Video Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basic Income
Topics to cover
While working on filling the outline table, I came across the article Distribution of wealth. I think it belongs to the topic areas covered by our project, but just in case, are there any opinions on whether it makes sense to add it to the project? --Waldir talk 21:01, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- Update: The issue was settled: the article was added to the project as a low-importance topic. Full discussion here. --Waldir talk 08:38, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Basic income label project
it is combining basic income ,with a 'second stream" of income out out declared work. In order to promote this, comparison between efforts of governments and efforts of(international) companies should be made comparable. An equal acces to declared work seems a prerequiqite. From there, consumers(consumer label) should be enabled, as well as companies or international institutions to evaluate efforts (on results, on level, on effectiveness to create a safe and sustainable 'incomnomy') It also is a base for a possible outcome of the European citizens initiative claiming studies about 'basic income...' As a reaction to some other basic income strategies, it is not promoting laziness, in the contrary: the additional cost of labour should allow everybody to have an equal chance to have declared work. Unpaid work for free, or slightly paid by taxes should allow better ecology, better structures, better ecology...To work or not to work is a free choice, but to have some more income in active periods, you should however participate freely when YOU like to. Undeclared work becomes less problematic, as the 'retributivity' of the second stream gives some rights on the retribution, and other than investments it should automatically follow inflation and economical growth. In this way it's a stable base for credit, so everybody could acces own housing property... The label aspect, should finally result in a consumer label, and CSR (corporate social responsibility) could be supported by trade unions...(soon:www.basicinomelabel.net) -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.155.205 (talk) 18:48, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Portal:Social Welfare and Social Work
Shall we connect this project with the new portal under construction Portal:Social Welfare and Social Work, add links and contribute with text and articles? Or better with Portal:Sustainable development, because all human beings can develop themselves to be sustainable entrepreneurs on the basis of unconditional income - or with both? --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 12:50, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable; thanks for reaching out. What kinds of specific cooperation actions do you envision? --Waldir talk 23:01, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

- From both Portals I have made links back to here. Possibilities: In Portal:Social Welfare and Social Work there are empty subpages, we could write about basic income there, examples or news, e.g. about the ECI-UBI (European Citizens' Initiative - Unconditional Basic Income) or the successful but ongoing de:Initiative Grundeinkommen in Switzerland (a WP-article for translation? - inclusive some of the linked articles, like the basic-income related texts e.g. in de:Endo Anaconda). In: "Do you know?" we could write about Lenkungsabgaben in Switzerland. The government of Switzerland pays back money from some steering-taxes like the Carbon-tax per capita, everybody the same and unconditional, in the principle way of a partial ecological-basic-income (ecological-bonus-principle). In Welfare (a very good visited WP-article!) we should mention the worldwide examples of realized (partial-)basic-income, or contribute something to Welfare#Criticism. Let's bring a little more music, dynamic-balanced-equality and art to this world! --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 03:24, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

- Really good ideas! I already added the portals to the BI project's "see also" list. I also added some of the articles you mentioned to the outline table so we can keep track of them. (One question: how should "Initiative Grundeinkommen" be translated?). I left some out as they're not directly related to BI (if we include all tangentially related topics, the list of articles to cover starts getting too overwhelming), but I agree with the changes you propose in them. I would personally like to focus first on assessing the priority articles from that list, however, so we can move forward in a more data-driven way, as well as track our progress. Do you think you can help selecting the top priority items from that list? --Waldir talk 09:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Welfare Trap
Isn't one of the main motivations behind the Basic Income that it removes the 'welfare trap', because benefits are no longer means-tested? This fact is not expressed anywhere in the related pages, and is definitely not explained using graphs and mathematics. I think it should be. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by LAUBO (talk o contribs) 23:41, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Funding International Basic income
The defining entry restricts the provision of a basic income to individual countries/states. I feel the possibility of greater good could be achieved with a truly universal program, and that even without specific academic or political proposals, an international system should not be eliminated from consideration.

Your Basic Supply of Barnstars for getting WikiProject Basic Income up and running!
Thanks to everyone for getting this project up and running! I've distributed a Basic Supply of Barnstars, updated the project page, and done a bit of assessment. Anybody here with more expertise than me who can assess the importance of articles? Djembayz (talk) 16:06, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
The basic income page
Could the project weigh in on the state of the basic income page. A lot of content has been recently stripped. What is left seems pretty shaky. The difficult issue is whether content that lacks prestigious sponsorship (Academic or Commercial publication) should be selectively scrubbed from the page even when other content is unreferenced, and confused, and the best argument against removing it, is that it would cause the core page content "properties" to be completely blank.
It would be helpful to state an exemption to the Academic only content reference policy since either none is available, or no one with access to such references is willing to contribute to the wiki page. Perhaps, what seemed to me to be useful and informative content could be restored until academic sources are contributed to replace it. Godspiral (talk) 03:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

- I want to second this, It's now more than a year later and it would good to get some opinions about what we need to do to improve the quality of the article and get it up to 'Good'. 109.78.68.250 (talk) 04:03, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live!
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Basic income wiki
I'm starting a wiki solely dedicated to basic income at http://basicincome.wiki.yt/ (hopefully with a nicer URL in the future). There's a lot more editorial freedom. E.g. references are welcome but definitely not a requirement. And you can If any of your work here is about to be deleted you can move it there. It's also CC-BY-SA.

Some big changes on the main article
I have made three big changes to the main article, basic income.
1. I have removed the country specific texts to a new article called "Basic income around the world"
2. Instead of using too much space in the main article on pilots I have made a new article, "Basic income pilots".
3. I have added some photos under the headline Advocates and opponents.
What do you think about these changes? --Mats33 (talk) 15:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Main article cleanup.
I cleaned up some stuff on the main article. I disambiguated a wikilink, removed a certain bias, removed a tag that didn't belong there and removed an unnecessary redlink. Not sure if I'm missing something. Hope that helps! Lighthead þ 02:55, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
List of basic income models listed at Requested moves
A requested move discussion has been initiated for List of basic income models to be moved to List of alternatives to basic income. This page is of interest to this WikiProject and interested members may want to participate in the discussion here. --RMCD bot 15:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
