On title

Current title is Crystal (geology). But, are there other possible meanings for crystal? And, aren't crystals about physics as well? I suggest to switch the title to simply Crystal, but some native English speaker should check out this before. --Nereo Preto 02:04, 7 February 2008 (CST)

Check the disambig page for Crystal; I think there are other uses which justify the naming of the article this way. --Robert W King 09:11, 7 February 2008 (CST)
The disambiguation page only shows this meaning of crystal and the glassware meaning. Aside from "crystal meth" and "Crystal" as a brand name, I can't think of other uses, and I think this use is far more prevalent - enough that we should have crystal (disambiguation) for other uses, with the link to the disambig page at the top of this article.

Gallery

Anthony, would it be possible to move the crystal structures over to the gallery page? It's true that crystalline structures are largely dependant on the molecular arrangement, but I don't think the article should be that sole focus. --Robert W King 12:40, 7 February 2008 (CST)
