This article really needs some cleaning up. I don't know anything about guard stones so I only went through to brush up the language and make it a little easier to understand. I removed the last sentence of the entry "But they are also devices of street furniture to prevent cars for damaging or crushing. For example, for kindergarten or land-filled" because it didn't seem to make any sense. I'm not sure this entry warrants a table of contents. I should probably be condensed and the table removed or else expanded upon by someone knowledgeable about the subject. .nix (talk) 05:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have tagged it with cleanup and noref. I'd like to improve this article, but it's near-impossible to find information on this. Maybe "guard stone" is not the correct English word for them? I'll check OED later -Kieran (talk) 07:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The term in French for guard stones is "chasse-roue." There is a corresponding article of that title in the French Wikipedia which follows the English one closely; the English article may have started as a machine-translated version of the French one, resulting in the incomprehensible "kindergarten or land-filled" phrase. A better translation of the sentence in question might be "There are also other examples of street furniture intended to prevent damage or crushing from cars and trucks, for example, planters or landscaping."
