replies: text: I suggest you read Wikipedia:Naming conventions. There is no primary topic for stone: no one article which stands out above the rest. Stone can mean rock, which is why this is listed on the disambiguation page, but it can mean plenty of other things as well. Putting a page at "Whatever (disambiguation)" is only used when there is a clear primary topic, in which case you put a note at the top of the primary topic saying for other meanings see the disambiguation page. Are you suggesting that we redirect this to rock (geology), which isn't even a primary topic itself, and then put a note at the top explaining that "stone", which isn't even the title of the article, can refer to other things, for which see stone (disambiguation), which might as well have been at stone in the first place. If this sounds complicated it's because it is. The situation at the moment is fine and is in accordance with all the other disambiguations on Wikipedia. — Trilobite (Talk) 14:32, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Taboo in American English? 

message: Yes, I also ask that an ask that an assertion like this be accompanied by evidence.  I've always considered the explosion of the term into various synonyms to be a 'disambiguation', of sorts.  Most taboo words in a timeframe as short as that of the history of American English would still carry some negative weight to them even after losing the taboo status.  This isn't remotely the case with the word 'stone' as used in America (except perhaps the use of the word 'stones' to refer to testicles, but that seems to be an unlikely reason to taboo every sense of the word).--Drew 23:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was coming here to ask the very same question and, since no response has been given in the many months since the asking, I'm going to remove the reference.  I can't imagine for the life of me why and when "stone" would have been taboo in American English, and a Google search turned up no evidence of such a thing.  Moncrief 05:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe we should throw Dr. Stone and the Rolling Stones out. I’ve never heard Dr. Stone simply referred to as stone and while the band is often known as The Stones I am not aware of them being simply known as stones. In other world I doubt that someone looking up the anime or band would be using these specific search terms.--70.24.251.91 (talk) 04:24, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
