[edit] Lock, stock and barrel

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Copied to Wiktionary and transwikied the only link. I don't feel that a redirect is indicated. Robert A West 23:09, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

I "created" the article by migrating the relevant text from the flintlock article because as a phrase (as opposed to a mere word) it would get more exposure categorized as an English phrase. If this is migrated to the Wikitionary then I can envison quite a few other phrases going there as well, no?--Hooperbloob 02:06, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

  • It's not like this would be the first article to do so. Other articles can always external link to the wictionary page. Transwiki. — RJH 15:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • With no disrespect to your effort, I feel that the proper place for this, and nearly all other English phrases, is Wiktionary, per WP:NOT. Hence, I went to the effort to do everything that I am allowed to do boldly, for all three phrases in flintlock and then came here. Robert A West 16:21, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I really don't care one way or the other. I suggest that we put a cautionary note on the Category:English phrases then to ensure that it doesn't grow with improper entries. Perhaps a VfD on that category will get a good discussion going. --Hooperbloob 16:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • You mean CfD, I assume. A fiew of the articles look good, but most need to be merged/transwikied. Sigh!
