message: This is not a disambiguation page as such things are defined (Wikipedia:Disambiguation and related pages).  This is more a full-blown article, albeit one in a quasi-list format.  Thus, I'm removing the disambiguation template. Courtland 02:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Some person called "Taxidermy sunset" left me some kind of insulting message- and now I can't find their userpage because they obviously redirected it to the "Abandonment" article for whatever reason- please tell me if I can possibly fix this. --Onondagan opossum 10:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: On 20 September, Coolcaesar deleted my edits of this article, explaining: “Reverting edits in clear violation of official policy Wikipedia: Wikipedia is not a dictionary (or a thesaurus or usage guide), please go to Wiktionary”. Here is my reply:
	Thanks for your guidance. I have revised my edits accordingly, eliminating all non-legal definitions while maintaining improvements in the original. These changes do the following:
*1.	Revises the cover paragraph to make it clear that the article deals only with legal and quasi-legal uses (with other meanings to be sought in Wiktionary).
*2.	Deletes the images, as they all pertain to non-legal uses.
*3.	Amplifies the general legal definition of “abandonment”, and inserts a link to “waiver”.
*4.	Adds a mention of “taciturnity” in Scots law.
*5.	Adds brief references to “dereliction”, “derelict”, “abandonee”, “relinquishment”, “res nullius” and “squatting”, with links where they exist. As these are all legal terms directly related to abandonment, they seem appropriate to this article.
*6.	 Adds a sentence defining “abandonment” to an insurer, a reference and link to “constructive total loss”, and an additional definition relating to carriage of goods.
*7.	“Abandonment of trademark” is moved up to follow copyright and a paragraph on patents is added, bringing the three paragraphs on intellectual property protection together. 
*8.	A sentence is added to cover abandonment in transport regulation, preceding the existing sentence on English practice.
*9.	A link to “dereliction of duty” is added to the paragraph on military law.
*10.	Sentences on “desertion” and “malicious abandonment” are inserted preceding the existing sentence on child abandonment, to which is added the terms “exposure” and “exposition”.
*11.	The paragraph on “abandonment of an easement” is given greater precision.
*12.    Reorders paragraphs to group paragraphs related to property at the top of the article.
*13.    Removes headings, as the article now deals only with legal aspects.
There is one point on which I would appreciate help. The paragraph on “abandonment of an action” deals solely with practices in the United Kingdom. Can something be added to make this more universal, like the sentence on transport regulation?--Fbarw 00:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

*Support. Psychological abandonment is at least as strong a topic to refer to as the legal topics. bd2412 T 05:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
