Talk:False start

Meaning
No doubt this article deserves multiple pages :) Yes it does There's also such a thing as a false start in linguistics: You reformulate something that you were going to say.

Nope, they are still all false starts, just need to be broken up into segments. Mrtechguy (talk) 08:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Disagree because the resulting articles will probaly be merged back. They aren't that long to begin with. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The articles have since been merged into other relevant topics. See the new disambiguation page at False start (disambiguation) to see what happened to them. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 15:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Current rules in athletics
I have tidied up the section in athletics. I am not sure if there is currently a restart in the event of a false start or not. Could someone confirm that there is. regards Op47 (talk) 18:40, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
