Anyone edit
Anyone wanna take a crack at wikifying this? ka1iban 18:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Done. I've left the quotes for now, as they are a useful start, though they should really be replaced by material from Darwin's writings. --Memestream 11:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to start working on improving the history and perception aspects of this page. Some contemporary sources I've found: https://search.proquest.com/docview/2459420/BB5E80695E414C2APQ/8 https://search.proquest.com/docview/1301509887/BB5E80695E414C2APQ/18 https://search.proquest.com/docview/1294646753/BB5E80695E414C2APQ/17 Anyone here?

- Xavier.bower, not really, nobody has done much to this since 2007. I've tidied it up, but there is a large overlap with Pangenesis which isn't really acceptable (see WP:FORK). If we were really going to stick to talking only about gemmules there'd not be a lot to say; adding any explanation and context will overlap more and more with Pangenesis. I think a merge would be the right answer, so we have one decent article with context, theory, and properly attributed quotations. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- Chiswick Chap, I agree that a merge makes the most sense, especially since the pangenesis page could use better organization and more content as well. I am researching and writing on this for a class project so I'm fully willing to put in the time and effort. It seems like most of the content of this page could be wikified and used to supplement the 'Theory' section of the Pangenesis page. Do you think this is a good way to merge? I will of course discuss this on the Pangenesis page before I change anything major. Xavier.bower (talk) 19:08, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- It's roughly what I envisage, yes. As usual, the devil will be in the detail. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:47, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
