[edit] Fuze

Hi Anomaly2002. I think Wes above made a good-faith mistake and thought you had inserted an edit that, in fact, you actually removed; it's an easy mistake to make when you're looking at diffs.

Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that I moved the "Fuze" article, about an obscure energy drink, to Fuze (beverage), and retargeted fuze itself to fuse (explosives), the primary meaning of the term, where the spelling differences are discussed. (Short summary: (a) everyone agrees that the thing they used to use in place of a circuit breaker is a "fuse" with an s, (b) the burning piece of string with gunpowder in it is usually "fuse" but occasionally "fuze", (c) the complicated triggering equipment inside bombs and grenades can also be spelled either way, but many sources use "fuze" distinctively for this equipment while spelling the burning string as "fuse".) From your edit summary (rv - Fuze /= Fuse) it's not clear to me whether you were attempting to make the distinction in part (c) or whether you wanted "Fuze" to mean the energy drink. If you want to make the distinction you should discuss it at talk:fuse (explosives). I would argue strongly against having fuze by itself point to the energy drink; the explosives meaning is immensely more prominent and widely used. --Trovatore 08:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
