The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.

Noun sense 9: "a barrier to vision". We already have separate senses for "a barrier" (e.g. seawall, firewall) and "something with the apparent solidity and dimensions of a building wall". Equinox ◑ 03:59, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- I suppose a wall of smoke need not appear "solid" (it can still be obvious that it's smoke and could be walked through), nor does it—or any of the usexes under sense 10—have to have the "dimensions" of a building wall. But probably this is better handled by revising sense 10 like "Something with the apparent solidity, opacity, or
anddimensions [...]"; I think you're right that this isn't distinct from the other senses. - -sche (discuss) 04:20, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Failed; I tweaked the sense below it as I suggested, to cover non-solid "walls of smoke". - -sche (discuss) 17:22, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
