• Sorry I didn't see the mouse trap article before writing mine, but I think mine is better structured.

• I still don't like the language of this article. I tried to clean it up, but it's hard. I propose merging into mouse trap. --Storkk 21:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Make that keep this article's structure, and use mousetrap's information --Storkk 21:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• to Cuzandor: please watch your language.. and for the article, the rat trap should indicate differences from the mouse trap under a section. The electronic thingy should also be a different section under the mouse trap article--70.68.43.50 04:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• The two articles cover the same concept; the only difference is the scale of the device. Both of the traps in the rat trap article have scaled-down counterparts in the mouse trap article. The mouse trap article is better written to meet Wikipedia's standards of quality. Please merge the rat trap article into the mouse trap one.

• Redirect, mousetrap is more complete than Rat trap. I suggest we simply redirect Rat trap to mousetrap and add a section saying that Rat traps are larger than mouse traps. Clerks. 20:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The photo's claption describes it as a rat trap, but the scale appears to me to be a mouse trap.207.69.137.23 03:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"Rat trap" does not fit well on the "mousetrap" page and the photo of a rat trap is not expected on a mousetrap page. This is a new page make with completely new wording and a new photo linked. Snowman (talk) 12:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
