Talk:No man's land
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No Man's Land has more than this definition and the term predates WWI. The term could mean:
- An unclaimed or unowned piece of land; a wasteland.
- Land under dispute by two opposing parties; especially, the field of battle between two opposing entrenched armies.
- Any area into which a man does not venture because of fear or uncertainty; a realm of danger or ambiguity (this definition probably descends from meaning 2).
I suggest this page be moved to, maybe, No_man's_land_(war), and this name be for a disambiguation page. --12.74.169.88
- The current version (changed by myself) implements this suggestion. I'm still not sure whether to keep the disambig marker or not... --Joy [shallot] 13:09, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I don't have much confidence in the land mines remark. Man traps yes.. land mines not the greatest problem. --86.207.40.149 18:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
