Table in Voluntarily Childless page

Hi Nerd271 - Thanks for your very helpful edits to the Voluntarily Childless page! I'm writing to ask about the table you recently added. While I think a table like this can be very helpful for clarifying the relevant terminology, I'm not sure the one you created necessarily matches how these terms are used in the scholarly literature. For example, I'm not sure what the row labeled "Yes (want a child), with regrets" means. You might consider replacing it with a version of Figure 2 from https://doi.org/10.1177/10664807231198869, which is also available with a CC-BY license from https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/fa89m_v1. Thanks! 217.180.219.253 (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello! That label just means that some people might want a child but regret having one or having to raise one. But I do agree that it can be confusing. Breaking one chart into two clears things up. Thank you for letting me know of that chart. The article has been updated. Nerd271 (talk) 14:40, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Great! And thanks again for all the work you’ve put into this article. 217.180.219.253 (talk) 21:52, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize and $300 top prize for most Science and Tech destubs and improvements. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:31, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the invitation! I have added my name to the list of participants. Best! Nerd271 (talk) 15:10, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
