Title[edit]

I think this instrument should be called "woodblock," not "wood block." Badagnani 04:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That might create some confusion, though. Bandgeek100 22:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

More generally, this article is currently full of both "wood block" and "woodblock" mentions. Should be changed to either one of those in all instances. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 11:19, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if we use one or the other, we can always use a redirect, so that is a non-issue. 219.79.194.253 (talk) 03:48, 23 July 2019 (UTC) Well I think that first term should be what this article should be, but we will ask everyone first.Kirsten Thomas1 (talk) 05:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More info added[edit]

I just added a bit more basic info about the woodblock/wood block instrument. There is much more info to be added still - just a question of knowing what to exclude. Could this info be referenced better? I have emailed Geoffrey Miller for permission to use his article. --Treeblock 00:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cuban clave[edit]

Should the Cuban clave instrument be mentioned as related? Pgan002 (talk) 05:10, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of it, and there does not appear to be a Wikipedia article on the subject. How does this Cuban instrument differ from the ordinary claves?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:18, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It got it's own page now, so this case is closed. 219.79.194.253 (talk) 03:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wood block → Woodblock (musical instrument) – Please discuss this on the talk page for this article. Kirsten Thomas1 (talk) 05:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support alternate move to Woodblock (instrument) per WP:NOPRIMARY and also support moving Woodblock (disambiguation) to Woodblock and redirecting Wood block to it._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Looking over the disambig page, this appears to be the primary topic, as we do not have on article on simply a block of wood. Rreagan007 (talk) 01:09, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Woodblock (instrument) per WP:NOPRIMARY. Also support the other moves suggested by ZXCVBNM. Claiming that a relatively obscure and uncommon interment is the primary is a bit of a stretch. I for one first think of the insult that someone is dumb as a block of wood, or just think of something you use as a paper weight... Anecdotal, yes, but there's a clear failure to establish a primary topic here, which makes a move justified. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
