Talk:Semaphore (disambiguation)

message: 'Bold text'Bold textermmm. a disamb page that only points to one use? What's the other meaning of 'semaphore'? -- Tarquin 10:22 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
Unless the mysterious other meaning of "Semaphore" actually gets an article soon, I'll move the article on the method of communication back here -- Tarquin 14:21 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)

One meaning is missing - "Semaphore" is a mechanical turn indicator in automobiles, used up to about 1955.
There is another version of semaphore, I believe. It has to do with psycology. See The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, p.108 in the hardcover edition. Sith Lord 13 09:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The first half of the article deals with visual communication by means of movable bars. The next section deals with the wig-wag flags used at sea. They are both referred to as semaphore, aren't they? It seems to me a person interested in one system but not the other would still be able to find what he or she is looking for. I like the article's organization the way it is, so I vote against a split. It's not excessively long, anyway. --Cbdorsett 10:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm for it, flage semaphore is completely different from the other (lesser known?) semaphore.--Redlock 01:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The "new article" has already existed for a long time and is linked.  It's called flag signals.  It's just that a lot of the relevant material is in the wrong article and should be moved from here to there.  Jim.henderson 05:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The flag signals article is a stub, consisting of a few lines of text and no examples of the "flag alphabet". If anything, it should be deleted, or merger with the new article, or redirected to it.--Jotel 07:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks for that well executed split, and nice documentation (i assume by you) on the divided talk pages.--Jerzy•t 21:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your welcome. Yes, it was done by me. Though I couldn't have done it without Coren. Right now I'm tring to fix the pages still pointing to the disambig. Care to help?--Once in a Blue Moon (talk) 21:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Uhm, does anyone know how the professor's name is written in the TV-series Dommel? He is called semaphore, but that redirects here. Mallerd 08:18, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Professor Dommel??  The article you mentioned says The Dommel is a river in Belgium and The Netherlands ...--Jotel 18:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is a TV-series, the main character is a dog called Dommel. His owner and friend is a professor called Semaphore, fonetically, but nevermind I'll search for it. Mallerd 21:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

text:  Dommel is the Dutch name for Cubitus. Apparently the (original?) comics are called Cubitus and the carootns Wowser in the US. Professor is indeed named "Semaphore" in the various European languages, and Semaphore (disambiguation) now reflects that.--Jerzy•t 05:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks, I see the name of the professor is written like Semaphore. So thanks for disambig Mallerd (talk) 14:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
