Talk:Pole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might be an idea to merge North Pole and South Pole, so we have one article that covers geographic & magnetic poles instead of two stubs that the reader has to bounce between. -- Tarquin
Where do polar graphs fit? Polar redirects to this page, which mentions nothing about polar graphs... ugen64 22:38, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)
It fits in Coordinates (elementary mathematics). I'll make a note on this page. --zandperl 00:34, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Crystallography
- something to do with crystallography
Uh, so, "A pole has something to do with crystallography". That's not very helpful, is it? - furrykef (Talk at me) 04:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey! You go read that page and try to figure out what they're talking about. Here's the sole reference:
The position in 3D space of each crystal face is plotted on a stereographic net, e.g. Wolff net or Lambert net. In fact, the pole to each face is plotted on the net. Each point is labelled with its Miller Index. The final plot allows the symmetry of the crystal to be established.
Note that pole helpfully links back to this disambiguation page. Cheers! Ewlyahoocom 17:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

- Oh believe me I tried, I couldn't figure it out. Because there is only one reference to pole, and it is neither explained nor points to an article which explains its use in this contex, I decided the disambiguation page would have been better off without it. Especially considering the informal way in which it was pasted on the disambig. page - it looks as if someone had simply searched for the world pole in all the articles and found it in crystallography. In any case, linking it back to the disambig. page seems like a good idea, hopefully someone who knows a bit about the subject can provide a bit more of an idea. -- Serephine / talk - 01:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pole and Polar on one page
Why are "pole" and "polar" lumped together on one page? Wouldn't it be better to split it into two separate disambiguation pages? Kpalion 09:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's certainly possbile. About 1/4th of the entries are Polar, although 2/3rds of those are names (I guess Pole doesn't have the same frosty connotations). I do hate to break up Polar circle and Polar climate and North pole and South pole. I'll try adding another section. Did you have a problem finding a particular entry (or finding that it isn't here)?

- I think that they should be split up. Very few of the entries would be listed on both pages and it would be easier to find things. A link to the other page could be put on both disambiguation pages. -- Kjkolb 23:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
