thread_title: Better?

message: The article is self-contradictory: it says that the state of the home influences the behavior of the people in it and then says that the character of the people in the home influences the state of the home. Does the home influence its inhabitants or vice versa? Is there some sort of source for this? Theshibboleth 08:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say a home influences its inhabitants while the inhabitants can modify the home as they see fit. Why must it be either/or? And no, I couldn't find a source for any of that stuff, but I would think at the least that it makes sense. Maybe I'll expand the psychology section with references if I have time... I'll put this on that pesky to-do list.  Ben Tibbetts 00:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: While it is not a citing for the idea itself, adding an implied reference to Patch Adams at least verifies the claim as being something other than original research. Now comes the question of whether it is POV or an accepted theory... I will look into this. Ben Tibbetts 20:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Refugees from homes flee where such extreme forms of quasi-nuisance occur such as harassment and religious persecution, who may seek a sheltered housing refuge or place of asylum respectively. 
Which is a clumsy and inaccurate sentence to 
Refugees are people who have fled their homes due to violence or persecution. They may seek temporary housing in a shelter or they may claim asylum in another country in an attempt to relocate permanently.

thread_title: Why is this page still locked???

message: This article is about dual use of spaces available at various sites like theaters, malls, warehouses, lofts, out- houses, mezzanine floors, garages. 
This simply modifies the utility of spaces for just a small portion of the day/ night  time. 
Example situations = 
* when one may have to stay away from home for work. In such cases we can comfortably use chairs of cinema halls , 
* vast spaces in warehouses, modified lofts/ mezzanines of homes or shopping areas  at night. 
These spaces can easily accommodate fold-able furniture / multi-functional furniture and even assembled / knock-down furniture. This can solve accommodation issues as well as a time savoir.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaku Vaghela (talk • contribs) 06:54, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dual use of Spaces 

message: "Please Change:"
A home, or domicile, is a living space used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for an individual, family, household or several families in a tribe. It is often a house, apartment, or other building, or alternatively a mobile home, houseboat, yurt or any other portable shelter. A principle of constitutional law in many countries, related to the right to privacy enshrined in article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the inviolability of the home as an individual's place of shelter and refuge.
Homes typically provide rooms, areas, and facilities for sleeping, preparing food, eating and hygiene. Larger groups may live in a housing cooperative, nursing home, children's home, convent or any similar living arrangement or institution. A homestead also includes agricultural land and facilities for domesticated animals. Where more secure dwellings are not available, people may live in the informal and sometimes illegal shacks found in slums and shanty towns. More generally, "home" may be considered to be a geographic area, such as a town, village, suburb, city, or country.
"Which doesn't touch upon the concept of home as the wikipedia page states it should, to:"
A home, or domicile, is a space used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for an individual, group or family. It is a fully or semi sheltered space and can have both interior and exterior aspects to it.
Homes provide sheltered spaces for instance rooms, where domestic activity can be performed such as sleeping, preparing food, eating and hygiene as well as providing spaces for work and leisure such as remote working, studying and playing.
Physical forms of homes can be static such as a house or an apartment, mobile such as a houseboat, trailer or yurt or digital such as virtual space. The aspect of ‘home’ can be considered across scales, from the micro scale showcasing the most intimate spaces of the individual dwelling and direct surrounding area to the macro scale of the geographic area such as town, village, city, country or planet.
A principle of constitutional law in many countries, related to the right to privacy enshrined in article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights  is the inviolability of the home as an individual's place of shelter and refuge.
The concept of ‘home’ has been researched and theorized across disciplines - topics ranging from the idea of home, the interior, the psyche, liminal space, contested space to gender and politics. Such topics can be found in the writings of Gaston Bachelard, Jean Baudrillard, Mrs Isabella Beeton, Pierre Bourdieu, Beatriz Colomina, Le Corbusier, Mary Douglas, Diana Fuss, Dolores Hayden, Martin Heidegger, Henri Lefebvre, Edith Wharton amongst many others. Discussions of home can help better understand and challenge perceptions of self and the extension of self.
Places of residence do not necessarily correlate with associations to the home; the home is comprised of a physical space as well as an emotional and physiological relationship, where memory, comfort, activity and familiarity are some of the many important factors in the construction of home. Amongst being a space of domestic activity the home in the 21st century has appropriated new meanings with the advance of technology, therefore enabling multiple activities to be performed within a singular space. The home blurs boundaries of the domestic, the professional and the leisurely and conceptually becomes an amorphous space.
The home as a concept expands beyond residence as contemporary lifestyles and technological advances redefine the way the global population lives and works. DianaVS2 (talk) 13:17, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

message: DMT Biscuit I think that the new additions to the articles are great, however, it would be even better if less quotations are used. It may also help to remove the excerpts and replace them with content, as doing so would increase in page size significantly. (Archival context: WP:30 kB drive). CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 11:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:   I certainly feel that the excerpts should be removed as they stand as redundant, obtrusive to edit and mostly irrelevant. Reduction of quotations, I find, is advisable but usually happens later on as more literature/context is added. There are also cases such as the Coke quote where the proper context requires the quote. I also err on the side of quotations for exceptional or contentious claims - such as women's place at home.
