Talk:Luck

Latest comment: 12 years ago by Mukkakukaku in topic Ships called enterprise

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Luck page.


There are too many quotes without any attributions. And for me, it is not clear their notability as quote. How do you think to remove those anonymous quotes? --Aphaia 20:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Removed. --Aphaia 10:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Merge from fortune edit

As tagged, I think it better to merge fortune it into luck.

  • Fortune is originally a Latin word meaning luck, and in my understanding quotes now listed on that article seem to refer to this notion. The English Wikipedia w:Fortune is a disambiguation, and the notion that article covers seems to be described under the name of w:luck.

So how about merging that article into this, luck? How do you think, folks? --Aphaia 10:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Merged. --Aphaia 08:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Other? edit

Shouldn't there be more?

For example, there are quotes about the Master Chief from Halo, about how he's so lucky.

Ships called enterprise edit

There's a Star Trek quote in here that I'm almost positive is wrong. The quote should be "fate protects fools, small children, and ships named Enterprise," not luck. --Mukkakukaku 14:54, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
