Shubhankit Roy (talk) 10:27, 5 August 2013 (UTC) For the given third meaning of the word "splinter", "factions" should be replaced with "fractions".[reply]

No, factions is correct. A number of languages, such as German, do use semantic or etymological cognates of "fractions" to refer to small political groups, but English uses "factions". - -sche (discuss) 14:54, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Injury[edit]

Does "I got a splinter" have any meaning beyond "I got a shaving of wood"? I think it is an injury caused by a piece of wood.--Simplificationalizer (talk) 00:17, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
