biology versus cell biology?[edit]

This article was moved from fragmentation (biology) to fragmentation (cell biology). However, many fragmentation processes involve whole organs (e.g. plant stems or leaves) or specialized structures (e.g. gemmae in marchantiophyta) that are much more than just cells. Should it be moved to fragmentation (reproduction) for better accuracy? Apparently the article was renamed to disambiguate it from habitat fragmentation, but that article already exists as a separate article. The former title fragmentation (biology) now redirects here instead of being a disambiguation page, therefore currently serving no purpose. I would suggest to simplify it by moving the page back to where it was. It already contains a disambiguation link for habitat fragmentation at the top of this page, so I don't see the problem. - tameeria 15:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was to restore the original page title. Dekimasu よ! 06:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fragmentation (cell biology) → Fragmentation (biology) — This page was moved recently while it was truncated as a result of vandalism and consequently the new name does not accurately describe the page content. It is much broader than "cell biology" as it includes fragmentation by shedding of body segments or whole organisms (e.g. plantlets). The original move was done to disambiguate from Habitat fragmentation, but there is already a dab link at the top of the page and the original page title now simply redirects to the new title. tameeria 16:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the original move was the product of vandalism (though not vandalism itself) and there was no outside input on the issue for several days, I have moved the page back to the original title. The note at the top of the page should be sufficient to distinguish this article from Habitat fragmentation, and even after the original move was performed, Fragmentation (biology) was kept as a redirect to Fragmentation (cell biology) — that is, no action other than the move itself was ever really taken to disambiguate. I don't think "habitat fragmentation" is ever called simply "fragmentation". Hope this will suffice. Dekimasu よ! 06:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opening paragraph[edit]

Opening paragraphs are typically newbie-friendly blocks of text that introduce the basic idea or give some background. It starts out nice but quickly turns into a train wreck that barely makes sense, even if you can follow what's going on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C28:194:520:5E26:AFF:FEFE:8DBC (talk) 03:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"intentional" fragmentation[edit]

Really, are we going "down" to the level of philosophy begging for questions of "free will" over reproduction? weekeepeer (talk) 23:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disadvantages of fragmentation[edit]

Few species undergo fragmentation and very few variation is produced. Shreyom (talk) 13:47, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
