Talk:Pump (shoe)

Disambiguate
This article should be a simple disambiguation between the UK meaning & the US meaning. Dyaimz (talk) 00:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Just what I was thinking, this is really a disambiguation page. It just contains detail and navboxes that aren't normally found on disambiguation pages.  For that matter, my inclination is to incorporate a trimmed-down version of this into Pump (disambiguation) and then RFID this one.  I'll have a go when I've a bit more time. -- Smjg (talk) 01:58, 15 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope you will now WP:FIXDABLINKS, since there are hundreds of pages that refer to shoes but now link to a disambiguation page instead of an article about a type of shoe. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I had a brief look when I did it, and found many of the inbound links to be just pages including clothing, which I promptly fixed. Probably most of the links here were badly targeted even before I made this change.  But I'll have a look. -- Smjg (talk) 15:25, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The WLH seems to have refreshed now so that it's no longer cluttered by listing every page with clothing on. And I've fixed those links that are straightforward.  This leaves a few that aren't straightforward, as well as a few user/project/talk pages where the link seems to be about the page itself. -- Smjg (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Information lost
Is this really what's best? When I was looking at this, since I didn't know what pumps are, I had to look at each article and make a best guess. The explanation found in the mini-article would have been much more helpful. (See here). We've lost a lot of information for the fashion-terminology-challenged. What's been gained? -- Ja Ga  talk 09:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * A disambiguation page, which is what this essentially was, should contain just enough to enable the reader to pick the correct article, without going into too much detail. Much of the detail that was here belongs on the individual disambiguated articles.  Meanwhile, I've expanded further the information on Pump (disambiguation). -- Smjg (talk) 15:25, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
