The "braile dreidel" should be delted or made a seperate article. It is an interesting tangent but it does not deserve that much article space relative to the major content. Lophoole 23:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)lophoole

yes, merge with sevivon. it's the same thing :) and I almost added the song to "dreidel". Amoruso 04:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

obviously a merge if it's just two names for the same object. FiveRings 00:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

it should be merged, as all of the information on the Sevivon page applies to dreidel, too. Tamajared 20:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Why is the main image for this article a Braille dreidel? I mean, it's an interesting picture, and could still be used on the page, lower down maybe. But I'd think for the main picture on the article, a standard traditional dreidel would be more appropriate. --Lurlock 21:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think so, too. ^{Well Drawn} Charlie 10:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

don't forget abraham

Also, The dreidel is different in Israel and outside israel. the Shin is replaced with a Pay because a great miracle happened HERE (Po) Can someone add this info?

[edit] Worth getting this page semi-protected?

I just put a comment on here about vandalism and as I was doing so Ukt-zero took it (the vandalism, not my comment) out :) - my original comment is now irrelevant so I've taken it out. I was wondering though if we should ask for this page to be semi-protected? Looking at the history there seems to be a lot of vandalism. Any thoughts? Groovycathers 22:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I think definately. ^{Well Drawn} Charlie 10:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Game Rules

The rules of the dreidle game should be included in this article. ~Raz613

[edit] Seconded

Without the rules, this article is worthless. So there's the thing itself and a song -- but what on earth do you do with it, and what is it for? This "article" explains NOTHING! I'm left with more questions and NO answers. A pointless, pointless "article".

[edit] Poor Heading?

The heading : The More Well Known Lyrics should be changed as the lyrics that follow are from an entirelly a different song. Perhaps: Lyrics to Another Popular Hanukkah Song: Dreidel,Dreidel, Dreidel.

[edit] in popular culture

I think removing this section was a mistake. I know there's an army of editors out there declaring war on trivia, but I believe showing that the dreidel exists in popular culture at all is significant. And I can't think of a better place for this kind of information. From the wikipedia style guide on trivia: "Such sections should not be categorically removed". But that's exactly what happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.224.55.174 (talk) 06:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
