Disambig This page has been rated as Dab-Class on the quality scale.

This looks more like a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia article. --Noldoaran 22:18, Nov 18, 2003 (UTC)

We need to put in a section about strike relating to coinage.

Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). This page is not where new wikipedia stuff should go. New wikipedia entries, should they merit inclusion, should be written, and when they have ambiguous names, they should have links on disambiguation pages.

[edit] removed entry

  • The strike of a geological unit is the compass direction along the plane of the unit where the unit has zero dip. As any surface that is not horizontal will have two such directions, convention states that the direction of strike is taken as counter-clockwise from the dip-direction.

The dip page was also a messed-up dab so not much help. There is an entry there on escarpment that talked about strike-slip, but since this is a dab page, I see no reason to think anyone would end up here looking for that page. Tedernst | talk 23:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

See Strike and dip. Vsmith 19:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Generic topic disambiguation

Note: i've cleaned up and restored this page back to a generic topic disambiguation page, instead of a redirect to Strike action: the latter is not a primary topic. (See the disambiguation page naming conventions.) --Piet Delport 04:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've just (re-)added/merged data from Strike (disambiguation) to this article. This article should indeed be the disambiguation article and strike should not redirect to Strike action, since there are many other meanings of "strike". Before cleaning up most of the list of the former article Strike (disambiguation), please first discuss the removal of entries here on the discussion page. This article is still not as it should be but in progress of becoming more comprehensive. Probably some entries could be put under a "see also" heading. Et cetera. Best regards, --Brz7 00:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
The entries i removed should be uncontroversial: disambiguation pages should only list topics that are ambiguously referred to as "strike", not titles that merely contain "strike", such as Strikebreaker, Strike Gundam, Strike price, and Striking clock; see Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Lists. (The list of specific strike actions i removed are discussed and accessible under Strike action, and not usually referred to ambiguously.) --Piet Delport 05:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
