message: Outdoor relief redirects here. Outdoor relief is a (predominantly 19th century) term for social security to be contrasted with indoor relief which involved people who required assistance receiving it in workhouses. That's more or less all that can be said about outdoor relief - not enough for its own article but there's no sensible place for it in this one without creating a huge 'history of social security' section, which I haven't the knowledge to do. Suggestions? See Talk:Poor Law for why this came up --Cherry blossom tree 21:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The hatnote is unnecessary and provides undue weight these programs174.3.99.176 (talk) 02:56, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Many people think "Social Security" means the name of the social security program in their own country.  They come here looking for information about that specific program.  The hatnote enables them to go immediately to the article they really want, without having to wade through this entire article and get to the "See also" section.

replies: text: OK, let's have the hatnote list all and only the national programs that have "Social Security" in their titles.  In the body of the text, delinking Social Security (United States) makes the link less useful to the reader; repetitive linking is allowed where the earlier link occurred some distance away in a different section.  So we should re-link that reference and add a section about "Social security around the world" or the like, which would have all the wikilinks to articles about national programs, with no such links in "See also".  That should be less work than it sounds like.  I'll tackle it tomorrow. JamesMLane t c 23:49, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose a new page entitled social floor.  This concept, also known as a social minimum, is a policy that falls under social protection. The basic idea of a social floor is that there is a minimum level of human rights and social services that all human beings should have access to.  On the Social Floor page, I will address what is included in a social floor, the arguments for and against a social floor, and proposed policies on how a social floor would be implemented.

message: I found the beginning of this article confusing. In order to grab a student or average persons attention who is searching the internet, I would start off with a more simplistic defined term of social security.  For instance, Merriam Webster defines social security as, 
": a program in which the government provides money to people who are unable to work because they are old, disabled, or unemployed
: a program in the U.S. that requires workers to make regular payments to a government fund which is used to make payments to people who are unable to work because they are old, disabled, or retired
: money that is paid out through a social security program" 
I feel this definition of social security is more clear and easier for the reader to grasp.

message: This para is hard to understand:
 In simple terms, the signatories agree that society in which a person lives should help them to develop and to make the most of all the advantages (culture, work, social welfare) which are offered to them in the country. 
Also its source is 404: http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/humanrights/resources/plain.asp 
The original quote was:
The society in which you live should help you to develop and to make the most of all the advantages (culture, work, social welfare) which are offered to you and to all the men and women in your country
which is way better than:
the signatories agree that society in which a person lives should help them...
who should help whom? signatories? society? the person?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diggpthoo (talk • contribs) 09:02, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
