Talk:Flat

A flat can also be, in agriculture and gardening, a small wooden or plastic box filled with seed starter or special soil in which seeds are germinated and grown as seedlings, until they are transplanted outdoors.

What about flats on semiconductor wafers?

What about "false flats"

A graph is referred to as being flat if it's possible to arrange all the verticies on a plane in a way such that no edges overlap.

A flat is also a (usually 12"x12" or other square) two-sided promotional ad that bands (well, record labels) send to music stores to promote albums —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.165.225.101 (talk) 22:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Move proposal
I don't think "flat" is much more frequently used in the musical meaning than in other meanings. I propose to move Flat to Flat (Music), and then moving this page to Flat. --Acepectif 04:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with you. Being bold and doing so, since no one's objected (and your message is just over a month old). --Dpx0 11:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation?
This has so many definitions for 'flat' that it sounds like a disambiguation page more than an encyclopedia article. It might be a good idea to change it. I'd do it but I don't know how and would like other's opinions before going ahead. --Tahren B 13:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was a disambiguation page... --Helenalex 05:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops my mistake, haha, I didn't scroll that far down :P Thanks, haha --Tahren B 10:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Britishish
We have "flat" on this page meaning "a residential house or apartment." I've only ever heard of it referring to an apartment, but apparently there is some sort of house that qualifies. I'm not sure what a "residential house" is, though. Here in the states, if it's a house, it's residential, or rather the area where houses are is called a "residential area." I did some looking around on the internet and there seems no clue what kind of houses would be called flats instead of houses. But this page is what sent me looking so I guess it is not a mistake (the suggestion is that flats lack yards, although so do apartments, and I would guess they only have one floor but that is guessing). Of course being slang it's not in wiktionary, and many online British to American dictionaries of slang apparently omit "flat" as being too common to bother with. Strange.
