Notes

Should we create a disambiguation page for e.g. trek bicycle company? 198.125.160.32 (talk) 15:16, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious: is this word related to the word "drag"? It seems like it could be, but I can't find any information on that. -Branddobbe 22:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

most likely, just as track, draw, truck, latin trahere —Preceding unsigned comment added by Echosmoke (talk • contribs) 21:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Himalayan treking

Why do the Himalayan Mountains deserve their own section in this article? Trekking, as I understand it, is enjoyed on 6 continents more or less equally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.201.173.181 (talk) 16:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Though I created the section but I support you, I think someone must start other sections of trekking in different continents. You know, I created the section with a hope that seeing the section other users might also start similiar sections, thus the status of the article.--Soumit Banerjee (talk) 08:06, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Article or Dab page

I don't get it. Is this an article or a dab page? I came to put a hatnote for Trek Bicycle Corporation. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Well said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.187.43.39 (talk) 05:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Trekker

While creating a new article earlier, I added the wikilink trekker to the page and was a little surprised to discover that the link redirected to Trekkie, the Star Trek fan article. I caught it in time and manually directed the link to here where I wanted it, but I was wondering if Trekkie was really the best destination for that default redirect. It is my understanding that "trekker" is a legitimate word meaning - One who treks; thus, a hiker. I ran this issue by at the Trekkie talk page, but I am not very optimistic about any response I might get from there. I admitt there is an argument to be made for trekker to redirect to trekkie. Any thoughts? Where is the best place to raise issues about redirects? Racerx11 (talk) 03:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Trekken, South Africa / Dutch

I think we should attribute the Dutch for the word 'trekken' because it is also stated in the oxfordictionary that it originates from south africa dutch. And 'trekken' itself is a Dutch word. I would say, the word 'trek' originates from the Dutch 'trekken' but commonly used in South Africa / Africa. The Dutch once colonized the South Africa as far as I know, hence the South Africa also speak dutch. Rezonjov (talk) 09:20, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Page move

This article is about the verb, not the noun, just as Hiking is not called Hike and Swimming is not called Swim. I will move this page to Trekking unless there are objections. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
