Talk:Pentagon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Excuse me a minute, but isn't it a bit thick to put the geometrical object pentagon aside for a building bearing its shape? Most people in this world will not associate the word "Pentagon" with a building, even though most USA-citizens probably do.
The thing that is on pentagon (shape) should be moved here, and the things here to pentagon (building). Need opinions about this before I do it.
Agreed. I thought the same as soon as I saw it. I was going to rename the articles pentagon and The Pentagon. In fact, it seems that articles with those names exist, so your work is half done. -- Heron

- Now begins the real work. Start fixing all these links that now point to the wrong page. -- Minesweeper 08:35 May 14, 2003 (UTC)

- Whew! Nicely done. -- Minesweeper
What is a "no salute, no cover" area? - Montréalais
- "Cover" is military jargon for "hat". Normally a US serviceman must salute his superior officers whenever he (the subordinate) is wearing a cover, or is indoors, and must not do so otherwise. Covers are not usually worn indoors. Outdoors, a "no salute, no cover" area is one where you are not required to wear military millinery, and therefore not required to salute your superiors. --Heron
Thanks. If I weren't 10 minutes late for school I'd try to think of a graceful way of putting this into the article. - Montréalais
- Done, but not gracefully. --Heron
