Problems
editI see a problem with presidential symbols being a unique topic. Why are presidential symbols unique to the symbols of a prime minister or dictator? Tfine80 06:40, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- I am just filling a request at WP:RA. Of course, since this is a Wiki, we can move the article. What title do you wish this article can be under? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:42, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
NPOV
editThe whole article is heavily biased to criticise the use of symbolism within an environment. I can attempt to resolve that, but for the moment it is POV.ALR 21:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
POV?
editI dont particularly think this is POV. It states fact in most cases. The only aspect is interpreting whether status symbols are that. Corner office is not a de-facto requirement of holding a senior position, but is indeed a perk. I am sure some big cheeses would disagree though :P An interesting point is that UK PMs do not seem to have any formal robes as such, but do get a massive house in the country and stay at an posh office (Number 10)
Development
editI'm working on a redevelopment but at the moment there is a lot of repetition within the article. I'll move it to a sandbox to re-structure. It's probably better to talk about how various elements act as symbols, then articulate their use in various situations.ALR 19:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
