::::Oddrune - Some of individual statements you make are true, but that doesn't make bauxite significant to, or add anything relevant to, an article on '''magnetite'''. It makes them both central to an article on what you call "sheets", but are in fact [[large clusters]] in DF. Raccoons and kobolds are both "thieves" - should we include a complete discussion of raccoons in the kobold article? Should we add a discussion of blowguns to siege weapons because they are both "missile weapons"? No, of course not. | ::::Oddrune - Some of individual statements you make are true, but that doesn't make bauxite significant to, or add anything relevant to, an article on '''magnetite'''.

::::What's more, bauxite and sylvite are '''not''' ores, they are stone - at least in Dwarf Fortress, and this is the DF wiki, a sort of manual for that game, not a RL encyclopedia. In DF, stone is not an "unprocessable ore" - the definition of an [[ore]] is that it ''is'' processable at a smelter into metal bars. Bauxite? Sylvite?... Not so much. As Edward says, this is not a RL encyclopedia - and even if it were, this article is on "magnetite", not sheets, not ores, not anything else. You need to consider the difference between "an element of something" and "a relationship between two different things" - the color red is an element of fire engines, but an article on fire engines should not to include, nor even have links to, everything else that is also "red". --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 04:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | ::::What's more, bauxite and sylvite are '''not''' ores, they are stone - at least in Dwarf Fortress, and this is the DF wiki, a sort of manual for that game, not a RL encyclopedia.
