message: I am not a psychologist, just an educated person.  I did not find the article too technical to understand.  If you want to see 'too technical', take a look at the article on adrenaline...
I do not feel like I have enough editing experience to go ahead and remove the 'too technical' header, but I feel strongly that it doesn't need to be there -- at least, with the article in its current form.Star-lists (talk) 16:55, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I have updated this page to comply with the Manual of Style on disambiguation pages.  Unfortunately, to do so, I had to remove some content present in the prior version.  Disambiguation pages are navigational aids, not articles, and should contain no content not found in the articles referred to.  Since Dungeons and Dragons, Red Dwarf, Anne McCaffrey, Theodore Sturgeon, and Transformers do not make any reference to "gestalt", I have removed the entries here.  If you think these references are important, I'd invite you to add the information about gestalt to the other articles and relink them here. --TreyHarris 09:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the reference to gestalt as a fan-coined concept in Transformers (toyline).  The word "gestalt" does not appear in any of the pages referenced.  Disambiguation pages should not introduce any information not found in the article referenced; they are for navigation, not reference. --TreyHarris 04:55, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Ficus links here, but none of the disambig links fits the sense of the word used in that article.  Should there be another article or section of this one on the sense of 'gestalt' used in biology? --Jim Henry (talk) 13:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have heard gestalt to mean group mind in Star Trek for the Borg. As in this article: Seven_of_Nine
And, lots of times Marvel Comics uses it to describe people who combine powers... The best example of Gestalt Power in
the Marvel Universe was the Beaubier twins, Aurora and Northstar, who could generate light when they touched.  But also the New Universe Group called Psi-Forcecreated a "Gestalt" ghost of their mentor... The power they use is documented in the book the Ultimate Powers Book by David E. Martin which was sanctioned by TSR and Marvel Comics here -> Marvel Super Heroes (role-playing game).  
So, maybe that's I've heard this word "gestalt" to mean things like the Captain Planet summons and the Transformers combining...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youbetterwork (talk • contribs) 16:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

:An article on that topic was recently deleted: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gestalt (Mac OS).  Gestalt is a disambiguation page which lists articles where Wikipedia describes topics called Gestalt, rather than being a dictionary of all meanings.  Certes (talk) 20:15, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
