This sentence is broken imho, probably a part is missing. What happened to the kings? Should that read:

message: Should the article include a statement on the fact that there are several reports on the sexual exploitation of Devadasis and them being forced into prostitution in the modern era. Previously included statement on this that has been reverted - "But there are reports they are sexually exploited by the community in modern times."

Talk:Liquor store

message: While the term "Off license" is related to a shop's ability to sell alcohol, this does not mean that shops which term themselves "Off licenses", at least here in the UK -- which I believe is the centre of gravity for this terminology -- resemble in any way the Liquor stores that are the focus of this article. Liquor is very much a minority of what Off Licenses here sell -- they sell a wide variety of foodstuffs, cleaning products, basic toiletries and stationary supplies, etc. They are far more analogous to mini-mart, superette, or especially a New York-style Bodega than to a liquor store.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.29.120.39 (talk) 11:29, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed un-merge of "Off license" 

message: The distinction is murky given that the beer shop article concedes that beer shops can sell wine as well. There's also an WP:ENGVAR problem in that bottle shop redirects to liquor store because the two are synonyms in a lot of the world, but in the UK a bottle shop specialises in craft beer. This would be resolved by the merger. 
Also the beer shop article is pretty skimpy and half of it is about licensing which is covered in more depth by the main liquor store article. FlagSteward (talk) 21:20, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Spearhead (band)

message: This article needs to clear up. It seems as if it were taken from a fan bio.
—
i was bold and merged Spearhead with Michael Franti. when it comes down to it, Spearhead only existed by iteself for two albums, and every album since then has been "Michael Franti & Spearhead." Spearhead was a very short stub, and all the Spearhead content was already duplicate on the Michael Franti page aside from two external web links. perhaps later someone will want to creat a more complete history of the band and its changing crew over time in which case i'd suggest the page be called "Michael Franti & Spearhead" as the majority of the albums are credited to that name.

Maybe the grammar is unclear. Please add a citation so I can get an alternative perspective on what this objective was, and what steps the designers took to meet this goal.
