99.73.126.24 (talk) 20:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC) the phalanges redirect to a Korean government.[reply]

Danprater (talk) 20:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC) There are 3 phalanges of the thumb. The image at top has 4. If someone has a proper cartoon of the human hand, please insert it (or specify that this image is from some kind of weird alien).[reply]

[edit]
Sorry no, the image at the top clearly shows the thumb has two phalanges (and a metcarpal bone). --Fama Clamosa (talk) 21:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

[edit]

Hello to all! I am proposing a merge from the following articles into this article:

This is for the following reasons:

  • These three articles are small and there is significant crossover of information (see eg [Distal phalanges]])
  • The main article and the content in general would benefit significantly from having all this information in one place. This would allow an article to reflect on the nature of these in context, rather than in isolation.
  • This topic shouldn't be obscured by virtue of being on six separate pages (this page, the three I have proposed, and Phalanges of the hand and Phalanges of the foot)
  • These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article, which will hopefully improve the content and article's overall quality.
  • The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.

Kind Regards, LT910001 (talk) 05:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Phalanges of the foot

[edit]

Unnecessary and fragmented to have separate articles, could easily be presented on the main phalanx article. Fragmentation reduces quality and leads to needless duplication of content. LT910001 (talk) 02:38, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Phalanx bonePhalanges – TA Latin synonym and English equivalent. More often referred to even in merged pages. Google hits show 470K for phalanx and 660K for phalanges. Even Wiki entry comes up as phalanges. Iztwoz (talk) 19:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting article for separation of foot phalanges

[edit]

I suggest we separate the article for phalanges of the foot, you do not merge metacarpals with metatarsals, you are not supposed to merge scalp hair with pubic hair, so I would propose we make a separate article for phalanges of foot and the hand. DrJanaOfficial (talk) 18:18, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be a very good idea. Maybe have a look at the page history since it could have come about as a merger of these two articles at some time. JakobSteenberg (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name ?

[edit]

When I studied anatomy at school (1970), the singular was "phalange". When did this change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.176.143.183 (talk) 07:26, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
