replies: text: The hyphenation depends on usage. Third party (noun), third-party (unit adjective used attributively). For example, "A third party can provide third-party verification." See also compound modifier.— ¾-10 20:31, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Perhaps there should be an entry, but
: * Third-party content
is not acceptable in this form, perhaps not at all at this time. Dab entries require a page (perhaps one differently named) discussing the topic, and links from other articles to the name in question. If those can be found, Third-party content can probably have an entry in Third party#See also.--Jerzy•t 02:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The "lead sent" reading
: Third party is often used to refer to a person or entity who is not involved in an interaction or relationship.
could be cleaned up if it were the lead sent of an article, but the accompanying main-namespace page is a Dab, not an article, and a Dab page's first text links elsewhere if and only if the title has a primary topic.   (It would not be out of the question for WP to have an article on Third party (law) -- and/or on something like Third party (relationship), covering instances e.g. of an adviser to a couple, or of a mutual friend who might have insights into a difficult decision or stumbling block between two friends or colleagues.

But it is not my purpose now to come up with a primary topic -- rather, my intent is to repair the stark failure of the current Dab with the least rewriting of articles: specifically, probably no such rewriting.)   Writing the lead of an "equal" (no-primary-topic) is simplicity itself: in this case, with

message: Dictionaries reflect a clear distinction in their definitions of
: (political) party
and
: party (to an agreement, or involved in a transaction).
I had expected to easily state similarly clear logic for my notion that the sections
:: Business and marketing,
:: Computers,
:: Law and society, and
:: Sports
belong (at most: i don't mean to rule out merging some of them) as subsections of a section which i'm calling for now
: Acting in third of three roles
with
: Politics, and
: As a proper name
as the remaining top-level sections; perhaps others can improve it.   I'm pretty sure i'm leaving it less horrible; perhaps it's good enuf.--Jerzy•t 21:08, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
