[edit] Door prizes?

I know some parties and social gatherings have such a thing as 'door prizes' or other contests where the guests may win something, from a toy to a DVD... However, searching wikipedia for 'door prize' returned no results? What gives? ;P --Ayelis 17:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lemon Party

I call, that was just added as a reference to the shock site --Stilanas 21:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Obviously. For future reference, there's no need to add something on a talk page when removing the work of a vandal. 24.126.199.129 02:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

'Removed poor language'

[edit] Merge

Support. Celebration (party) should be merged to party then deleted. Everything that could or should be covered in celebration is and will be covered in party. 24.126.199.129 02:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RAVE

Why is it stated that coke partys feture cocane but nothing is mentioned about Extacy in the topic of a rave as most, if not all raves involve the excisive use of the drug MDMA

[edit] Party Fouls

There probably be some mention of what a party foul is, and what types there are. Another page could be set up for this because it currently does not exist.

[edit] Rape party?

Who actually throws one of these? Dave Foster 22:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comic strip features Wikipedia's "Kegger"

See here... actually, it references "Raging kegger", but there's no Wikipedia article on that. ("Kegger" itself redirects to this article, Party.) *Dan T.* 01:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this blood/tasteless vandalism?

So, we assume someone had an "accident" with a wine glass, yes?

I think it is red wine. It's too runny to be blood. Maustrauser 02:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It's clearly punch, there's bottles of lemonade there --83.100.165.166 19:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Party Jini?

Is the PartyJini link added so often to the article notable? Does it add anything besides linkspam to the article? I smell spam. --Hojimachongtalk 20:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Keg Party

Keg party redirects to this page, but is unmentioned in the article. Could anyone fix that please? Crisco 1492 00:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the verb "to party"

Someone should consider writing about the way that the verb "to party" is commonly used more and more these days, at least here in the United States.

[edit] History of parties

I was interested in learning about the history of parties and festivals, specifically with regard to when the modern western practices of slow dancing and grinding developed. I want to know what there was before.

Perhaps Victorian separation of the sexes and taboos against dancing kept slow dancing and grinding out of existence. Also, perhaps the music genres of ballads (associated with slow dancing) and rap and reggaeton (associated with grinding) weren't in existence or prevalent. But it seems improbable to me that slow dancing and grinding are entirely new phenomena in the world. Message me if you know how to help answer my questions.

[edit] Create Celebration article/ merge with party

I think that we should make a celebration article and just add in party as a form of celebration... this article is to blatant. RYNORT 00:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


Not in favor - well, only some types of parties are celebrations (in the sense they are celebrating something) - looking at the types of parties covered in the article, pre-party, after-party, dinner party, and the whole range of parties whose purpose is simply to have a party... would not make sense as celebration. Since Celebration disambiguates here, maybe try to create a -Party as Celebration- section, and see if you can build it up into something worthy of a separate article. But I think while Party and Celebration have some overlap, both concepts also have much unlike, and Celebration itself is much less concrete than Party, encompassing everything from very somber occasions wake (ceremony) to festivals to government holidays, etc, etc... --Marcinjeske (talk) 19:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
