Talk:Face (sociological concept)

message: The current WP articles about sociological "face" are disorganized and redundant. While I may have overlooked some,
*Face (sociological concept) has redirects from:
**Loss of face
**Lose face
**Losing face
**Face (self image)
*Face (Asian social concept) has redirects from:
**Mianzi 
**Lianzi 
**To lose face 
**Lost face 
**Losing Face 
**Face (social custom) 
**Face (social concept) 
**Face (Chinese social concept) 
*Face saving has a redirect from:
**Save face
*Facework has a redirect from:
**Face/Facework Theory
What do you think of merging all these into one comprehensive Face (sociological concept) article? Keahapana (talk) 00:59, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry, but I don't understand what's different. The English expression lose face is borrowed from Chinese diulian 丟臉. Doesn't the literature in this field treat sociological and psychological "face" as a cultural universal? Keahapana (talk) 23:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

message: According to City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City, page 63, Sir Claude McDonald said the following in early 1898:
:"...saving 'face', a very important consideration with Chinese..."
He seemed to be speculating on a possible reason for the Chinese wanting to retain jurisdiction in Kowloon Walled City. Not sure if this is an early enough usage to be included, but there it is if someone more knowledgeable about this subject feels it's notable. —tktktk 00:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was going to edit this section for wording, punctuation, and grammar, but I found that I couldn't understand half of it. I checked its main cited source  for clarification, only to discover that almost all of it is lifted from said source. It looks like whoever pasted it over tried to reword the passage they sourced and gave up halfway. This might also be the case for other sections of the article, if the same contributor tried their hand at a section other than just this one.
I don't know nearly enough about facework to competently rewrite this section, but it'd be great if another capable contributor could pick this up. Unslept em (talk) 09:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
