Talk:Hoarding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should merge with Billboard (advertising). No need for two differently named articles. Since I'm American and prefer American spellings, I'll be gracious and propose Hoarding for the merged result. --Uncle Ed 20:43, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Certainly a merge would work – however, it seems Wikipedia blocks pages with 'advertising' in the title (and thus such links); will a redirect, then, help any? Sinuhe 20:51, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Sorry, I forgot that I set up my browser to do that; it is all right in Wikipedia!)

Hoarding might be better as a disambiguation page because of the many meanings. I'm not sure yet what the exact titles should be for each of the different kinds of hoarding. --Intelligentsia 19:42, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Having just come from browsing http://www.childrenofhoarders.com/ it's obvious this article is missing a whole subject area. -71.49.163.77 16:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think having 1000-2000 mp3s on an mp3 player counts as hoarding. It doesn't clutter up the player at all, its simply a convenience issue ... Ppe42 11:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree. Having a personal copy of a file from the Internet isn't hoarding as much as it is having a local, secure copy readily accessible. Every time a file is loaded remotely, it consumes bandwidth and time, so instead of downloading a song every time one wishes to listen to it, it makes infinitely more sense to have a local copy. Back in junior high, my school's systems administrator made a similar mistake; rather than install a program to every computer, he instead placed a single copy on the network. It quickly overwhelmed the network, rendering the computer labs unusable and effectively derailing the teachers' lesson plans.

So yeah, please consider rewriting that. ~ Eidako 21:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
