The table that lists plants and their effect on deterrence of particular insects is interesting for the discussion of organic agriculture in general, but I don't think that it should be included on this page, which is specifically for those plants which attract predatory insects. Because the plants listed are deterrents for certain pest insects and not attractants for certain beneficial insects, I propose to remove this section and place it somewhere else. But I can't really find another place to move it to other than the general
organic farming page, where it could be lost in that sea of information.

At first, I did not understand what you were saying or proposed. I believe I do now.
I wrote the article, in fact, to get more people in on the subject. I understand now the contradiction. If you can get me the right phrase, or set of key words, then I will create a new article for the table. We can then start to interlink article.. But first step first. Do you think a new article could be accomplished?

I have since been wondering if a better solution would be to include this table in the article on
companion planting, and then create a link there to this page. It seems to me that an article on insectary plants is a subset of companion planting, so perhaps a short blurb about it in addition to the link on that page would be beneficial, as it were.

I just scanned the article you mentioned, it looks great. Some visual aspects could be better, but that is a minor issue. Please feel free to move the table and I will see about getting a new table to replace it.
I should also note that this article is my hobby article. In addition, I work with computers, but that is only for extra money (now). My money job is working in a grocery store as a meat clerk. From this my largest article, in progress, is
Talk:Salmon, but I am also working on local history. As such this article does not get my full attention. Only as I find information, do I add this. That said, I am still willing to assist you in anyway I can given time constraints.

I note also some of the article you've pointed to (interlinks) need improvement in style, grammer, puncutations, etc. I will work on them as I can, such that the entire section is of some quality.

Yes, thanks. I had made a note to recover that table. I even wrote to that person that worked on that 'list'. It seemed careless what they did, but I'm glad the table will be of some use to someone. On that table I should note, as it is one of many items I have release copyright to wikipedia - it will eventually get a permanent link to it's origin page. (which is what I am doing at the moment). Thanks again. --
