[edit] Elaborate
Can someone please explain what the opening sentence means by "two spiders called Arabella and Anita, two females of the cross variety". In particular, what are they a cross of? Thank you 147.70.153.227 16:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Cross spider redirects to European garden spider, so perhaps that's the answer, rather than hybrisised spiders. Or perhaps They were annoyed about being in space. Totnesmartin 17:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I think this most recent push for this article to be merged is nonsense. This article got a DYK, and I received a barnstar for it. It would not even it properly into the spiders article anyway! No, this is stupid, i wholeheartedly must disagree! ♣ ÅñôñÿMôús Dîššíd3nt 10:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I think a See Also is enough,as it also allows people to link to from the Animals in Space article.The article is exactly about spiders,its also about stuff in spaceUser:Serprex 12:32, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Serprex here. Is the merge forgotten, or has anyone anything else to say? It's a two against 1 situation, does this mean the merge is cancelled? Blast, isn here anything you want to say? Is there anything else need be done before the merge tag be removed. I'm rather tired of it marring the article. ♣ ÅñôñÿMôús Dîššíd3nt 00:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- I also strongly oppose merging to Spider; it would be far too much detail in an article that's already getting long. Even the "see also" link there is probably unnecessary. I would suggest, instead, including a couple of sentences about this experiment in Spider web (perhaps next to the discussion of drug effects), with a link to this article. —Celithemis 00:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing much reason to merge too. There's a lot of information that couldn't really be satisfactorily covered in Spider. bibliomaniac15 01:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- I've tentatively implemented this apparent concensus. FWIW, I support the idea of a link from Spider web. Sdsds 02:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
