Talk:Carte Blanche

Usage
In personal experience (UK based) the most common usage of carte blanche is as "blank page" i.e. the total authority definition or someone being happy to be moulded to someone's purpose (e.g. applying for a job at a firm and being happy for the firm to change the job to any other job; or an apprenticeship).

In the uk, in my experience we don't use it to mean blank check. Perhaps the page should reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.149.63.175 (talk • contribs)

"Nut Shell" section move discussion
Probably, it's better to revert the edits to this version per WP:SPAM. One can rewrite and move the text from a disambig to a new page though. --Yuriy Lapitskiy 14:21, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Non marital relationship
Hm, I know it's not a particularly reliable source but in the regency romances, Georgette Heyer etc., carte blanche is also used to refer to when a man takes a woman as his mistress without marriage. Has anyone else seent this? Or think it might be worth mentioning? --Farosdaughter 01:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Supporting The Non-marital definition
I was looking up Carte Blanche to find out what the word meant. The Well Known Writer C.S. Lewis used the word in an story about a man and woman having an affair... The Non-marital relationship fits this definition better than the others. (Signed Corey K.)

Trance record
The following item I added a while ago was removed according to WP:STYLE, which is fine but I feel it's still a relevant point as it was an very notable record in its genre:


 * Carte Blanche, a 1999 trance record by Vincent De Moor and Ferry Corsten under their Veracocha guise

So could someone add this back in, edited as appropriate to suit whatever element of WP:STYLE it violates? (as this isn't clear to me) 84.9.145.82 (talk) 16:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The style issue was most likely because you had more than one blue link in this entry (see WP:DDD). I'll add it back in with the link going to Veracocha.  Hoof Hearted (talk) 19:15, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
