"more unspoiled communities" - changed to the grammatically simpler 'less spoiled'. --duncan 20:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, "more unspoiled" and "less spoiled" don't necessarily mean the same thing. The former (in context) means "more pristine" or "more corrupted" (i.e. by civilization), whereas the latter means "less pampered".  I'm switching it back, because it makes more sense in context.

How do you have more of un-______? ie: "This unspoiled nature is great, but it needs more nature." Doesn't make sense.68.180.38.41 (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

How does Cul-de-sac become a "see also" on this article?

The article doesn't really explain the main metaphorical implication of the term, that they want to pull up the drawbridge behind them as they enter the castle... AnonMoos 00:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I still continue to not understand how Wikipedia editors can tag articles for lack of references, and then not spend 30 seconds to search for a reference. Here is one, should anyone bother to format it correctly. http://www.orangecoastmagazine.com/article.aspx?id=594 Of course, I am not bothering to correct the article, just complain about it. 12.210.40.181 (talk) 12:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Sub-par description
As with many minor, politics-related articles, this article does a poor job of explaining what the term actually means, instead discussing the political context it is used in and some case studies where the term was used. I don't know enough about the topic at hand to change it, but the opening paragraph should explain what the phrase "draw-bridge" actually means here. Thanuhrei (talk) 19:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
