Elitism

Why do you refuse to discuss your edits,and instead claim I am the "North Carolina" vandal and "Remington and the Rattlesnakes"? I will not tolerate this from the Wikiquinns. I know Remington, but he is too low-class to be my friend, although we are both involved in this stupid dispute.

Lead sentence

the lead sentence should be brief, which it is not in the current state and may be confusing. The oxford dictionary definition seems to serve a better starting point and perhaps the lead can be summarized as such. Otherwise it just seems like another long sentence with no citation Princeton wu (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-elitism

At present, there is a section on anti-elitism in the article, and Anti-elitism exists as a redirect to that section. The purpose of this redirect is currently being discussed by the Wikipedia community. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this redirect's entry on the Redirects for discussion page.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:49, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Elite is an adjective, not a noun.

The word elite is an obvious adjective. When I was young it would only be used to modify nouns, for example, Mark Spitz is an elite athlete. Since then, the spelling of the word itself has been borrowed and modified by simply placing an 'ist' or 'ism'. The origins of this new noun are entirely political in nature and it is used as a pejorative noun. It's purpose is for the listener to mentally group large numbers of people together, (whether they actually exist or not) to bond with the speaker and have a common enemy to target for the members of the real group (the ones conversing).

Members of all political parties and special interests do this and it creates conflict. Over use of these adjective->to->noun words promotes political escalation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:3D1:1990:C08C:2308:38CF:B33D (talk) 18:32, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2600:1702:3d1:1990:c08c:2308:38cf:b33d claimed "It is a new word created by borrowing the adjective 'elite', and modified into a noun by the right to mask their own 'racial heirarchialism'."[1]

Merriam-Webster says that the word "Elitism" dates from 1947, and meant "leadership or rule by an elite".

Merriam-Webster says that the word "Elite" as a noun dates from 1823, and as an adjective dates from 1808.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:11, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hipsters, etc.

There should be a section devoted to how the world has and is becoming more and more elitist (housing crisis, class disparity, etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.58.104.26 (talk) 11:33, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In Archaic Societies

To claim that deference granted by hereditary right only occurs in archaic societies seems grossly inaccurate. Many still define others by lineage in the most developed countries. It is rather that perhaps celebrity dynasties have taken over from aristocratic ones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:4425:FE01:F1E0:1BC:AA94:122B (talk) 11:22, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Elitism model

Consequences of elitism model of decision making in the implementation of the on going programs for educational development and improvement in Tanzania 156.158.128.232 (talk) 17:26, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence doesn't make sense.

"Elitism is the belief or notion that individuals who form an elite, a select group of people with intrinsic and desirable quality such as high intellect, wealth, power, physical attractiveness, notability, special skills, experience, lineage, and other desirable traits."

Basically it says "X is the belief that individuals who form a Y."

Recently it got edited by cutting down some parts of the sentence. That pre-edit sentence actually used to make sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elitism&diff=1218790389&oldid=1210654875 LowerEntropy (talk) 14:39, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elitism can not be entirely defined in one nature.

The paragraph starting with Elitism can not be entirely defined in one nature. along with the following paragraph about DAO appear to be original research. The linked DAO article makes no mention of elitism. Thinking of cutting both paragraphs. Uhoj (talk) 12:28, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I hope you are doing well! Just to understand, does a "original research" or prior made by someone (as me for example) where I mention the part included the DAO, has to specifically on the other side, mention or define the term elitism (from the DAO perspective). As said from my addition, one does not necessary categorize themselves as elitism. How would you add a citation, or a definition, without a citable source, or from a personal opinion, if this is new content or made out of prior research?

Thank for your answer, I'm quite new as an editor... SirlupinwatsonIII (talk) 02:30, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the term DAO, is not defined by simply one nature, instead, it's a paradox or multi-composition, that can, or cannot (depending on your point of view) be measured in those mentioned context or derivatives out of what a DAO is mean to be, in fact. SirlupinwatsonIII (talk) 02:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lastly, a DAO, is the "elite" of an organization, where any organization, present themselves as a new organization to form a DAO. In this context, is it a new class of leading governance strategy, but not limited to, as anyone with a hige level or a certain degree of autonomie, can lead proposition, subjects, conversations and create proposals where a common goal is shared. In many case, those contributors, are world class researcher, creator, and thus for me, reflect clearly the term in this publication. However, feel free to remove it if your experience and expertize can proceed with a decision if this a fit or not. I would simply be happy to get feedback about the decision or your way to "judge" this part.

Best regards! SirlupinwatsonIII (talk) 02:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if possible, next time you want to undo a change or remove a paragraph from an editor, please, before doing your move, use the talk page, so we can argue about it. There is quite a decent amount of time and effort made in order to write and express quality articles, and my goal is to improve content. When someone just as you did, decide to take out content, without taking consideration, is not really acceptable. SirlupinwatsonIII (talk) 03:16, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
