Talk:meld

Wow. All this time I thought meld was to combine two things into one...you meld them together. I also thought melt was when a solid changed to a liquid due to the addition of heat. Is this entry simply wrong, or am I? --Connel MacKenzie 08:49, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I don't know! I've always known what melt means and have had a vague idea what meld means but not enough to feel comfortable writing a def of it. When I saw this def I wasn't sure if it was wrong or right. Please fix it if you think it's wrong - it probably is, according to my gut feeling. — Hippietrail 01:51, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

And the etymology is a variation of weld, right? --Connel MacKenzie 05:16, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

translations

When completely changing the meaning of a definition (as I'd like to here) what do you do with the translations? Just move the old stuff to the discussion page? They don't seem to match (although similar) the translations for melt so it seems to me that they might be the correct translations for the wrong definition. --Connel MacKenzie 05:19, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
