Comment

[edit]

As Dr. Guy Standing says in his 2017 lectures (like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDF8o9e1QVc), Basic Income Pilots are growing across the world. I suggest we keep Pilot reviews brief:

Region, Pilot Name, how it got approved, current status, positive and negative outcomes.

I suggest we avoid listing every politician or celebrity who say they "advocate Basic Income" as millions now "advocate" it. Huge wikipedia articles of economic techno-speak are unreadable. Please limit techno-speak. Please keep this rapidly evolving subject fascinating and readable for all ages. Thanks! Tom Minogue Hastings

More on Canada is needed

[edit]

The experiment in Ontario, Canada, has ended, at least for the time being. This should be mentioned and also the critique of this. Right after this: "In 2017 the Liberal Government of Ontario announced that in 2017 they would launch a pilot project in the cities of Hamilton, Lindsay and Thunder Bay, selected residents will receive CAD$17,000." --Mats33 (talk) 08:27, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

It seems that [TOPIC] by country is much more common on Wikipedia than [TOPIC] around the world. Per WP:CONSISTENT, I propose renaming this article to Basic income by country. What do other editors think? Daask (talk) 21:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Daask: Agreed; moved. –Gluonz talk contribs 17:09, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sustainable Australia Party

[edit]

Is this - "A universal basic income (or a citizen's dividend) is also supported by the Sustainable Australia Party.[1]" - acceptable to add to the article? Helper201 (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, per WP:SELFSOURCE. Helper201 (talk) 17:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • No - This article is not about the Sustainable Australia Party, it is about a Universal Basic Income, and as such, publishing the policy position of some random political party sourced only to their own website is WP:UNDUE and WP:PROMOTIONAL of their position, and doesn't belong in this article, unless sourced by an independent source about UBI which mentions supporters and lists SAP. ---Avatar317(talk) 22:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
