Talk:Secateurs

message: Are these really the same thing.  I have done vine removal and used some diffrent tools. The Loppers I've seen are too big for your hand.  and the little things i call Pruning Shears are probaly the same as hand pruners. Make we can give each a sub section in the artilce becose a whole artile for each may be overkill--E-Bod 21:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had to look up secateurs in the dictionary.  According to Merriam-Webster, secateurs is chiefly British.  Here in the U.S., I always called them loppers.  I guess the most notable difference between secateurs/hand pruners and loppers is the length of the handle (?).  I think subsections, or an intro explaining the difference between the terms is a good idea.  GilliamJF 05:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Secateurs, hand pruners, and loppers  

message: I suggest we merge the material on this page into the recent Pruning shears article, rearranging to make clear the different terms used in different countries. Comments, all? JackyR | Talk 17:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed page merge 

message: Deciding what to do about the meanings of words in different forms of English is a problem. In the UK secateurs (from the French secateur,   cutter) is always used to describe the short-handled prunners used for cutting flowers, rose-heads etc. I therefore think it would be better to keep the entry on secateurs with a cross-link than to merge it with sheares. Willow4.
:Well, apparently the Yanks call all secateurs loppers (per discussion above – I'm Brit, I wouldn't know), for additional confusion. So the suggestion was actually to avoid getting into a knot on that term. My thought was to go for as neutral and widely comprehensible a title as poss, with redirects from local meanings (I'm waiting on an Aussie landscape gardener for their name. Will also chk SAfrica.) 
: Pruning shears does seem to be a common term for what in Britain for what I've always known as secateurs: take a look on eBay, for eg. But perhaps, to avoid even more confusion, Hand pruners would be a better choice, with as you say a lk from Pruning shears.
:So a first attempt at the article might go something like:
::===[Article name something like:] HAND PRUNERS===
::Hand pruners, also called pruning shears, secateurs (UK) or  loppers (US) are a type of scissors for use with plants... [etc]
::===Long-handled pruners===
::In the UK these are called loppers. These are operated with two hands...
:What do think about all this? JackyR | Talk 14:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: On the other hand, I may have misunderstood what the article is saying.  Were the game's creators (David Matuszek, Paul Reynolds, and Don Smith) at UT?  Or was the game just based on another game that was created at UT?  If it is the former, then I think this article definitely should be part of the UT WikiProject, since the goal of the Project includes discoveries and inventions by people at UT.  If it is the latter, then just being based on an earlier game that was invented at UT may be too weak a link.  Johntex\talk 18:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

:All ECG channels are Canadian.  They are CRTC-licensed Category 2 digital channels.  They feature programming from the foreign service that the channel is named after.  I assume that ECG named them like this perhaps so people are tricked into believing they are the 'real thing', so as to get people to subscribe.  Unfortunately they are not, they have CDN content.

In the U.S. there are more channels for each of those sections (Men, Women, Gay & Lesbian) so it looks better but here there is only one for each section and it didn't look good.

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.

thread_title: Survey - Oppose votes

message: The naming convention regarding English does not require that we eliminate French orthography in all cases — it requires only that we use a title that English speakers would recognize and use. As the last move debate indicated, there are a variety of ways that the name of this community is spelled in English; none of them can be singled out as the standard name in English. In such cases, both Wikipedia naming conventions and official Canadian practice favour the use of the official name of the location in its original language. 
Accordingly, I have moved the article back to Saint-Léonard, Quebec, and would strongly urge that if someone wants to start yet another debate about moving it, you come up with a better and more compelling reason than we've seen so far. The linguistic politics of life in Montreal (which I suspect have been the real motivator here both times) are not an acceptable reason for overriding conventions or consensus in an NPOV encyclopedia.
