Spectra fiber

Please leave the redirect. This article already exists under Dyneema. Mapetite526 20:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dyneema is not the same thing as Spectra. Dyneema and Spectra are brand names. Dyneema does not represent the technology. I will continue to change the redirect or, we need to all agree to eliminate brand name pages like Kevlar, Dyneema and just list everything under the technology: UHMWPE (which already exisits).

Please try to discuss this issue instead of trying to enforce your own view. You may be right, but unless you convince the other editors who are maintaining the Dyneema article, no satisfactory resolution will be had. The place to have this discussion is at Talk:Dyneema, since (regardless of the outcome) it is the page at the center of this issue right now. You are welcome to make changes to the article, but unless everyone comes to a consensus on what the article should say about Spectra vs Dyneema, removing "Spectra" from the lead is a change that is unlikely to "stick", and this is bad for the article. — Saxifrage ✎ 21:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. But this is very clear and there seems to be a misunderstanding. I have posted the differences in the Dyneema discussion.
