A beautiful case of navbox creep, a template that got out of hand completely. So this is a navbox about "Earth", and people thought it suitable to link things like

Well I disagree. The template as it stood was something of a consensus. Yes, creation myths, Earth day and world maps are entirely appropriate topics for this NavBox. Check the Earth article and it's sub-articles: it covers cartography, religious beliefs and other cultural aspects.—RJH (talk) 15:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the fringe theories due to
WP:ONEWAY and removed the religious/Gaia references since it doesn't belong in a predominantly scientific nav box, Second Quantization (talk) 18:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply

Please split "Imaging" in "Crowdsourced" (or "with active community") from traditional (Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps)

Alphabetical ordering of rows + new links

Yreuq reordered the rows of this navbox to be alphabetical. I have a mild preference for the old ordering (which is roughly by importance). Several new links were also added to the navbox.

What do other editors think of the latest version? Will leave notice at
