Disambiguate, link, combine?

There is already Altitude, which also is something of a placeholder but with a navigation and engineering focus. See also Bearing (direction).

I'm open to edits, but these certainly should cross-link and possibly merge. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I think they are different things. Richard Pinch 21:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
At the very least, they need to disambiguate. That means a seealso on the first definition, or renaming it; there are quite a number of existing links to altitude so renaming might be painful.

I'd already created Altitude (disambiguation) and put an otheruses tag on Altitude. What else are you suggesting? Richard Pinch 21:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
