Talk:Initiatives to raise the age of consent

Weasle words
Some individuals or groups support initiatives... Who? Which individuals and which groups? See Wikipedia's policy on weasle words. -Neural 11:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've removed the proposed-merge tags. This article is too insubstantial and vague to be merged with anything in its current state. If this article is going to remain as just a vague reference to some groups and some individuals trying to change some aoc laws in some countries and some juristictions, I will put up a proposed-delete tag. This article is currently nowhere approaching the standards of a Wikipedia article, and has no real info in it to justify its existence. -Neural 03:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Which is exactly why it SHOULD be merged. It can make a perfectly valid article subsection. --tjstrf 03:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge what exactly? This entire article's text already has been added to age of consent and it's existence there is tenuous at best due to it being a completely weasle-worded passage. --Monotonehell 11:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Which is exactly why it SHOULD be merged. It can make a perfectly valid article subsection. Perfectly valid? It is just a loose collection of weasle words as it stands. And to repeat Monotonehell, it is already a subsection of the AOC page, although it is so vague. If this article does not improve fairly soon, I suggest deletion... -Neural 12:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Poll
Thirteen percent of respondents in Britain believe that age of consent should be raised to 18 ''in the United Kingdom, ... By contrast, 34% of the participants want age of consent to lower to 14 in Britain, whereas'' 18% of them consider it should be raised to 18.

Don't the percentages for raising to 18 seem to contradict? Is it 13% or 18%? -Neural 11:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * According to the link given in the article, the 18% figure referred to something else entirely - the proportion wanting it abolished. I've corrected the text. -- Avenue 12:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
