Talk:Double dipping

Untitled
Shouldn't the food version be expanded and moved to the top, since the other uses are by analogy to that one? The current article makes it look like this use is unique to Seinfeld, and to a particular episode at that. --Random832T 13:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This article
...is basically a completely useless disambiguation page (since none of these meanings has its own article), combining many dictionary definitions. As far as I can tell, there's no way it would pass an AFD discussion that pitted its content against Wikipedia policy, although I personally don't care enough to nominate it for deletion.

Sounds reasonable. I vote go for it, but I also don't care enough to do the work. --- Stephen Goldmeier |  Profile  |  Talk  |  (._.)  | 00:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I concur. This page was a mere list of dictionary definitions.  I have merged a few of the more obscure definitions to the Wiktionary page and made this into a soft-redirect.  Rossami (talk) 22:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

A little late, I know, but I disagree. The version just before the page was made into a redirect to Wiktionary included only a definition for a few of the double dippings, but also included a bit of history and effects of double dipping foods. I think that this should be made into an article again. It's not just a term, it's a topic.  W ODU P  07:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

US-centric
This presents a US-centric view. The issue arises in other jurisdictions also, for example if I'm not mistaken, it was an issue in the Republic of Ireland at one stage (county council and national parliament at the same time?). It remains an issue in Northern Ireland with elected representatives holding both a local parliament position (MLA) and UK parliament position (MP). Ian Paisley also held the position of MEP (European Parliament) at the same time as those other two positions.

The term in Ireland/UK is "double-jobbing".

 * In France this is usual practice.--Grahame (talk) 14:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Merge
This article should be merged into dual mandate, which covers the same topic in the rest of the world. Warofdreams talk 15:07, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
