thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

message: I came to this article when it was small, and I was working on the Amarna letters. It is obvious (to me) why the extremely nice Nuribta letter turned into one of my favorites. (It was undamaged, short, concise, and made its statement.)
I just did the Commons Category... And put it under (Wikipedia:)[:Category:Workers]...(doesn't exist, there are about 8 subcats in commons(the master cat is "People by occupation"-(I just checked))  When I originally found the "corvee bowl" photo... I think I searched for other "corvee" items, and found none... (I think)... anyhow...Now there were 18 items under the search for 'corvee'... and I'm pretty sure the category for it should be a: "type of worker", in this case, forced or unfree labor..
I just reordered the categories, read my first reason, then asked myself about "cat:economic history",... as I went to put it after the History of china, history of europe, .. I threw in :Category:Labor history,... and there it was. So now it is in both....(from ArizonaUSA-.. theDeserts).. Mmcannis (talk) 00:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

message: During Spanish colonial times there was a similar work system but I do not know enough about it to add a section.  Does anyone else want to add a section? --Bruce Hall (talk) 03:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a section, which is almost word-for-word from another Wikipedia article (which I linked to).  I am not sure what the etiquette of that is but I figure that allowances are given for Wiki-to-Wiki copying. --Bruce Hall (talk) 12:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Should there also be a forced labor article? Should there be a section on corvee labor in the forced labor article?  --Bruce Hall (talk) 12:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Forced labor" appears to be the more general or "superordinate" term, so they should probably not be merged... AnonMoos (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: What's the difference between this and [[Forced Labor]]?

message: 'Corvée' seems to be a generic term for phenomena like socage (cf. 'boyarshchina' in this article), yet the two articles aren't linked to each other. Is this because of some Anglo-Saxon terminological tradition concerning these terms? 89.231.108.159 (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The statement that the UK Workfare scheme is a form of corvée was recently added without citation. I'm putting this in Talk as I'm unsure whether this is a non-neutral point of view, as it is a contentious political issue, or if the Workfare scheme fits the definition of corvée. Thanks for opinions.

message: When doing research for a history project, I noticed there was no section on the Corvée in South Vietnam. This should be amended.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.166.131 (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Slavery is when the fruits of a person's labor are confiscated for the benefit of some other individual or individuals.  Therefore a person whose income is taxed at a rate of 100% is indistinguishable from a slave, and the degree to which you are taxed is the degree to which you are enslaved.
The article says "The corvée was the earliest and most extensive form of taxation," and it also contains the Slavery template.  It is quite logical for the article to contain both of these elements, and I'd like to thank the article's editors for providing further proof of the equivalence of taxation and slavery. 174.24.42.46 (talk) 06:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
