New to sections?[edit]

Can someone add these references to the page? I have no idea how to properly format them in Wikipedia style:

I'll deal with where to place them, I just need some sort of tags or something. Maybe dump them here, and I'll copy them over?

Types of gaits[edit]

Hi, I like the "jargon" in this article. Thank you, to whoever set it up. I've noticed a few redlinks like this one that need a home: double suspension gallop, so I'd like to add at least a note about the major types of gaits/gallops. I hope that fits in with the current content. --Hutcher (talk) 17:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm not sure that a dog's gait needs it's own article at: gait (dog), I put my content there. I'm not an expert on this topic so maybe the content is general enough to apply to other four-legged animals. --Hutcher (talk) 18:23, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

phase[edit]

Isn't phase usually measured as an angle? In other words, in units of degrees, or radians? It seems odd that the article measures it in percent.

It's largely a matter of tradition and ease of communication, especially since it's not *really* about a wave or rotating object, so one could also argue that it's a misuse of "phase", too. Still, that's the way it's reported in the gait papers, so it's best for us to keep with that format. HCA (talk) 13:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Gait cycle[edit]

Important info but not enough to stand alone. Will aid understanding of existing Gait article. Mattwheatley (talk) 02:00, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the contents of Gait Cycle should be merged into this page. HCA (talk) 22:35, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. If you read the articles carefully, the Gait Cycle should be moved into Bipedal gait cycle (doing it right now). The "Gait" article must have its own "gait cycle" definition, taken from a reliable reference.-M.Altenmann >t
Most of this article is based on the Hildebrand text in the references. The concept of a "gait cycle" is actually sufficiently general that it can include bipeds and quadrupeds, as well as anything else with any number of legs. The finer partitioning at Bipedal gait cycle is particular to bipedality, but easily subsumed into this article. HCA (talk) 14:44, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My thinking is that this is an overview article. IF the gait cycle material is only a few paragraphs and start-class or less, it could merge. On the other hand, one also could summarize the concept with a "Main" link to a more detailed article. I'm neutral because either way, I won't be the one to work on it. But I dtrongly DO favor being sure the two articles "talk" to each other so those who want to know about gait cycles can get there easily if there is no merge.

Linking to gaiety and gait, trying to seperate from happyness and gay or gay ness.[edit]

gaiety or gait may refer to:

/ɡāt/ noun a person's manner of walking. "the easy gait of an athlete" Similar: walk step stride pace tread manner of walking way of walking bearing carriage comportment way of holding oneself way of carrying oneself deportment the paces of an animal, especially a horse or dog."

gaiety use of word in article[edit]

Gaiety in the article Laetitia Wiki redirects to the happiness wiki article.

I feel like it has aspects to it's daintyness., or Gait a female sexy Version of swagger. (Gai"n"t or Gaint perhaps your call?.) But "I" don't think that's the same word as happy ness. *Because Gay*ness means happy*ness. It implies a childish of the feminin. But more so nature *a natural ~Aspect, than childish nature of the feminine form of a word, or form of the word. It can also be very masculine. If anything "a boyish gaynees to experience deers running through the forest" meaning the boy was happy. I would say Gia(e)nt like example ""her (gaintity Gaitety doesn't make sense)so" her gaiety flow like her dance moves when practicing ballet. "" I'm not going research but your call I feel either I'm right & it should go.

Definition dictionary, "gait /ɡāt/ noun a person's manner of walking. "the easy gait of an athlete" Similar: walk step stride pace tread manner of walking way of walking bearing carriage comportment way of holding oneself way of carrying oneself deportment the paces of an animal, especially a horse or dog." 

Gaiety,:The gaiety of the ballet dancer was beautiful like God's image come to us as a flower and flowed like water in a spring. (and made her happy maybe.)

That's my interpretation or definition. Which is why we don't use the word much, if its even a word otherwise it makes no sense to "me".


Definitely feminin. The only time I would use the MASCULINE example with humans would probably be athletics though because "gait /ɡāt/ noun a person's manner of walking. "the easy gait of an athlete" so Gaiety:pronounced Gay-ity emphasis on Gia*t and merge of e* iety examples, society and social or better example yet overanxiety and antianxiety it's a merge of words or concepts. So well *A.Gay and *B.many is a possible merge with iety it doesn't make sense, but *1.Gait and a *1.group or *1.groups with *2.Gait like *2.Ballet of *2.females does. With iety.The only time I would use the Masculine the example Gaiety or Gait with humans would probably be athletics Or the example would be swagger, stagger, way about him, but not gait it sorts of implies mystery with the masculine it's a mismatch. Example "his gait marked him well fed and dangerous but bold an almost cocky type showboating."So he's feminin implied by his gut and dangerous showboating and likely has atleast a counter or better without his gut and showboating gait or he himself would be better so he's feminine, but for an athlete perhaps implies giving away nothing in his mild manner gait. So he's meek or offer's no clues in the dictionary example of "the easy gait of an athlete. " But the words easy and athlete certianly denotionalize the notional value of the word alone or singular as "Gait" almost the same but more sensical and less insulting for a woman it doesn't have same implications like a belly or cockyness it's more natural like a ballet dancers moves.

Gaeitity attempts to process there doesn't seem there is a natural language processing available to imply "Gay:iety" that means it's broken. So it's a modern word, this Gay implication could be in the word. But Gay the noun is a boyish quality or masculine form of happyness another noun. while gait is a feminin Verb to imply a feminin stance like ballet and beauty. Or another implication being of a feminin Action:verb or gait:verb. So it's the same only in the sense of its something to watch that will make you happy but other implications like happyness in the word Gaiety if its a word at all are being taken out of context like perhaps happyness implied by the verb or as happy the noun being applied to Gaiety or Gay instead of Gait.In other words you don't have to be a fan of Society to be Social but one does imply happyness and the other doesn't.

So hyper-linking the word Gaiety to happyness cannot make any sense at all. Gaiety if it does imply Happyness it must be secondary to the implication of Gait I've provided from the dictionary. 209.171.85.150 (talk) 03:35, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add List of Gait Types[edit]

I'm interested in adding a section called Gait Types that would give a description of various gait types (e.g., walk, trot, gallop, etc.) While various gaits are mentioned in this article, it doesn't give a description of each one. Is this the best article to add such a list? Or, is there a better place to put the list. Once the list is added, then when other articles mention a particular gait, it can be linked here, so the description of the gait does not have to be repeated. Most of the info would be from Elbroch's "Mammal Tracks & Sign". Wanted to get people's opinions, as once I spend the time to create the list, I didn't want it to be immediately deleted if people thought it was not useful.
