[edit] Merge request

Spirit leveling is the act of, Spirit level is the instrument. No need to merge either of them. Reviewing the spirit leveling article suggests it's surveying related so in the absence of any cats there, Category:Surveying has now been added to it. — Graibeard 00:36, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I agree with Graibeard. This article needs pictures and descriptions of carpenters', masons', and surveyer's levels as well as more links to other related articles such as Spirit level (Engineers). Luigizanasi 01:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I think Spirit leveling is too detailed and specific to one use to include in this article. I also think Spirit leveling is not the best name for the article. Will take that to the Talk:Spirit leveling page. SilentC 21:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Agree. This information is not distinct enough to warrant seperate articles. AdamWeeden 16:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. "Different types of spirit levels are used by carpenters, stone masons, bricklayers, other building trades workers, surveyors, millwrights and other metalworkers" whereas spirit leveling seems to be the application of the technique on a much larger scale. -anon
  • Oppose. According to the article, a spirit level encompasses carpenter's levels and any other device with a spirit bubble. The spirit leveling article describes only the use of a surveyor's level. I also agree that "Spirit leveling" is not the right name for that article.-oOo-WhiskeyClone-oOo- 22:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
