Talk:Exposure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't exposure principally what you can die of in the cold? -- Tarquin

Yes, we need a top level entry for exposure and other entries for exposure (photographic), exposure (weather), exposure (radiation), perhaps even exposure (vacuum). I'd do it if I had more than a few hours of experience with this wiki thingy. Jeremy

No problem. Someone will come along and write it eventually. Welcome to the Wikipedia, BTW :-) -- Tarquin

Done! Jeremy

I changed Perseus to Oedipus as an example of a Greek exposed child, because Perseus wasn't really abandoned by himself, but rather sent off with his mother (ok, so it was in a box...). I'm not too happy with Oedipus either, though, because he's not a hero. Does anybody know any better examples? Benji man

I think Oedipus works fine. He fits much of the Greek definition of hero. 68.48.137.87 00:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I have disambiguated almost all links pointing here. The remaining ones almost exclusively refer to the first meaning. I've added a link to hypothermia. Are there any other articles related to fatal exposure to the elements? - Magnus Holmgren 19:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
