Drag should also refer to "Dragging" a river or body of water for evidence or bodies.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.157.21 (talkcontribs)

I must say that I think the part about dragging the mouse is irrelevant.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.211.107 (talkcontribs)

These were all removed per MoS:DP because dab pages are to link to actual articles that might be confused b/c they share the same or similar names. These are all dicdefs that don't belong on the page unless they have their own articles.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedernst (talkcontribs) 02:57, December 2, 2005

Although "Drag, slang for a deep inhalation of a cigarette" is pretty much a dicdef too I decided to add it because it differs from most of the above by "drag" being another name for "inhalation", and that's exactly what is linked, thereby avoiding any possible confusion. By that same argument, the above listed "dredge" probably could have stayed in as well, though under the new section heading titled "Police drag" which actually mentions the word 'drag' this time. Anyways, if anyone disagrees let me know. -- œ 12:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please add drag queen and drag king. Benjiboi 09:51, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't drag redirect to drag hunting?

Shouldn't Drag redirect to Drag (physics) and this page be at Drag (disambiguation)? --AnY FOUR! (talk) 00:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you'll get agreement that is the main destination for those looking for "drag". I would support directing most here and having hatnotes on all related articles.
