Palisades or Palisides?

I'm not sure, but which is correct if not both? I've always heard of it spelled "palisides" until i was learning about Native American defences, which called them "palisades". So I'm just wondering on that...99.248.191.107 (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Palanka - Ottoman type wooden fortress

Hello, I have been developing Turkish article "palanka". It was a Ottoman type fortress used in Balkans and Ukraine. The closest word in meaning to palanka is "stockade" but since stockade is not a wooden fortress that belongs to a spesific nation, I also develop the article "palanka" as its more general meaning, altough some English sources do not translate it and refer it as simply "palanka". Castle was a type of stone fort used in Europe. Do you think "palanka" should also have a seperate page or should it be treated as a stockade.

The other question is I sometimes use the words stockade and palisade a little bit interchangebly. For example, would you consider a palisaded settlement a stockade (like the The Kincaid Site in this article) or can a motte and bailey castle be considered a kind of stockade? --Visnelma (talk) 02:34, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Palisade vs Pale Fence

There seems to be confusion in several of the "type of fence" articles. What is described in this article is definitely correct for the word "palisade". That is, I don't see anything wrong with the article itself. However, the automatic redirect of "pale fence" to this article is wrong. Pale fences are NOT strictly a palisade, though a palisade could be considered a specific form of pale fence.

Take a good look at any of the various search engines for images when you input "pale fence". Modern usage of "pale fence" is something that looks a lot like a picket fence (finished vertical boards with a horizontal board rail, which may or may not have the vertical boards planted in the ground), or is a collection of vertical unfinished stakes with wire used to support them. The images are both current and historical, so people should have a pretty good view of what a pale fence did and does look like, and they DON'T show anything like what this article describes as a palisade.

Both of these forms of "pale fence" fail on the primary requirement of a palisade: they are NOT in any way intended as a defensive fortification. They aren't used as such now, and haven't been in the past. These forms of pale fences are property enclosure fences. The "picket fence" type is used in pretty much the same way as true picket fences are (residential ornamental), while the stake-and-wire version are for livestock enclosures.

The reality is that we need a "Pale Fence" article, and should NOT be redirecting that to here. I've come from several other fence articles which reference "pale fence" and then show a fence which is NOT a palisade in any form, but the link to "pale fence" goes to "palisade".

I think overall there should be a Pale Fence article which encompasses building a fence from pales, but does NOT have the stipulation that they are of a defensive nature. A pale fence with a defense nature is a palisade, but a pale fence which doesn't have a defensive nature is NOT a palisade, and the latter needs to be described in a distinct article.

How do we agree on removing the Pale Fence redirect, and creating a whole new stub article for it? Trims2u (talk) 22:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
