Talk:Vertigo (disambiguation)

message: I added a reference to Tower 42's high level champagne bar, because it gives just about the best view of central London you can get.

message: Shouldn't we move this page to Vertigo (disambiguation) and move Vertigo (medical) here, adding the appropriate "for other uses see" text?  I'd go ahead, but it requires admin rights to keep all the histories straight.  (John User:Jwy talk) 21:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm interested to hear Mikkalai's reasons for moving after the request failed to achieve consensus.  I don't think the situation is terrible as it is, but I thought we had decided it was better to have the disambiguation page at the main title, because it wasn't clear whether the medical condition or the film is a primary topic. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for making move without talking first. I was not aware that it was a matter of dicussion. And, GTBacchus, you didn't read my talk page carefully :-) That was my idea anyway :-) `'mikka 01:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

text:  Now, to the topic, You seem to have a somewhat misguided notion about what is "primary topic". The first and foremost meaning of the word is medical condition. Other meanings are derived. They are not even dictionary synonyms, so that one may be unsure whether Table (furniture) or Table (information) is the primary meaning. In our case the medical meaning is in a unique position from the point of view of language. Therefore their frequency in google is irrelevant. In fact, during AfDs it was dicussed numerous times: google is a tool to look for information and any other uses cannot be decisive, especially when comparing incomparable topics. `'mikka 01:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Reading carefully seems to be something we all need to remember.  No one mentioned google here but you.  And as I point out in the discussion, the definition of primary topic as I understand it from the guidelines is NOT the first dictionary definition, but should be the article desired by a clear majority of those that enter the term in the search box.  The links to the various vertigo pages was used to provide some idea of this, but was taken with a grain of salt in the discussion - but convinced me, the original requester for the change, that there was not a clear majority.  (John User:Jwy talk) 03:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with Jwy.  Decisions about "Primary topic" are based on what people are likely to be searching for.  Which is more primary for ":Nike", a Greek goddess or a company that makes sneakers?  The community seems to have decided that neither is primary.  How about Neptune?  Even though the planet is named after the Roman god, we have the planet at the primary topic, because more people mean that when they say "Neptune" these days.  What do more people mean when they say (or search for) vertigo?  That's the question we have to decide when choosing a primary topic. -GTBacchus(talk) 19:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article explains that vertigo is vestibulatory disorder. In this case the sensation caused by the picture is not actually vertigo. What exactly kind of dizziness it is? What kind of dizziness it is  when a person looks down from a height? IMO the image must be removed as irrelevant. `'mikka 22:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why was the disambig moved? 

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the move request was: Pages moved. Ucucha 02:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Vertigo → Vertigo (disambiguation) —, and Vertigo (medical) to Vertigo. The medical meaning is the dominant meaning. After the 3 years since the previous move discussions the film and its spinoffs are no longer a front-line public sensation. A bunch of routine pop music songs are not the most important meaning either. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
