Nautical[edit]
I'm not sure how this is for Wikipedia rather than Wiktionary, but I'd also expect that if should cover the nautical meaning, typically a post with an "eye" in one end that carries a rope. - Jmabel | Talk 03:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- es:Candelero (náutica) and stanchion are not the same things. Peter Horn User talk 14:58, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Railway[edit]
This artical needs railway stanchions added, there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of them around the world supprting the overhead power lines. 220.237.117.136 (talk) 02:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. I can not find a good annswer in overhead line, except for post. Peter Horn User talk 15:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- That would be a traction current pylon, too tall to be called a stanchion. Peter Horn User talk 21:35, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Ice Hockey[edit]
Despite how announcers use the term, is it actually the proper term? I'd like to see some references for that claim. Djmips (talk) 02:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
