Talk:Copulation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mating inlcudes the key phrase "also to raise their offspring." Copulation has nothing to do with that. Two separate pages required.--Richardb43 12:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect to Sexual intercourse

I'm changing this redirect target from Mating to Sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse seems more appropriate. For example, the Merriam-Webster dictionary entry for copulation is simply:

• to engage in sexual intercourse

It's true that the same dictionary lists, for mate, copulate, as a synomym. However, that suggests that Mating might require a hatnote directing readers to Sexual intercourse. It does not suggest that redirecting copulation to Mating is preferred over Sexual intercourse. --Noca2plus (talk) 17:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
