Talk:Coffee in the global economy

Split Environment

The "Coffee and the Environment" section should be split off into its own page. There is enough information about a wide range of cultivation techniques, as well as related issues (organic, sun vs. shade, "bird-friendly", solid waste from bean processing plants vs. composting of bean husks, etc.) that merit its own page. It shouldn't need a disambig page, but I don't know how to do the "split" tag without that. Fredwerner 23:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For sure, do it. Just be careful to remain NPOV--as it seems you are, understandably, coming at this from a certain perspective, and this is coming across in your writing. Make sure all the content you add meets scrupulous verifiability standards and you should be fine. And you really don't need to bother with a "split" tag, either. Just create a new stub article and link to it from the main Coffee article. Then add some sources to the rest of the content here, merge it into the Economics of coffee article, and delete this one (which is redundant in light of the other two), and you're all set.--Margareta 01:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

Sure, merge this into the Economics of coffee article, which needs more content anyway (but I'd disagree with merging the other way 'round). But first, the text on this page badly needs sources. See WP:CITET and WP:FOOTNOTE on how to get your notes into the page correctly. Not that Economics of coffee has any sources, either, but why compound the problem?--Margareta 01:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
