Talk:Balance board

message: I don't think the balance board should be confused with the rola bola. The balance board is destined to a medical use. The rola bola seems to be used in leisure, sports, entertainment.
Further, I would like to point out that the word for balance board in French is "plateau de Freeman". It would be interesting to find out who this "Freeman" is, it seems more an anglo-saxon name than a French one.
A happy user of the "balance board" to recover from ankle problems

:I agree.  The merge template's been up for 4 months, no comments in support of merging, I'll remove the template. --Darkwind (talk) 22:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this balance board and a rola bola are exactly the same things: the two articles should be merged. I never heard of “plateau de Freeman” but I know we sometimes says “rouleau américain” for rola bola in French. A2 (talk) 01:49, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unencyclopedic 

message: Rola-bola = balance board. they are exactly the same thing, which you do the same thing on, the only difference is the philosphy one takes. Merge it with rola bola. Hell i'll do it if noone else will.

replies: text: I agree that the rola bola should be merged into balance board, because a rola bola is one type of balance board.--Mick The Surfer (talk) 07:50, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rola Bola again 

message: I marked the article with Original Research. I see no citations (at least none regarding the actual topic of the article), and the article looks like one long "how to" page anyway. --67.97.118.4 (talk) 16:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is ridiculous it sounds like a guide and just sounds unprofessional in general. Ill be attempting to clean out pictures and clean up the text.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.254.35 (talk) 21:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ridiculous 

message: This article hasn't improved much if at all since it first caught my attention on December 2009. Anyone want to try to salvage the article? I'll help identify and assess sources. I've also started a discussion on the coi problems here, which could use further analysis and others' perspectives. --Ronz (talk) 02:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Where is Lizzie Borden when you need her? This article is ridiculously over-detailed, and needs substantial axe-work. We devote less space to Tachyons than to this... AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some massive axing of the article today. While some of the remaining sections may need some rephrasing (a few unencyclopedic comments are left here and there), I don't believe anymore axing is required. While I didn't intend for this, I am proud to say that this page is now smaller than the Tachyon article (26,417 bytes here vs 29,951 bytes in Tachyon). Primalmoon (talk) 09:18, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Does article require complete rewrite?

message: I'm an expert in the the field of Rolla Bolla. If I can help clarify anything, or if looking at my work helps, I'd like to help write some of this article.

thread_title:  More discussion 

message: Just thought I'd point out to anyone who feels like improving it that the article mentions some rather unlikely uses of a balance board in the first sentence, and cites sources in the explanation which I would probably call niche. While I don't doubt given the sources that some people use balance boards for musical training, it's hardly a mainstream use. 86.145.152.9 (talk) 16:48, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
