Talk:Internet cafe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moved POV statements to talk:

Today they are just as likely to be hangouts for teenage boys, places for the homeless to send email, or old ladies to research their family history.
Internet cafes will always exist, as they can provide community access with a broader range or more advanced technology than the average home user (faster internet connection, the latest machines, more advanced printers etc). While launderettes have largely disappeared, drycleaning facilities have not!

The result of the debate was no consensus, although I'd personally agree with the move. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 20:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Should this article be moved to Internet café (with an accent above the "e")? That seems more correct to me. Coffee 01:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose move --Philip Baird Shearer 02:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. So far as I'm aware, there's a difference between "e" and "é", although I'm not sure about the US U.S. Fortunately, redirection should take care of keyboard layout differences etc. David Kernow 08:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I know it's too late but I Support Move: café is the correct spelling in English. Otherwise a reader would pronounce the word "Kay-f" not "Kaf-ay". There is a tendency for some editors to despise anything foreign being in Wikipedia articles. But "é" does have a history of being used in the English language. Kyle sb 06:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I heard about some Cybercafé guide that list all GNU/Unix friendly places , do you know the url ? it will be good to mention ? --RzR 20:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E-corner.

The caption in the picture of E-corner claims it as the first internet cafe. No date is given in the caption or the article proper, however. This is very confusing. Waverly Station has no mention of it in its history section either... -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 15:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
