message: To avoid an edit war around the issue of gender neutrality, I've added a note explaining the usage of gender neutral terms, and reasons why people prefer to use them. The intention is to reach a compromise between people who are passionate about gender neutrality, and people who think it doesn't belong. (And no, I'm not going to declare my own point of view, even if you ask nicely. :-) Waitak 02:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Waitak.  I can't say I agree with the additional notes that you have added re craftswoman etc.  There are just too many articles where you would then need to include the exact same information.  I don't mind changing terms when there is a general consensus in society for the change ( ie previous discussions regarding lineworker vs lineman) but I am opposed to gender neutral changes when there has not yet been an acceptance for the term.  I think including notes to appease gender neutrality views is not for the Wiki.  Off the top of my head one of the few gender neutral success stories is probably   dropping actress for the all inclusive actor, but then I suppose the offensive term man was not in the title.

replies: text:  Just to be clear, the note was a revision of changes made within the article. The intention was to compromise between those who feel strongly on the issue, and those who really don't care at all. Waitak 11:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not that concerned to revert the edit, if others are then so be it.  I have watched with a little interest some of the gender neutral discussions and I think the recent issues have probably resolved themselves with patient reasoning between those involved.

text: I made some grammar corrections that might tromp on this gender neutral issue. In US and UK English (as well as all other dialects as far as I know) it is always incorrect to use "they" as a singular pronoun. The correct "gender neutral" singular (subject) pronoun is "he." Some people feel that "he" is not gender neutral because it is identical to the masculine singular subject pronoun "he." In that case, you can use the more awkward, but still grammatically correct, "he or she."Tdshepard (talk) 20:37, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Uh, who was the person that made most of this article? I mean, come on, 'Jewellery'? It's jewelery. Not to mention countless others. I'm going to go over this article now and fix some grammar/spelling.

message: I don't see the alleged "merge" discussion trumpeted here and at Tradesman. Craft should certainly not be merged to this article. Although it's a strangely insubstantial article at present, it should be both about the products of craftsmanship, and the abstract notion of "craft" as a kind of skilled handiwork (so "craft" and "craftsmanship" could be a single article).  "Artisan" and "tradesman" raise issues of social position and guilds and such, with an interesting history in antiquity and the Middle Ages and Renaissance, all missing here. "Artisan" in the States, at least, has a rather different cast from "tradesman." An artisan might make by hand one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture, for instance, for sale at specialty shops or arts fairs; a tradesman practices a trade, though I see that "trade" bizarrely redirects to "craft". Two cents worth. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
