Merging cultural entomology and ethnoentomology

On second thoughts, I think your article would be best merged with the existing one on ethnoentomology. It seems to be the more common way to refer to studies of insects in human culture. I've opened a discussion on the ethnoentomology talk page about this. joe•roe^t•c 08:48, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joey Roe - Thanks for your insights and consideration. The topic of "ethnoentomology" or "cultural entomology" has been examined at many times (albeit in esoteric circles). The distinction was considered at the very inception of CE as a bona fide academic discipline back in 1984. Dr. Charles Hogue contributed much to the field of cultural entomology. His definitive work, entitled “Cultural Entomology,” was published in the 1987 Annual Review of Entomology. At its essence, ethnoentomology examines how people have USED insects (food, medicine, etc.) whereas CE explores the effects on the Humanities. As Hogue wrote in the 1987 A.R.E.:

Because the term “cultural” is narrowly defined, some aspects normally included in studies of human societies are excluded. Thus ethnoentomology, which is concerned with all forms of insect- human interactions in so-called primitive societies, is not synonymous with cultural entomology. For this reason, entomophagy as practiced to complete the regular diet of an Indian tribe is considered applied entomology and is not covered here; however, where entomophagy occurs for recreation or ceremonial reasons, it assumes a place in the subject of this paper. . . Ethnoentomology, i.e. applications of insect life in so-called primitive (traditional, aboriginal, or non-industrialized) societies may be regarded as a special branch of cultural entomology. It has taken its place alongside ethnobotany and as part of ethnozoology."

However, Joe, this article was written 25 years ago, and the field of CE has expanded. My entry will reflect the evolution. Essentially, the broadest possible definition allows for the broadest possible audience for this very important field of research. Best regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmetbrady (talk • contribs)

As I mentioned on the ethnoentomology talk page (it would be better to continue this discussion there so others can easily find it) I am certain that no modern anthropologist would accept a distinction between "so-called primitive" and other societies, and our article on ethnoentomology does not make that distinction in its scope. The common usage, which is how we decide what to call an article, seems to be to use "ethnoentomology" to refer to all studies of insects in human culture. Hogue's coining of "cultural entomology" seems to be a minority usage.

Can we agree at least, in light of Hogue's quote above, placing ethnoentomology as a branch of his cultural entomology (or these sources [1][2], that do it the other way around), that the two articles cover essentially the same subject? If so we can agree on a merge, it just leaves the question of what to call the resulting article. joe•roe^t•c 08:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to alert other editors

When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a red square followed by a long yellow box (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the red box notification on that users pages. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 07:00, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
