Talk:Lozenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi Marnanel, could you rephrase, or rather expand, the paragraph on heraldry? As it is now it's really difficult to understand, and you seem to know something about the subject. All the best, |l'KF'l| 00:28, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Done-- could you let me know whether it's clear? Thanks. Marnanel 18:11, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Great. That's much better now. Personally, I would have a couple of further questions concerning married and divorced women, but this is nothing to do with lozenges any longer. Thanks a lot, and best wishes, |l'KF'l| 19:39, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)
As the cough drop meaning is the more commonly used, shouldn't it be of more prominence? I want to hear you thoughts before changing things.

[edit] "This article should be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page."
Says who? As a contributor at least partially experienced in the inherent follies of Wikipedia, let me have a guess at what will happen if we do split up this article. Two things:
(1) The common root of the various meanings of the word will get lost. If you look at a disambiguation page, you have no idea why all those things have the same name, whether this is coincidental or—as in this case—not.
(2) The individual articles will be so short that in no time some eager contributor will do one (or even more) of three things: (a) add the stub sign; (b) want to move the entry to Wiktionary; or (c) put the article on the "Votes for deletion" list.
Splitting the article up is not worth the trouble. We are proudly working against each other here. <KF> 15:05, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Irregular, irregular
Citation: This resulted in the development of the so-called lozenge pattern, made up of irregular painted polygons.
The pattern in the image given looks rather symmetrically, instead of irregular. --Abdull 14:47, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 45° or greater
This doesn't match the MathWorld definition. Better would be "a rhombus with acute angles, especially 45°." -- Frank Adams-Watters
[edit] Typography?
I got to the article from a list of rarely used typographical symbols, like the Interrobang. What would the ◊ symbol be used for? --Awiseman 04:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CP437
AFAIK there is no Lozenge in code page 437. At positon 4 there is the "Black Diamond Suit" U+2666 (♦) which is not outlined but filled. --Majoran 00:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
