[edit] Meelee vs cold

What is EXACT difference between Mêlée weapon and Cold weapon? I see here A melee weapon (...) or cold weapon is any weapon that does not involve a projectile but on Cold weapon page I see that mêlée weapon is actually a subcategory of cold ones. --Wicked 03:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yea. Someone screwed up. I was thinking the exact same thing. I'll fix it now. 66.188.208.146 13:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I've suggested merging List of mêlée weapons with this page with since they duplicate much of the material. (see lead paragraphs). The list is also and serves mainly as a directory; a category would be better. Gwinva (talk) 03:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. The separation into two separate articles is in accordance with the wikipedia standard. One article discusses the history, social and cultural significance, etc. and the other article lists the items which are of the article's topic but would be messy to include in the original article. True, right now the lead in paragraphs are very similar, but perhaps it is the "list of" article who should lose those paragraphs. Ordosingularis (talk) 12:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
