Headings and their arrangement

[edit]

An editor is repeatedly changing this article's headings and their arrangement in a way that does not correspond with their meaning and logical relationships. Thus, the 'Health concerns' relate only (in real life) to beans being eaten, so the logical order is use/eating, followed by health/toxicity/poisoning. If WP:Plants has a local standard that proposes another order, that's up to it, but given that this is arguably primarily a WP:Agriculture article (and all the cultivars are edible...) then perhaps their standard is not specially applicable here. At any rate, the matter should be resolved on the basis of logic and discussion.

Much the same applies to section naming; the in-society chapter can't be named 'In culture' because the article is about a cultivated seed, and 'culture' could reasonably mean agriculture, horticulture, or tissue culture. Further, since we already have a chapter 'Uses', calling it 'Human uses' or anything of that sort won't work. The heading 'In human society' is carefully chosen to navigate this challenge, and recklessly changing it without discussion (let alone consensus) is simply unhelpful, even disruptive.

A third thing that is being made wrong is the shoving of one (sub)section into another, creating the unbalanced structure like

3 'Chapter'
3.1 'Orphaned section'
4 'Next chapter'

Obviously that is no good, we should not have a chapter for just one section. For all these reasons, it'd be appreciated if the article's structure could be left alone, or at least discussed before any further changes are made. Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
