 * No.....this is a separate issue that needs to be defined independently.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by  24.7.71.246 (talk • contribs)  04:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Common Good - Party?
This page links from the UK parliamentary constituency Birmingham Northfield. A party called "Common Good" stood there at the 2005 election. Is there a chance the redirect has somehow got rid of the party's article? doktorb 20:30, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

definition
Common good does not seem to be defined in economic literature in a way as it is described in this article. This article is in need for reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mronkko  (talk • contribs)  14:49, 25 January 2006(UTC)

Redirecting to avoid confusion
There is another page which, confusingly, has the same name as the very important political governance concept known as "the common good." I have already twice gone to that page when trying to get to this one (which is simply under the name "Common Good"). I doubt if even 10% of the people on Wikipedia typing "the common good" into the search field intend to find a page on a tiny British political party. May I suggest renaming that page to "The Common Good Party" and redirecting all searches for "the common good" to this page? It would certainly allow more people to reach their correct destination and avoid confusion and wasted time. --Rameses 15:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
I just wanted to say that I wrote a subheading for the common good a few months ago that contributed to it's definition. When I came back a few months later, I saw that a vandal had removed it. I've since put it back but I wanted to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Is there anyway I can flag the previous edits as vandalism?

 * Why would you want to flag them? Best way to deal with vandalism is to add pages you care about to your watchlist and check them as often as possible (there are RSS and other tools to help). The less popular the page, the smaller chance of vandalism but also the bigger chance 'nobody cares' and it will go unnoticed for a long time.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Minor edit needed
This text "allows the pursuit of virtue, but is prescribe what the common good actually is." near the end of the article isn't grammatical and doesn't make sense. Probably a typo/edito of some sort. I would fix it but am not sure of the original intent. Maybe it's supposed to be "allows the pursuit of virtue, but does not prescribe what the common good actually is."?

"end" = "goal" or "terminus"?
As of 2020-07-04 this article includes, 'Saint Thomas Aquinas held "the common good" (bonum commune, in Latin) to be the end of law and government;[5] John Locke declared that "the peace, safety, and public good of the people" are the ends of political society.'

The word "ends" in this context seems confusing: Is this saying that the law, government and political society should be designed to maximize the common good? Or that the common good will be extinguished by law, government, and political society?

The latter may be correct, but I suspect that Aquinas and Locke intended the former. Accordingly, I am changing "end" to "goal" in these phrases. DavidMCEddy (talk) 23:07, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
