What an excellent article. Many thanks to those responsible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.123.137 (talk) 10:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Fair enough, although WP:BIAS is shining through most of it—most notably in the pictures (which go from white to white to nonhuman to light-skinned Asian to light-skinned Arab/Somali to white to 19th-century neoimperial White diagram of the Ages of Man) but also in an extremely Amero/Eurocentric presentation of the entire topic, particularly the culture section that spans the gamut of humanity's thoughts on aging and immortality from (somewhat misattributed) Ancient Greece to the Hebrew Bible to Absolutely Nothing Else after 2 decades of work.
- And... yeah, fair enough. The English wiki can just be the Anglosphere wiki and people can go to the 中文.维基百科.org, etc. for the way others might understand ages and aging as something outside Christian-Lite postmodern late capitalism. At least America is more multicultural than this article lets on. Then again it's in British English, presumably for historical reasons. xD
- Can we at least fix the spelling to aging so the entire thing looks less misspelt? It's far more common in English as a whole and it's nearly caught up with ageing even in the British Isles, at least per the Ngram corpus. If it helps, we're theoretically using 'Oxford spelling' and it's The Oxford Book of Aging and not the Oxford Book of Ageing. (But, in all honesty, the OUP doesn't seem to pay much attention to the subject and uses ageing plenty of places elsewhere. Pretty notable title w/r/t the issue, though.) — LlywelynII 17:26, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- The reason why ageing was/is not a major topic in developing countries is because people mostly died of infectious disease such as cholera before they had the chance to become old. Furthermore, I suspect the prospect of early death increases the urge to reproduce to achieve immortality through offspring. In Africa the median age is 19, in Germany it is around 50. I would welcome your contribution on this subject, to diversify the article.2A00:23C6:54D3:DA01:C07F:B3B3:366F:D4A0 (talk) 10:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Please update with new 'Hallmarks of aging' paper and solve article scope overlaps edit
The authors of the hallmarks of aging have put out an update, please add info on/from it to the article. It's featured in 2023 in science like so:
In a paywalled review, the authors of a heavily cited paper on the hallmarks of aging update the set of proposed hallmarks after a decade (3 Jan).[1][2] On the same day, a review with overlapping authors merge or link various hallmarks of cancer with those of aging.[3][additional citation(s) needed]
It seems like some updates were already made on the longevitywiki but not here for some reason: https://en.longevitywiki.org/wiki/Hallmarks_of_aging
I already slightly edited the hallmarks of aging article.
Second issue: the article's scope overlaps with multiple other articles and some of its contents somewhat duplicate content elsewhere (/ may be outdated or incomplete).
Aging->Senescence↳Biomarkers of aging ↳Aging hallmarks ↳Life extension
What do you think about this? For now, I think the article is missing some contents and should link to the more detailed section with {{Further|}} wikilinks. There also is/was a merger proposal at Talk:Hallmarks of aging. Currently, the content is somewhat dispersed and not very well organized, in-sync, well-findable and complete.
I recently added some content to Senescence which also seem notable to briefly include here too and there probably is some additional missing content, mainly info Healthspan and Aging clocks/measurement in that article and content from Life extension#Strategies. At least for now I don't want to also update this article as well, please make some edits and/or comment.

- In future, please do not use Ageing or any other medical articles for coursework. It is irresponsible to have non-experts place medically misleading statements online. For example, I am removing the word "stroke" from the Introduction, as the (juvenile?) editor is evidently ignorant of the fact that stroke is a cardiovascular disease. There are many more such problems which have been introduced after each year's "coursework". We medics cannot fix things fast enough before the next mistakes are entered. Thank you for your understanding. 37.5.242.95 (talk) 10:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
