[edit] suggested split

Yeah, this should have a disambiguation page. I think there's also a type of dessert or pie or something called a flam, and what niftyc said about the owls makes sense too. 85.211.22.141 (talk) 20:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Guest

Sure, ok by me. This one should probably become Flam (percussion). Brad Halls (talk) 05:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking about writing a page about flams. A 'flam' is the common name for a type of owl (short for Otus Flammeolus). What do you think about a disambiguation page? niftyc
I've decided to be bold and just leave this one as it is, and put an {{otheruses}} template on the top, and I started the Flam (disambiguation) page as well. --Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 01:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] "Failure to launch" edit by 124.177.90.51

About this edit: We (the collective contributors to this article) are not trying to be rude by removing your stuff. There is a proper (and logical) method on wikipedia to do what you apparently want to do, which is as follows:

  1. Watch the "discussion" page of the article when controversies like this pop up. That is how these sorts of things are worked out.
  2. Create a new page called "Failure to Launch" (or whatever you would like to call it)
  3. Rename this page to something like "Flam (percussion)"
  4. Create a disambiguation page called "Flam" that points to both. To see a good example of this, type "bow" (or any other word with multiple meanings) in the search box and press "go".

[edit] Rudiment rewrite

There's a discussion open about moving a full rewrite of Rudiment, combining all smaller rudiments, into mainspace and redirecting all the smaller article to rudiment going on now at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Percussion#Rudiment_rewrite --Evan ยค Seeds 04:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
