Title

[edit]

Wouldn't rushing or rush (football) be a better title here? There is also a band named rush and that is actually what I expected this entry to be about. --mav

I added a few different uses of "rush"; it's almost a disambiguation page now. -- Merphant

Redirecting to Rush (band)

[edit]

I think [1] was a bad idea and I reverted it. My rationale: People are equally likely to be looking for the dictionary defition of "rush" as they do Rush Limbaugh or Rush (band) if they type "rush" and hit Go in the search box. For reference, Google gives on its first page of results for "rush": link to the dictionary definition, the band's website, RushLimbaugh.com, a medical centre, and a university. Which suggests people may be looking for any one of a lot of things when they come to the Rush page, not just the band. Kimchi.sg 09:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. With such a variety of meanings, there's no reason to assume that someone is most likley to be looking for the band. Ward3001 00:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese band

[edit]

where is the JAPANESE band rush? surely they are the #2 usage after the canadian one, no?!

A capella rush

[edit]

Yale University has a long-standing tradition of a capella rush, which often involves a greater time commitment than fraternity or sorority rush and is rather distinctive in forming the school's unique character. Would it be suitable for a capella rush to receive brief mention on this page? Does this practice occur at any other schools? Yitzhak1995 07:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest putting that on fraternities and sororities page. This is a disambiguation page that is primarily for navigation and not detailed information like that. (John User:Jwy talk) 13:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Fireman album

[edit]

I added it, since I got to this page looking for it and it was missing. Antichris (talk) 15:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Origins?

[edit]

I often come here looking for the original usage of a word, but find the content limited to slang or new usages. I beieve the term rush is first found in military vocabulary, perhaps also as a hunting term. It seems t me that to compile a useful reference, some thought should be given to a word's original meaning. Of course I understand that an encyclopedia is not a dictionary; nevertheless these omissions should be corrected. --APDEF (talk) 03:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
