It seems not all the noun senses here are necessary. If they are, they're really badly worded. 4, for example, links to a verb form. -- Liliana • 04:36, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- I have no idea what #4 means, but everything else seems more or less ok. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:47, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Unclear noun sense distinction edit
What is the difference between "violent pressure, as of a moving crowd" and "a violent crowding"? I was going to merge them, but they have different translations in Finnish. Equinox ◑ 14:24, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

- cited. I'm sure there are more (and probably better) quotes out there, but this is a very difficult one to search for because of all of the other meanings of crush. Kiwima (talk) 00:14, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, that seems in order.__Gamren (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Can confirm "I was crushing at the time" etc. is definitely real. I see the indefatigable Kiwima has come up with the goods already. Equinox ◑ 00:34, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
