Talk:Standing stone

Difference between Menhir and Standing Stone
Wouldn't it be usefull to include some comment on what's the difference between a Standing Stone and a Menhir? I at least came to this page to find out exctly that...

Merger proposal
Wouldn't it be better to merge this article with either Menhirs or megaliths? Especialy if there is little or no difference.

 * With the content currently in this article, you are probably right. However, I would normally say no as the menhirs are constituents of standing stone formations. Perhaps the article should be renamed? (and worked upon) Plus standing stones can be menhirs, dolmens or even (paradoxically) recumbent stones (usually only one in the formation).

 * Given how sparse this is, a merge makes sense to me. If we're going to cover standing stones from a number of cultures, "Standing stone" would probably be the best title to consolidate under. - Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 22:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
