Obviously most words have their specific meaning and usage, and you are right in your comment, but I knew "eloquent" as a synonym of articulate, and I see that many thesaurus include it among other synonyms of articulate.

Please have a look at these:

http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/articulate
http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/articulate[adjective]
http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/articulate/
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Articulate

Anyway, to define the word without including synonyms, possible synonyms or related words, just "endowed with the power of speech".

So, in fact, your post at #2 was not at all helpful; giving, as it did, the misleading information that it had the one meaning that you attributed to it.

Is "eloquent" a synonym of "articulate" or not?

Obviously, all synonyms have specific meaning and implications, but they are synonyms because they mean pretty much the same thing with only a tiny difference or because they converge on a same meaning.

If so, my first post includes a synonym in the description as a way of facilitating its understanding, where the two of them refer to an effective user of language.
