Moreover, I changed Solitaire (disambiguation) to list the more specific uses that are given here. I can't see that anything has been gained by reverting my change. Since we already have Solitaire (disambiguation), I just redirected this there. This is the purpose of disambiguation pages. Its only real purpose is to distinguish the various games that may be known as "solitaire". It's mostly little bits about the card subgenre and specific solitaire games - information that belongs in the respective articles.Īs such, this article is redundant. But there isn't any real information here that relates to solitaire games in general. OK, so it has a general meaning in relation to games: tabletop games played by a single person. This article is primarily about one thing: the term "solitaire" as it relates to games. TimNelson ( talk) 06:39, 10 February 2011 (UTC) Reply List of Solitaire Card Games? 82.42.230.211 ( talk) 13:56, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Reply There are many single player board games referred to as solitaire, maybe it would be better if this paged just described solitaire games as games (usually board or card games) which have a single player and have links to the various games known as solitaire, this page could be renamed patience or Solitaire(Card Game)- 91.125.102.152 ( talk) 19:37, (UTC) Reply Since "Patience" is defined as "Solitaire with Cards", I've moved all the card-specific content to Patience (game), and repurposed this article to be about solitaire tabletop games in general. Anyone agreeing please go ahead and move the page. Under this guideline this page should be moved to patience and replaced with either peg solitaire or a disambig. For example, use alternative route (or even other route) rather than alternate route, since alternate may mean only "alternating" to a British English speaker." In some English speaking countries solitaire is ambiguous and could mean either peg solitaire or patience. According to the style guide section on National varieties of English under Opportunities for commonality "Use an unambiguous word or phrase in preference to one that is ambiguous because of national differences. Furthermore, its most popular variant has an alternative name of Solitaire. Or perhaps move the peg game to peg solitaire? Which is the more common usage over the world as a whole? ~~~~ 15:58, (UTC) Although both Patience and Solitaire are actually the same stuff, the word Patience applies only to countries which use British English (such as the UK and Australia). Solitaire is also a name of a game played with pegs and holes in the shape of a cross: perhaps the card game should be moved to Card Game, and an entry on Solitaire put here? Dave McKee
