Talk:Conch piercing

Why would we want to merge conch piercing with earring but ignore others such as tragus piercing, industrial piercing, etc.? Earpol 02:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Because I had not seen those. When I came around the conch piercing article today, it seemed too specific and a quick search showed that not only an ear piercing article existed, it was better illustrated than the new one. I suggest updating Earring with this information, or at least make a single article about Ear piercing. If you do choose to keep all articles separated, then these articles should be linked in the See Also section of Earring and/or Piercing, so that people searching for "piercing" can find them.

I don't really have a problem with merging these into a single expanded earring article, for example, see nose piercing. But it would look nicer if it were consistent. Earpol 03:59, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

(Sorry, I've never typed on a 'talk' page before. Apologies if I've done it incorrectly!) Why merge ONLY "conch piercings", and not the similar articles on tragus piercings, industrial piercings, et cetera? I think that they should be maintained separately, but remain linked on the main "earring" page. I guess I assume that the general public sees more of a distinction. Most people think of earlobe earrings when they think of earrings/ear piercing. These other piercings seem more specialized/different. Christy747 07:49, 5 August
