More on Anthere. Sigh, It just keeps getting worse. She has now made a comment on a Talk page, rebutting a position she thinks I have. The problem is, I don't have the position that she attributes to me.
Do you see why I keep saying that this is the *English* Wikipedia?
Anthere bizarrely writes "RK, you just can't remove this page. Gaia Theory was originally proposed as The Gaia Hypothesis by James Lovelock in 1972. Please check your references. It was found in Gaia: a new look at life on earth. It just is not the same thing that the Gaia theory proposed later."
This is just insane. (A) I never claimed that post-Lovelock ideas of gaia are the same as his 1972 hypothesis. In fact, I repeatedly wrote the exact opposite! (B) English speakers DO NOT use the bizarre terminology that Anthere uses. She uses the title of Lovelock's book (gaia hypothesis) as the name for his version of the theory, and the nam "Gaia theory" for Margulis's version. The problem is that most English speaking scientists DO NOT use this terminology.
Most English speakers use the names "Gaia theory" and "Gaia hypothesis" interchangably. They do make a distinction between Lovelock's Gaia theory and Margulis's Gaia theory, but not with the terminology she uses.
Further, we *already* have an article on this subject [[Gaia theory (biology)]] that discusses both points of view in detail. Yet Anthere keeps insisting that we have THREE articles on this same topic, in the same detail. One on [[Gaia theory (biology)]], one on [[Gaia theory]] and on [[Gaia hypothesis]]. No English speaking scientists use this terminology.
Look, we already went through this once before, and now I am asking Wikipedai Sysops to talk to her. If she can't follow English speaking conventions, then she should not be here at all. Let her work on Wikipedia-French, or any other forum.
But I am sick of her confusion...or trolling.
