thread_title:  Cable franchise? 

message: The primary trade association for franchising issues, the International Franchise Association, defines franchising as "continuing relationship in which the franchiser provides a licensed privilege to do business, plus assistance in organizing, training, merchandising, and management" in exchange for fees
and royalties from the franchisee.
In other words, franchising is the process of expanding a business whereby a company (franchisor) grants a license to an independent business owner (franchisee) to sell its products or render its services.
A franchise, therefore, is a legal agreement permitting a business to furnish a product, name, trademark, or idea to an independent business owner. Each party of a franchise agreement gives up some legal rights to gain others. The franchisor increases its number of outlets and gains additional income. The franchisee opens an established business with strong potential for success.
Franchising offers people a chance to own, manage, and direct their own business without having to take all the associated risks.
This aspect has allowed many people to open businesses of their own who might never have done so otherwise.

thread_title: earlier comments

message: I won't even try to do anything with this, but wanted to raise the subject - is there a structure intended for this topic and the various categories under it? What is the thinking, what are the plans?
It seems that anything having to do with African ethnicities and countries will lead to a logical solution that might also be cumbersome. THat is, so many groups are cut by borders. On the one hand, that's no problem - you add x group to a,b, & c countries "Ethnic groups of..." categories. But on the other, it is logical to consider the group as an Ethnic group of Africa, or at least of a region of the continent. That could add another layer of category to all ethnic groups on the continent - which maybe is okay, but it isn't done systematically.
What makes this more complicated (and a bit confounding) is that there are also larger groupings like Nguni or Manding that are accepted meta-categories - "meta-ethnicities" without the term - that cross even more country boundaries, add yet another level of categorization, and open the question of trees or hierarchies in the Category page - which could certainly help readers/researchers, even if it's not the way the wiki works.
Another possibility might be more dynamic ways of categorizing, which shift, a little like when you have a large set of pairs of correspondences in a spreadsheet/table format and can alphabetize by one column and have related items in proximity according to that column's logic, and then by the other column and shift the order to reflect that column's logic. (A simple example is a list of x-y language word pairs and realphabetizing according to language x or y; in this case I'm thinking of some conceptual/categorical differences, not alphabetic order)
I have no recommendation here but am thinking that some more thought needs to be given to this, especially if it is hoped that a lot more people will contribute more info.--A12n 20:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

"A disconcerting sound is present at the end of the track, which, after sometime increases in volume until then next track "Over and Over" begins.[9]"
That's not correct, because "Physical Attraction" closed Side A of the album, on the vinyl and CD section. It was never mixed together with "Over And Over", which opens Side B of the album and starts "Clean" on both vinyl and CD versions (cassettes are the same).

replies: text: Thanks. Fan sites, pages, blogs aren't reliable sources whether or not an artist posted on one. Even if fan sites could be reliable sources, such a comment is not stating that there is a legal surname change, only using a common expression that indicates the person got married. If a fan page is why the name in the lead intro was changed then this change is not supported by a reliable source, failing WP policies WP:V and WP:OR, which is especially stringent for WP:BLPs. Lacking a reliable source stating that Lee changed her surname, the lead intro needs to state her birth name, which is the name she continues to go by on her official social media and is widely known for and referred to by reliable sources.
