Talk:mutual aid

RFV discussion
"the cooperative as opposed to the competitive factors operating in the development of society." I'm not sure what this means, but I have a sneaky feeling it's a way of avoiding saying "aid of a mutual nature". Mglovesfun (talk) 15:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's in [www.dictionary.com] with two definitions:
 * the cooperative as opposed to the competitive factors operating in the development of society.
 * arrangements made between nations to assist each other
 * I see nothing here that would go beyond mutual: + aid: > delete. --Hekaheka 08:34, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * So it's a copyright violation? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:09, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Among local governments in New York State, there are formal agreements (probably sanctioned and defined by law, possibly state law) regarding how emergency-services/public-safety departments respond to requests for assistance. IOW, the second definition would need to be generalized at least to include other levels of government. I suspect that there are similar arrangements existing in the private sector that operate under the same name. DCDuring TALK 13:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Deleted as copyvio. If someone re-adds it in future, we can evaluate whether the sense they add is citeable. Until then. . . —Ruakh TALK 00:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
