Talk:Welfare reform

message: The article is almost entirely unencyclopaedic in it's current form.  The only bit that belongs is "Welfare reform refers to the process of reforming the framework of social security and welfare provisions."  Examples should be done away with because welfare reform isn't a singular phenomenon, it can move in either direction or laterally.  The examples from Britain and France should be split into articles on the British and French welfare systems respectively - and/or one on public welfare generally, but not on "welfare reform" specifically - and the rest of the article is just plain waffle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.137.137 (talk) 09:49, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Is it me, or does this article seam to lean towards the Gingrich-point-of-view (GPOV as I call it)? I put a POV on this article because I was thinking that it is. It seems that the wording of the article leads more towards a conservative ideal rather than that of a neutral point of view, as preached by Wikipedia. Now, leaving my personal political opinions out of this, I'm seeing some need for change, beginning with some real citations in this article (example: "The tide of public opinion in favor of some change to the welfare system was considerable.[Haskins 2006]"). If anyone agrees, disagrees, please note it. Editor19841 (talk) 19:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I'm talking about; a lack of a world-wide view, and the fact that not just this article's worshiped conservatives  are involved in welfare reform. There needs to be a serious tide of change with this article. Editor19841 (talk) 19:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've started to add NPOV language, but this article is basically going to require a major overhaul. The only way I see saving anything that stands in the article is in making it a section with a title along the lines of arguments for.

thread_title: Considering Major Reworking

message: I am continuing to expand the article. I am still unsure as to what to do with the material already in the US section. I could really use the help of a person versed in welfare laws and the movements to reform them, especially those outside the US. An international perspective is needed.

message: Why is there no longer any information about welfare reform in the United States, especially the Clinton-era acts?  Why has the U.S. section been missing since February, and why has no one noticed or fixed this major omission?  I restored the United States section, which links to Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act. Midtempo-abg (talk) 14:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I blanked the template recently added to this page because it seemed to me to be potentially highly contentious. There should be a good reason for adding this kind of template because there are already categories and related links as a way of getting further information.
I'd be grateful if editors would take a look at the template as it was before I delted it and also at the discussion I started at the template's talk page and provide some feedback.
I just have a sense that visuality of the template and some of the subcategories could have had a politically unbalanced presentation not in the spirit of Wikipedia. For instance the linking with articles about the negative side of the welfare state (fraud, dependency, etc.) without equal linking to articles on the positive side (alleviation of stress, social cohesion, etc.). Also some of the articles where the template was placed seem to me to have very little to do with the welfare state per se. --Hauskalainen (talk) 18:36, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I do not understand the point of the image, which as far as I can see depicts a personal act of charity and has nothing to do with Welfare reforms. I feel the picture here would be more suitable. Leutha (talk) 14:12, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
