etc. for the duration of decomposition. Jbratz (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, do you really think people would want to take the time to read a case study, since that makes it really long and hard to read?Jbratz (talk) 22:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

We included the case study to could provide readers with the general knowledge of how the stages of decomposition play a huge role in forensic entomology. One's knowledge of the stages of decomposition wouldn't be that helpful if they weren't related to an actual case study. Lindseyjean11 (talk) 16:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
