Talk:Subsidary

Is this a typo? --Dweller 14:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Is it a dictionary entry? --Dweller 14:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

It's a newly created term thanks to a man called Nick. i suppose it might actually be a dictonary entry but may be expanded to be encloypidic too.#

Does that mean it's a nickname, rather than what the official service is called? --Dweller 15:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what the article is trying to convey. It seems like you are saying that "Subsidary" is a term meaning a subsidized bus service? I can see a couple of problems with this. First Wikipedia generally is not the place for dictionary definitions - try for that. Second, this doesn't seem like the usual definition for this word. It seems like a very specific slang being applied in a local region of the UK. We generally don't accept slang terms on Wikipedia either. Finally the title of the article is mispelled, it should be "subsidiary".


 * In fact Wikipedia already has an article under the correct spelling: subsidiary which gives you an idea of how a more mature article looks.


 * Please let us know what you're trying to achieve with this article. It may be appropriate to redirect it to the correct spelling of the article. Best, Gwernol 16:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, on reflection it's a dictonary term.

As I'm not aware how in hells name this works, could someone delete/move it?

 * I've redirected the page to Subsidiary which means that if people search for the mispelling they'll get sent to the existing article. Best, Gwernol 16:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
