What was concluded by the results? Anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.159.115 ( talk) 20:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Can someone please explain what the opening sentence means by "two spiders called Arabella and Anita, two females of the cross variety". In particular, what are they a cross of? Thank you 147.70.153.227 16:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I think this most recent push for this article to be merged is nonsense. This article got a DYK, and I received a barnstar for it. It would not even it properly into the spiders article anyway! No, this is stupid, i wholeheartedly must disagree! ♣ ÅñôñÿMôús Dîššíd3nt 10:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I think a See Also is enough,as it also allows people to link to from the Animals in Space article.The article is exactly about spiders,its also about stuff in space User:Serprex 12:32, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
If there are no objections in the next week or so, im going to merge this article into spider webs. It seems a more appropriate place for it. Matt ( talk) 07:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
However, spider web is not a clogged article, and this would be much better suited to that article (as it is about spider webs). I believe i am support for the move myself though, and if it is such an unknown article it would be a better idea to move it to a place where it could be appreciated more. I am not suggesting the merge to harm the article, or bung it to the side, and i am sure there is no policy for merging two similar articles together (yes, sarcasm over the internet), but with the intent to improve it and to help the article and improve it with additional exposure, as i am sure this is a very notable topic.

If not for exposure then for ease of use, because as you said, this is an almost unknown article.
There are several good reasons to merge a page:
... 2. Overlap - There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe. For example, "Flammable" and "Non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on Flammability.
Why do you believe this article needs its own article, when it would fit perfertly under a subheading in spider webs. This is, of course, an article on spider webs. Can you give a reason why this article should stay on its own? Or is it just you feel personally clingy to it? Matt ( talk) 07:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
They fed them beef? How was this done? Do spiders recognize cold pieces of meat as food? Drutt ( talk) 18:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
