Computer game
The computer game should be an exception, the Elite (sociology) article should be moved here, and this article moved to Elite (computer game). I will do it if noone raise serious resons as to why I shouldn't soon enough. Nixdorf 22:21 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Now I've done it. All related links are changed too. Nixdorf
Elites in market societies
" In market societies, elites often have superior access to all of these resources, because they are so easily exchanged." This hasn't been thought through: in non-market economies elites still have access, but because of their kinship status. Elites have access because of lotsa different things. A paragraph on the basis for elites in different societies might be a useful addition. Wetman 20:00, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Name of article
Someone has moved this from the normal English Elite to the French Élite which is a pretentious affectation in the English-language Wikipedia. Élite indeed. Wetman 13:43, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Appropriate indeed. Chameleon 18:16, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you, Lowellian. English-language keyboards don't have an É keying, making access difficult. "Elite" in Wikipedia is a description, not a reproach: the word "elite" is worn so threadbare by approximate usage that it now sounds like the resentful bleat of mediocrity...
