But only because "Shakespeare" says so, not because you say so. Alansplodge ( talk) 11:04, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Cheer up, Alan - "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" - therefore, because you know you're not wise, you're wise after all. We live and learn, but grow not the wiser. Alansplodge ( talk) 10:59, 4 November 2011 (UTC) No, you're quite right PalaceGuard "Sense of "a line of people or things guarding something" is 1758." while "Cordon sanitaire (1857), from French, a guarded line between infected and uninfected districts.". Just my opinion I'll try to find a reference. It doesn't make any sense unless you go via that route. Alansplodge ( talk) 09:29, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Why do you say it derive from "cordon sanitaire" rather than just, you know, "cordon" - which in ordinary English means "a separation or barrier"? - PalaceGuard008 ( Talk) 10:21, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Because it's a loanword from French which just means "string". The associated wikilink isn't very helpful, but I believe it derives from the French term Cordon sanitaire. D b f i r s 08:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Our article on Kettling (a UK police tactic for isolating and detaining a crowd to prevent disorder), uses the term " cordon" for the line of police that you describe. Clarityfiend ( talk) 07:43, 4 November 2011 (UTC) The term is used ambiguously for a line of police, and also for a line designated by the police. What more is there to say? Clarityfiend ( talk) 06:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks, but the question wasn't whether or not it needs an article. What are other people's opinion on this term? Is there an alternative term that is in more common usage? Can anyone locate decent refs? Thanks, - jjron ( talk) 05:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC) IMO, it's not worth an article. I can't find this definition of 'police line' as 'a line of police' really mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia, and a Google search turns up plenty of results, but nothing (at least in the first three or so pages) I'd really say could be used to base an article or article section on. However our police line article is a redirect to caution tape, which is clearly something completely different. Something like or is what I would call a "police line", and given the names of those files I'm evidently not the only one. but all the input is greatly appreciated.

Mitch Ames ( talk) 10:04, 4 November 2011 (UTC) A rather narrow Rolling pin that would leave interesting tracks on your pie crust. or more of a self-massager than a scratcher. It doesn't have to be a sustainable thing if I can do it once, that would be enough for me to say "Wow look at how wacky I can bee with this broken chair wheel).ฤก28.250.5.248 ( talk) 04:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Backscratcher. The wackier the better, but I'm looking especially for ideas which involve modifying the wheel/leg (albeit simply). I'm instead looking for weird/novel uses for this thing.
Now I have no interest in fixing the chair. I have a broken chair wheel from an office chair, similar to the one shown in this picture (i.e I have the wheel attached to some length of the chair leg). 1.8 Does anyone know offhand - can a Little Deuce Coupe really do 140?.
