replies: text: My first reaction was that the hatnote was a bit far-fetched, but your second point convinced me otherwise. WP:Hatnote says they should be used when the "sought article and the article with the hatnote have similar names" but does not directly address homophones. The rise of voice command usage has been dramatic and it's too soon to say how useful this hatnote will be to such users, which likely includes a lot of people with visual disability. I'd leave it alone, and maybe add one to Erie Canal.--agr (talk) 21:26, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Bathynomus giganteus

message: It seems clear that this article should indeed be merged with giant isopod.  Or not so much merged as simply redirected.  This page is basically two cool photos, a chart of these funky critters' place on the Tree of Life, and a one-sentence definition.  It's a small subset of the giant isopod article.  And "Bathynomus giganteus" is just the binomial name of the giant isopod.  
Why do we even have to discuss it?  Let's just redirect.  Boom. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.152.247.117 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 17 May 2007

message: The plot is very confusing, there is no background information and it doesn't read well. Hence the tag.
Another thing I'd like to add: there is an article called Hana-Kimi chapter summaries - which consists of nothing but plot. A few weeks back there were a lot of deletions of "Plot of xxx" anime articles, I think this one will fall under the same deletion arguments too. I'd tag it with a 'merger' tag, so the info gets put into this article before it's deleted. Ninja neko 13:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Prop (disambiguation)

message: I have propsed merging Theatrical properties into this article. My reasons are:
* There should obviously be only one article to cover this topics.
* Theatrical properties is in the plural form and so shouldn't be used anyway.
* The Prop article contains more information.
* The abbrevireation Prop is perhaps more readily associated with theatre than Property, by the general public and wikipedia users.
* This page is easier to link to - in fact many more wikipedia articles link to this page than the other.

message: The eardrum and the small bones in the healthy middle ear transmit the sound vibrations, and small muscles quick enough to react to thunder (but not to explosions) attached to these, adjust the amount of vibrations to the cochlea.
