thread_title: Conclusions

message: Can someone please explain what the opening sentence means by "two spiders called Arabella and Anita, two females of the cross variety". In particular, what are they a cross of? Thank you 147.70.153.227 16:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cross spider redirects to European garden spider, so perhaps that's the answer, rather than hybridised spiders. Or perhaps they were annoyed about being in space. Totnesmartin 17:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Elaborate 

message: I think this most recent push for this article to be merged is nonsense. This article got a DYK, and I received a barnstar for it. It would not even it properly into the spiders article anyway! No, this is stupid, i wholeheartedly must disagree! ♣ ÅñôñÿMôús  Dîššíd3nt 10:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Serprex here. Is the merge forgotten, or has anyone anything else to say? It's a two against 1 situation, does this mean the merge is cancelled? Blast, isn here anything you want to say? Is there anything else need be done before the merge tag be removed. I'm rather tired of it marring the article. ♣ ÅñôñÿMôús  Dîššíd3nt 00:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also strongly oppose merging to Spider; it would be far too much detail in an article that's already getting long.  Even the "see also" link there is probably unnecessary.  I would suggest, instead, including a couple of sentences about this experiment in Spider web (perhaps next to the discussion of drug effects), with a link to this article. —Celithemis 00:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm not seeing much reason to merge too. There's a lot of information that couldn't really be satisfactorily covered in Spider. bibliomaniac15 01:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've tentatively implemented this apparent concensus. FWIW, I support the idea of a link from Spider web. Sdsds 02:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Per this suggestion I have attempted a reasonable edit to the spider web article, which links here. Hopefully, in addition to improving that article, the link will bring in additional editorial contributions to this one! Sdsds 23:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think just a "see also" would do the trick. bibliomaniac15 00:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: If there are no objections in the next week or so, im going to merge this article into spider webs. It seems a more appropriate place for it. Matt (talk) 07:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This was discussed and rejected last time. Do not perform this merge, o, if you would like to suggest it, do not put a deadline on it. There isn't gong to be any objection in a week - because this is an almost unknown article. Spider is an already clogged article, and this is a topic big enough to have its own article. Unless you can back your rationale up with proper and applicable policy, your merge will be out of line and may be undone. I therefore advise against merging until there is support for it, rather than after a week. Cheers, -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Cite the policy then. This article is almost bigger than the entire spider webs article now. Leave it as it is, I say. It does not need additional exposure. It needs its own article. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

text: You have misquoted policy there; Wikipedia is indeed not a dictionary, but this article is not a dictionary definition, so your quotation is out of context. This article is on a topic that discusses spider webs, in space. It deserves its own article because there is enough material here to warrant it. A merge into the spider webs article would be just counter-productive. For instance, someone could request a merge from spider webs to just the article on spiders; but as we both know, the spider webs article requires its own article due to the size of the topic. The same applies here. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
