Merge with Front loader?
Should this page be merged with the Front loader page? If yes, which page should be the content page? (The other could redirect to it.) --Roger Chrisman (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * My opinion is, it depends on what the loader page is addressing. A front loader is more correctly called a wheel loader http://www.cat.com/cda/layout?m=111786&x=7. The loader page seems to be discussing wheel loaders, track loaders, industrial loaders (more commonly "skip loader), skid steer loaders, and backhoe loaders. As this is the case then the general form of loader seems appropriate though a page specific to each of these types of loaders (and sub classifications or specific models)will eventually exist. Therefore, I think if there is no actual equipment called a front loader (possibly the reason page has no content) then the page should be deleted and a page called wheel loader created. Sounds like a good course assignment for an equipment class group project.Granite07 (talk) 04:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Granite07, thanks for explaining that. I was confused by the mess Engineering vehicle is in after you reverted my clean up of it. (Please undo that revert so this topic can make progress.) I think no change is needed to the Front loader disambiguation page the way it is. Thanks, --Roger Chrisman (talk) 04:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Front loader doesn't have any content because it's a disambiguation pointing to here (and to front-loading washing machine). Can't see what's wrong with it – it seems to be fine as it is.  Am I missing something?  --Richard New Forest (talk) 17:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Skulls

 * Rio de Janeiro's police elite squad BOPE have recently acquired one wheel loader of military purposes to open routes and make way for the police in Rio de Janeiro's slums which are controlled, and blocked, by drugdealers. They've nicknamed it "the skull's transformer", the skull being a reference to how they call themselves, "the skulls".

"They" being who, the police or the drugdealers? J I P &#124; Talk 21:41, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
