Talk:Pole

message: Might be an idea to merge North Pole and South Pole, so we have one article that covers geographic & magnetic poles instead of two stubs that the reader has to bounce between. -- Tarquin

Where do polar graphs fit? Polar redirects to this page, which mentions nothing about polar graphs... ugen64 22:38, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)
It fits in Coordinates (elementary mathematics).  I'll make a note on this page.  --zandperl 00:34, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: :something to do with crystallography
Uh, so, "A pole has something to do with crystallography". That's not very helpful, is it? - furrykef (Talk at me) 04:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I removed it -- Serephine / talk - 16:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh believe me I tried, I couldn't figure it out. Because there is only one reference to pole, and it is neither explained nor points to an article which explains its use in this contex, I decided the disambiguation page would have been better off without it. Especially considering the informal way in which it was pasted on the disambig. page - it looks as if someone had simply searched for the world pole in all the articles and found it in crystallography. In any case, linking it back to the disambig. page seems like a good idea, hopefully someone who knows a bit about the subject can provide a bit more of an idea. -- Serephine / talk - 01:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are "pole" and "polar" lumped together on one page? Wouldn't it be better to split it into two separate disambiguation pages? Kpalion 09:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's certainly possbile. About 1/4th of the entries are Polar, although 2/3rds of those are names (I guess Pole doesn't have the same frosty connotations). I do hate to break up Polar circle and Polar climate and North pole and South pole. I'll try adding another section. Did you have a problem finding a particular entry (or finding that it isn't here)?

replies: text: I think that they should be split up. Very few of the entries would be listed on both pages and it would be easier to find things. A link to the other page could be put on both disambiguation pages. -- Kjkolb 23:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pole and Polar on one page 

message: Pole - unit of length and area. Is NOT derived from the cubit. A Pole is the length of a plough team from the horses nose to the ploughmans heels, and is 16 foot 6 inches. Your definition in this article is incorrect. It is an Old English measurement, and still used in some rural parts of lincolnshire, especially for allotments, a standard size for an allotment is 17 poles (ie 17 x (16 feet 6 inches x 16 feet 6 inches)

thread_title:  ERROR!!! 

message: What in the world is the "Politics" section doing being labelled as such, and containing such links as "Axle", "Polar", "Polarity", and "Quarterstaff"? I'd rename it myself, but I'm not sure what the traditional name for an "other" section on a disambiguation page is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawk777 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The earth can not flip magnetic poles. It is a fact the the measurement taken show opposite pole shift however those areas were also impacted by meteors which would of disrupted the magnetic flow below the crust causing eddy currents. The stones/materials that were tested had shown magnetite southern pole settings. Poles don’t flip. Show me proof that measurement were taken along a longitudinal line from pole to pole.

message: In Talk:Polish people#Requested move 2 February 2023, Poles was moved here. https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Pole for March '23 shows the Polish people are still the most commonly looked up topic, individually significantly ahead of the other entries, and overall 648 outgoing clicks out of 2.5k incoming views (~26%), so I reformatted the list to restore that entry at the top. --Joy (talk) 16:00, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
