human hours(abbreviated to
‘man-hours!), as an alternative. This has some built-in futureproofing, distinguishing human hours from machine hours, which I expect to be a distinction of growing importance. However, that’s just my opinion on the direction that language-change advocacy should move in, not something to apply to this article. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 22:38, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Person-hour would confuse readers. I understand trying to follow WP:GNL but changing anything with man to person is not applicable in every situation. Additionally, the term man-hour is applicable to everyone not just males. Grahaml35 ( talk) 21:52, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Flight 191.

Ahunt: Wanted to bring this up here in light of the recent edits.
MOS:EUPHEMISM absolutely recommends neutral and precise terms, thus favoring "committed suicide" over "took his own life", but
MOS:SUICIDE points out that while "committed suicide" is not banned, ...[t]here are many other appropriate, common, and encyclopedic ways to describe a suicide
. Is there a neutral compromise we can reach? I'm partial to "died by suicide" or "killed himself", personally. Thoughts?

"The Western crash, however, was due to low visibility and an attempt to land on a closed runway, through, reportedly, confusion of its crew." 47.14.77.193 ( talk) 09:08, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
