Arthropodology
Hello. The article you wrote, Arthropodology, besides being a dictionary definition of the word, says nothing about the field other than what is says about arthropods, about which there is already an article, and a mention of arbitrary places where someone who works in the field might be employed, which is trivial, and is also about arthropodologists, not about arthropodology. That is why I redirected the article. Wikipedia guidelines disapprove of forks&#8212;redundant articles covering material already covered elsewhere.

If you feel you can justify the existence of this separate article, please let me know here. Otherwise I will change it back to a redirection. Thanks. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:24, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
