Talk:concubine

RFC discussion: June 2012–October 2017
Tagged a few weeks ago by, but not yet listed. An IP tried a sort of piecemeal fix, which reverted. I'm sure it was a good-faith edit, but this needs a more systematic reworking : right now it reads like it can't make up its mind whether it's a dictionary entry or bullet-points from a lecture, and I'm sure there's a good bit of overlap in the senses- it says a bunch of things without really adding up to much of anything.

 * Yes, there are too many definitions. I have added a bunch of translations, which are all about the same sense, mistress and slave-girl translations should be added separately. I'm having trouble writing the definition properly, though, so it's not defined as simply "mistress", "lover" or (female) slave, etc. Perhaps the status of both should be mentioned? We hardly use concubine in the modern world, since there is no nobility any more. --Anatoli (обсудить) 04:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)


 * We now have 2 definitions. Looks perfect. --P5Nd2 (talk) 12:36, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
