C20th?

Image subtitle: c20th linchpin with integral sprung circlip retainer.

What's "c20th" supposed to mean? Maikel (talk) 07:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that it was the part number for that exact type, but it is not needed. I've removed it. Wizard191 (talk) 15:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RELEVANCE?

Nearly everyone has heard this word used, and 99.9 times out of 100 - it wasn't anything to do with holding wheels onto anything... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.103.88 (talk) 14:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Depends what field you work in. For the meaning you are referring to, please visit: wikt:linchpin. Wizard191 (talk) 15:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from the edit history, this article clearly needs a mention of the figurative definition of linchpin. Wizard191, if you feel the need to remove all references to the figurative definition, then you can figure out how to make that reference. However, figurative language that is in common use is commonly written about within articles, frequently with a disambiguation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dominicanpapi82 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a wiktionary link in the article; what more do you want? WP:NOTDICT states that Wikipedia articles are not dictionary entries. Period. Wizard191 (talk) 17:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
