Pull (physics)[edit]

Redirect harmlessly to force. One of the first definitions a physics student sees for force is "a push or a pull." --1pezguy 03:13, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

But there are so many other meanings to the word "pull". Kelly Martin 03:54, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

The only meaning that's encyclopedic is force. But that's being difficult just for the purpose of being difficult. --1pezguy 04:13, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

It also has a meaning in computer science. The assembly commands for dealing with the stack (computing) are often pull and push, although "pop" is used more often instead of pull. Grue 05:48, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. It doesn't matter how many dictionary definitions it has, they all belong in Wiktionary. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Disambig between Stack (computing), force, should also be in pickup but unfortunately that redirects to seduction. Kappa 10:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, in Stack (computing), the opposite of 'push' is 'pop'. So I'd say redirect to force. R adiant _* 13:51, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Moved to Pull (physics), but should still be disambiged. Denni☯ 03:06, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
- But you didn't up-date this page... tsk, tsk. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:59, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - OK, it's done. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
