Copyright issues

The first sentence of the article is copy/pasted from this source and the "Risk of collapse" section close paraphrases the same source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That document is under "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)", I thought it was Ok. Anyway, I changed both sections to avoid any problems. --Jrfep (talk) 12:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put: not only is ecological collapse a small, Start-class article, but more importantly, this term is not used in any of the WP:RS cited, all of which simply refer to ecosystem collapse (if they refer to a collapse in the first place). The only inline citation which appears to use this term is a 2012 article from a website called "TreeHugger", which is clearly not considered a reliable source. Neither the original study, nor a contemporary BBC article about it actually use this wording. Without it, all of the content can be easily merged into this article.

Support - the proposal to merge makes sense to me. EMsmile (talk) 08:13, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
