Plural Terminology

This article opens with "plural boxen", while many of the sections use the term "boxes". This inconsistency is noticeable and should be fixed, replacing "boxen" or "boxes" with the appropriate term. 66.235.42.84 (talk) 05:26, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger?

Box is a rambling article which is is really just a disambiguation page with mostly links to main articles. It needs to be cleaned up but, better yet, it should be merged into Box (disambiguation).

Please post comments at: Talk:Box (disambiguation). Pkgx (talk) 00:41, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No comments or disagreement to merging is taking place'Pkgx (talk) 19:56, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Welcome to the party but it is over. I am sorry you missed the three invitations: proposal on Box, proposal on Box (disambiguation), and a proposal on the governing project: Wikipedia:WikiProject Containers.

I made a good start at merging two confusing articles and asked for other editors to make further improvements. No improvements were offered, just large reverts of everything; no discussion. Please explain.

We are back to two disambiguation pages, both of which are poorly written. If you want to make a positive contribution, please fix both of them. If you do not want to make improvements, then let the rest of us make valid attempts.

Box as container or package

This "Box" article is currently a mix of container information but also much other material on unrelated subjects and links. It would be best if Box was only related to the primary subjects of containers and packages. All other box related links should be on the Box Disambiguation Page. if needed, we might have to rename Box as “Box (container)" to clarify the content to readers. Comments?

I will start to move links unrelated to containers. The disambiguation page is a good home for them. Pkgx (talk)
This article is now focusing on a box as a package. a shipping container, or a storage container. Some clean up is needed. Additional material and references are needed. Other editors are welcome to contribute. Pkgx (talk) 14:24, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
