Janitor

In India the word peon is universally and exclusively used to refer to a janitor. Is this usage not prevalent anywhere else? Amit@Talk 09:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Warcraft

Surely the Warcraft reference is not important enough for this article? Wjousts (talk) 18:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I removed the Warcraft reference again. It is not relevant and it is unencyclopedic. Since the user who put it back didn't bother to try and justify their reasoning, I removed it again. Wjousts (talk) 12:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Tone

I tagged the article for inappropriate tone, in particular the "Peonage" section. Do not worry; I mean to address it myself, but have not the time nor the resources at the moment to do so. dci | TALK 03:48, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Agree, the language is heated and the sources are not cited sufficiently with pages. Time periods are mixed up, and different forms of peonage are conflated. There is substantial research on this, but the article is a jumble.Parkwells (talk) 13:54, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
