Comment: I thought the definition and examples were good, clean enough as the truth can be. Except i thought that a literal translation of the first statement by the Mexican comic would be a good idea; it was not literally translated. Sinyaok (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC) My Spanish is not great, but I believe the translation for
is more along the lines of:
Really quite humorous, and appreciated by those like me, who while wishing wish to improve their understanding of "conflation", like their learning with a little sauce.
I cleaned up grammar and changed the "Identies" section to "Examples" and moved it to the bottom. It talked about more than just identities that are conflated and offered no new information, so I thought it would be better at the end of the page. 72.54.238.166 (talk) 20:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
The article starts with a lengthy paragraph about the G8 group of nations in order to give an example of conflation. The paragraph is impenetrably vague, poorly-written, and I cannot think of a way to improve it without ripping it out and leaving a blank space; surely a better example would be e.g. Europe and the European Union, socialism and communism, fundamentalist Christians with right-wingers, or for that matter all manner of cargo cult behavior. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
This edit was clearly explained, but it was unconvincing:
I reverted precisely because the connection seems both straightforward and obvious to me. Perhaps this thread is needed in order to help clarify the unexpected disjunction.
I anticipated that some other diagram might be better, but I was unprepared for the rationale which rejects the diagrams entirely. This is puzzling; and I don't know how to respond in a constructive manner. --Tenmei (talk) 01:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
1. the example under congruent conflations header is one about idiom conflation again. should that be under the logical conflation header? ya know what I mean?
2. how many times can we say 'illustrative example'? are some examples [whether pertaining to conflation or anything else] not illustrative, or less illustrative?
I made some minor grammatical corrections on the piece where the language was confusing. Generally I just deleted an unneeded preposition or repeated word. Hopefully it is more easily read now? Here is one example of a change. Changed to read: "The "manner" of the scene, described by further context, would explain the true meaning of the sentence." From: "The "manner" of the scene, with further context, would further explain the true meaning of the sentence." The repeated use of the word "further" is unnecessary and confuses the text. joseph_setorius☊ ☼ 16:16, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
