"rubber" = condom

edit

In common American slang, 'rubber' is used as a synonym for a condom. Should that be mentioned here? Possibly with a link to condom. T-bonham (talk) 18:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

If this article was about a prophylactic then sure, but prophylactically adding that phrase serves no purpose. The rubber link redirects to the appropriate non–American term.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 01:28, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
I believe that it should be in some way mentioned, at least when searching "rubber" on Wikipedia. 89.161.45.37 (talk) 13:38, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
It's already mentioned at Rubber (disambiguation). By the way, please don't change spellings from one correct version of English to another without good reason. See WP:ENGVAR for our policy. Dbfirs 15:12, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary advertising

edit

On Wikipedia, no advertising is able to be on a page, right? If so, why is the sample of an eraser erasing an error in the name “Wikipedia”? This is very hypocritical. Cheers, Submarine112 Mister <small>Sub</small><big>marine</big> (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Microplastic?

edit

Should the environmental effects of producing and using erasers, especially the types made of plastics be mentioned? The crumbs of micro plastic from used erasers can easily be spread to the local environment... 2A05:F6C2:5FF:0:F5FA:7539:F2DF:318E (talk) 07:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

If reliable sourcing can be shown to support a claim that eraser crumbs are a significant source of microplastics persisting in the environment, that could be mentioned. I suspect that erasers' contribution is orders of magnitude less than that of textiles and tires, to mention two prominent sources of this kind of pollution.
