include

Definition looks mangled. 75.105.7.157 18:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. An anonymous editor had moved the first definition to the end, but left its quotation at the beginning. (See include?diff=9936389.) I've now moved the quotation to follow the definition. —Ruakh_TALK 18:34, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

all the parts

Do not use include when mentioning all the parts of something; instead, you use comprise or consist of.

There are cases, however, in which include does not rule out a complete listing, as when the exact makeup is unknown or yet to be determined. Thus The bibliography should include all the articles you use leaves open including something other than articles.

The list may also be exhaustive if describing what is not included, as in We'll include only those with works within the last five years, since the set not included is implicitly defined as those artists who have not written works within the last five years. The same goes for explicit exclusions: My list includes everything you told me, and nothing else. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:08, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
