Talk:Stripe

In Maine (U.S.), Striper is referred to the Striped Bass. Does that count?--Blackmage337 01:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Striper probably doesn't, but striped bass does. Vicarious 22:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is need to break this page up into (at least) two distinctly different meanings of the term:

Stripes in the meaning described in the introduction to this article
Stripes meaning comics stripes found in newpapers (such as Garfield)

I am not quite certain, but there might also be a third meaning of the word in english, something like a row or series of something, maybe over time in rapid succession. A meaning like this certainly exists in danish, which is my native language.

For further inspiration please see the article structure, which I have just submitted to the danish version of wikipedia. In case you want me to help translating this into english, please contact me at my user page. Harlekin96 (talk) 13:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling is comic strip. See the other page strip. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:36, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I did'nt know that. Now I do.

By the way. Is there already an article somewhere about the subject stripe in thes wikipedia rather than words in which the literal string stripe occur (which apparently is, what the present article here is about)? (You see the difference?) Harlekin96 (talk) 16:00, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand. But it seems there is only wikt:stripe, A long, straight region of a single colour". I don't know what more there is to say. An article could be started here, after moving this page to stripe (disambiguation). Charles Matthews (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very well. Then here is my suggestion:

A new disambiguation page named Stripe is created contating these two options:

- - - Stripe (meaning)
    - Stripe (words containing Stripe)

or something like that.

What do you think of that idea?Harlekin96 (talk) 18:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should mention it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation. The page was created almost five years ago - it would not be surprising if the experts had different ideas now. Charles Matthews (talk) 21:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
