Talk:Force (disambiguation)

Needs to be edited for better structure.

I doubt anyone will be looking for "Force" as it relates to the game R-Type, likely they will search for the title of the game itself. Removed as it adds clutter to an already huge disambiguation page.--Slike 09:51, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The kitchen tool.

Resolved

I can't find info on that in Wiktionary, OR this page. Where is the info about the kitchen tool? I mean the kitchen tool that's related to knifes and spoons.

Nevermind, I found out I misspelled fork. TheBlazikenMaster 13:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Lead item

MOS:DAB is clear "Rather than including a dictionary definition of a word, create a cross-link to our sister project, Wiktionary" DAB pages are to help a reader navigate to the required article from a group that have the same of a similar title and which could therfore be confused (my wording). I suggest you read MOS:DAB it has lots of suggestions as to the way a dab page should be constructed and it is quite clear that the primary article should be the one in the lead position.

Reverting the whole page seems a rather blunt tool. I will seek help from DAB page specialists. Abtract (talk) 09:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

What about it? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

a couple of uses that would be handy to add

1) Radiative forcing

2) no good link, but

• Orchestra#Beethoven's influence: "The so-called "standard complement" of double winds and brass in the orchestra from the first half of the 19th century is generally attributed to the forces called for by Ludwig van Beethoven."
• Orchestra#20th century orchestra: "... Mahler pushes the furthest boundaries of orchestral size, employing huge forces."

I've now added both a link at See also to Forcing (disambiguation), and a redlink to Forces (music), just as a heads-up - hopefully a musician will come along and fix this one. Milkunderwood (talk) 02:55, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Merge The Force

I am proposing merging The Force (disambiguation) into this article. The two things are very similar and in some cases it is unclear which page an item belongs on. This has led to a number of inconsistencies. For instance "police force" appears on both pages. Ipswich Force is on this page while Western Force is on "The Force" page, despite both teams being referred to as "the Force". It would be entirely simpler to have both of these on one page.

Can't you just fix those few errors, instead of combining the two already reasonably long lists, making them overall more difficult to navigate? --Joy (talk) 10:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Because, as I said, they are not straightforward errors. It is ambiguous in a number of cases which page they do belong on. SpinningSpark 17:45, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Oppose, as the terms are sufficiently distinct. It seems fine to leave some of those duplicates, as they seem to rightly be listed in two places. For example, The Force is a colloquial term for the Police force around here ... Klbrain (talk) 23:14, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Closing, given the objections, no support, and stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 10:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
