The construction and use of a fishing weir is totally different from a fishtrap, why you want to merge? A fishtrap is a small cage made of chicken wire. The fishing weir is, well, a weir. -- Vuo 12:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I can't find any instances of of the term 'fishing weir' with a google search but quite a few for 'fish weir'. I propose changing the name of the article to 'Fish weir' as it seems to be the correct name and certainly the most commonly used. Richerman (talk) 11:54, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
I made a couple of edits to the article but I see user:Epipelagic has reverted some of them without discussion with the edit summary "remove image of incomplete weir which doesn't seem to have any point of historical or cultural interest". Before my edits the article had (and now has again) an image of Native Americans using a fish trap next to text about rock weirs in tidal races in the UK. The image I added of a scheduled ancient monument illustrates exactly what it says in the text - how is that not of historical or cultural interest? Also, I didn't remove the image that was already there, I merely moved it to the gallery so as not to clutter the article as I couldn't see anywhere it really belonged to illustrate the text. If the article were expanded to include a bit more about North American fish weirs then the image could go next to that text. However, to summarily delete an image from the article which someone has taken the time to upload, unless it is of particularly poor quality or inappropriate in some way, is extremely rude and not in the spirit of cooperation I expect of an established editor. I have undone Epipelagic's reversion and would hope there will be some discussion before my changes are reverted again. Richerman (talk) 19:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't know how I did it because I was in preview mode and didn't save but somehow I messed up a previous citation ref= "Nishmura" unfortunately I don't know how to find a previous version in order to fix it. If someone could fix it that would be great. Thanks! Elizabethfranklin ( talk) 17:15, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

The § Asia and Oceania section makes no mention of the well-documented fish weirs maintained by Australian Aborigines for centuries. They included some used for harvesting the annual eel migrations in south-west Victoria, and (IIRC) others used on NSW rivers. This is a significant omission. I may be able to correct it, but it won't be today; so please feel free to do so if you can. yoyo ( talk) 00:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
