I'm trying to restructure (without removing anything) as I don't think its necessary to make comparisons between Earth and Mars here when everyone knows that Mars is not an Earth Analog. But these constructive edits keep getting knocked back as typical by that negative force which is the Wikipedia police. I actually wrote this stuff initially but it makes more sense in the context of new discoveries to make comparisons in specific sections rather than one or two case studies from the Solar System. If noone objects then I'll assume that I have a mandate to continue with this edit. -- EvenGreenerFish ( talk) 11:16, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Why does Wikipedia need to invent new, more complicated terms for so many articles than what is actually being used? In this case, the overwhelmingly used word is "earth-like planet". I never ever encountered the word "Earth analog" outside Wikipedia. And here's some proof for that: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22earth-like%20planet%22%2C%20%22earth%20analog%22&cmpt=q https://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22earth+analog%22&oq=%22earth+analog%22&gs_l=hp.3..0l4.425.1980.0.2104.14.8.0.0.0.0.536.1503.4-1j2.3.0.les%3Bcfrsh..0.0...1.1.dzud5QjqV5Y&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=73a2df482f71c0a7&bpcl=35466521&biw=1280&bih=606 app. 50,000 results https://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22earth-like+planet%22&oq=%22earth-like+planet%22&gs_l=hp.3...12304.13769.1.13854.12.10.0.0.0.5.482.2294.4-5.5.0.les%3Bcfrsh..0.0...1.1.Sj6S2Xo_o6s&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=73a2df482f71c0a7&bpcl=35466521&biw=1280&bih=606 app. 2.5 million (!) results So let's go with what it is actually called and not some obscure neologism. -- Bluebird47 ( talk) 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)--

The portion in the introduction regarding colonization needs to be deleted. It does not summarize anything from the body of the article and it also happens to be fringe because of the vast distances involved: "Astrophysicist Who Just Won The Nobel Prize Says We'll Never Colonise Exoplanets." The terraforming section needs a re-write, as it suggests it is possible, when in fact it is a very unlikely hypothesis. Anybody opposed to these two changes?

I don't think this article needs a see also section. Also, it seems that some boosters of the much maligned ESI seem content to try to shoehorn it into this article. I don't think that's appropriate at all. jps ( talk) 01:32, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
Because ESI is not being used in the literature which works a lot on Earth analog. I'm definitely here to improve the encyclopedia. My students who write reports on things related to exoplanets sometimes reference ESI, but, you'll note, the best literature on the subject has no mention of it whatsoever. If you would like to point us to the best paper on Earth analogs in the last three years that references ESI, I'd be happy to consider some new reliable sources on the subject. jps ( talk) 10:54, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

The numbers of galaxies in the visible universe and earth-like planets estimated in the Milky Way are way obsolete. Those estimates increase nearly every year, and the ones listed here are from 2011. Sti11w4ter ( talk) 14:55, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
