neighbourhood police post

Surely this isn't a police box, as in a police call box, merely a neighbourhood police post, i.e. a smaller version of a police station where members of the public can seek help from a real person rather than using it to call for assistance? --khaosworks 21:29, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Which is what British police boxes originally were - officers actually used them to sit in to have their breaks, do paperwork, and be accessible to the public. So it is a police box as much as they were. -- Necrothesp 22:32, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

merge proposed

The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it.

Merge tag has been placed. I keep thinking to myself that if a Japanese user of the Japanese Wikipedia is reading the equivalent article over there and wants to see how a police box is described in English (by clicking on the English link on the left side of the Japanese article)...we'd be doing that user a great disservice by leading them to a page that only shows the Japanese version of things. --Roehl Sybing (talk) 04:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the merge proposal suggests discussing it at Talk:Police box, I've started a discussion section there. Fg2 (talk) 10:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
