Talk:Polarization

message: I removed Polarization of cells from the list. That doesn't seem like a good title for an article. Was the intent for an article on electrostatic polarization of biological cells? If so, is Polarization density sufficient, or is there a need for a specialized article? If the latter, a better title might be one of Polarization (biology), Polarization (cells), or Cell polarization.--Srleffler 16:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes the title is probably imperfect. I searched for a link to an article about polarity of cells and found nothing, and I think if such exists, it should be referred to by this ambiguity page.  Some expert in biology should name it probably. A link also exist in article Asymmetric cell division named Cell polarity. Also cell poles is mentioned in Polar membrane. --Sohale 17:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me add some more ways that biology has embraced the use of terms of polarity. The common developmental terms Vegetal pole and Animal pole are applied to zygotes, a well-known aspect of Asymmetric cell division, although not mentioned yet in that article. The article on mitosis uses the concept of mitotic poles freely. Epithelium exhibits "apical-basolateral polarity", and thus the concepts apical pole and basal pole. Discussions of Membrane potential will talk about Depolarization, which, aha, has its own disambiguation page, Depolarization (disambiguation). I think that page needs to be included in the general scope of this discussion. I think all these concepts mixed together really are a problem for a beginner to sort out; this is something we can help with. --AJim (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Polarization of cells

message: Note that links to this page still need to be corrected. It is not acceptable to move an article to make room for a dab page, and leave links that formerly pointed to the article pointing at the dab page. Every link to this page needs to be checked and adjusted to point to the correct article. I presume the proponent of this move and those who supported it will take care of this.--Srleffler (talk) 23:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's basically done. It's not completely done, but it's better than it ever was: Before, there were links going to [wave] polarization though actually dielectric or social polarization was meant, which is definitely worse than a few links going to a dab page. -- Marie Poise (talk) 13:14, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for taking care of that. I agree: a few bad links are OK, and links to a dab page are better than links to the wrong article.--Srleffler (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth, the disambiguation page now has accumulated 50 incoming links. 69.3.72.249 (talk) 23:19, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Move not complete

message: In November 2009 Polarization (disambiguation) had 1672 page views and Polarization had 58017.  The ratio was 1672/58017 or 2.9%.  In December 2009 the article at Polarization was moved to Polarization (waves) and replaced by the disambiguation page.  In December 2009, as all the incoming links to Polarization were fixed, page views on Polarization (waves) climbed from 0 to many hundreds per day.  In 2010 so far Polarization (waves) has averaged 20455 page views per month.  So, roughly 60% of the page views on Polarization before the move were in error.  69.3.72.249 (talk) 23:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  After the move 

message: This is a general concept in electrochemistry although in older literature the nature of it was probably poorly understood. In this list only the stub article "polarisation (corrosion)" refers to this, but it would be better to have a more general, electrochemical, article on this subject. It should be noted that the removed subject "Polarisation of cells" might be interpreted as "Polarisation of electrochemical cells" (i.e. batteries or electrolysis cells), another, but wider, electrochemical subtopic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.227.15.253 (talk) 10:29, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved the stub article to Polarization (electrochemistry) and updated the link here. Thanks for the suggestion!--Srleffler (talk) 05:38, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
