The PoS and definition don't look right and entry needs proper formatting, etymology, Latin. DCDuring TALK 15:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Tagged since June 2011; seemingly never dealt with. I'm so meta even this acronym (talk) 13:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well, is it always a line on a graph or can it represent the actual real life conditions as well? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- No idea; I just brought the entry here because I saw that it was tagged and had not been altered significantly since. Perhaps, as the tagging editor, DCDuring can tell us what it is about the entry that needs to be cleaned up. I'll post a message on his talk page.

- AFAICT, its only meaning is "a line on a graph […] ". I've made a few non-central changes. It wouldn't hurt if someone better than I at chemistry or physics took a look. DCDuring TALK 19:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

- I still have a nagging feeling that the definition needs to take account of the possibility of a gaseous state, not just liquid and solid. I'm not sure what the distinction between liquidus and solidus would be.
- Also, the definition just seems wrong. It is most likely true that the line(s) themselves represent loci of equilibria, on one side of which the material is liquid and the other solid, and not "A line, in a phase diagram, above which a given substance is a stable liquid and below which solid and liquid are in equilibrium." Other dictionaries seem to say that the line is where liquid and solid are in equilibrium. DCDuring TALK 19:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
