[edit] Recuperation

This should be moved to Wiktionary in case the definition is correct. Svest 21:28, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

• Okay it's a crap stub. cleanup. Recuperation has a couple of meanings that are very encyclopedic, but I'm not going to do it because I'm getting to feel like a performing monkey. Why don't you just take the initiative and say "Recuperation is gradual recovery from illness." And then you just add some "see also" items and you have a useful stub. This an intrinsically encyclopedic subject because it touches on disease, nursing, medicine, health, psychology and whatnot, so it fits well into the organic environment of a Wiki. keep--Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:36, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• This came from the source of its only inbound, Detournement. Google (+recuperation +radical +idea) confirms that this definition is used, and this is the creator's first edit. Keep and let it, well, recuperate organically. Samaritan 22:40, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I re-wrote it somewhat, but still needs to be expanded. ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 23:20, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, good start. Kappa 00:33, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: A quick look indicates that "recuperation" is only used with the strange meaning in situationist jargon. That's got to be made clear in recuperation or WP is going to help kids fail their vocabulary exams. The current state of recuperation is also bogus because the rare, specialized slang meaning is listed first and the common meanings later. The article for detournement is also a problem — it's simply copied from part of situationist. It seems that detournement should just be a explanation that it's situationist jargon with a brief definition and link to situationist. I'd do this myself, but I have hopes that there's someone else here who knew there was such a thing as Situationist International for longer than the last 5 minutes. Quale 00:42, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand focussing on the medical meaning.Capitalistroadster 11:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
