Talk:Micro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So whats micro on computer games? Anyone gotta real sophisticated way to put it?
- I've absolutely no idea what you're trying to ask.
- There's already a disambig referencing the computer usage; I don't think any more is necessary.

- as well as being slang for micromanagement in real-time strategy games.
[edit] Requested move to "Micro-"
(This section created by Fourohfour, as proposer of move had not already created one).
Can you indicate the reasoning behind the move proposal? Thanks. Fourohfour 10:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- The article is about the micro- prefix ("micro" is not a word by itself). This is the way prefixes are written in dictionaries and the first word of the article. All of these prefix articles need to be named appropriately. — Omegatron 15:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

- So long as it's consistent with the rest of Wikipedia (or at least the way it's *meant* to be), that sounds fair enough to me. Fourohfour 16:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Micro can also be used as a word on it's own, as an adjective

- i would comment that prescription would hold that 'micro' is a prefix, while description, acknowledges that it is a word unto itself. EuPhyte 18:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is an encyclopedia article about a prefix, not a dictionary definition of a word.
- For comparison, wikt:micro- is a dictionary definition of a prefix, while wikt:micro is a dictionary definition of a word.
- micro could be a disambiguation page that links to micro- the prefix and microcomputer, for instance. — Omegatron 04:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Exactly, i favor the move, as this is an article about "micro- (prefix). However your assertion "("micro" is not a word by itself)" is not a winnable argument, per descriptive/perscriptive linguistics. I say move it. Article looks great by the way. --EuPhyte 00:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
