@ Marco.torregrossa, SFK2, and Speedster101:
Should the 'European Sharing Economy Coalition' be mentioned in the article? Its launch seems notable to me. A place should be found even if not in the 'Key organisations promoting the sharing economy' section. Jonpatterns ( talk) 14:48, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
The original collaborative consumption paper is not about car-sharing. This article claims it is. I propose the sentence be struck from the wikipedia article.
The original article is: [1] M. Felson and J. L. Spaeth. Community structure and collaborative consumption: A routine activity approach. American Behavioral Scientist, 21(4):614–624, 1978.
The dependent variables in that paper were: House Value, Travel, Dishwasher, Number of Cars, Clothes Dryer, Car Worth, Central A/C, Automatic Garage Door Opener, Number of Car Accessories, Party Giving
Current text in wikipedia: The term "collaborative consumption" was coined by Marcus Felson and Joe L. Spaeth in their paper “Community Structure and Collaborative Consumption: A routine activity approach" published in 1978 in the American Behavioral Scientist.[26] The paper dealt with car-sharing. The term was used in more contemporary times by Ray Algar, a UK-based management consultant in an article entitled "Collaborative Consumption" in the Leisure Report Journal in 2007. Donald J. Patterson ( talk) 00:13, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm of the opinion that this article needs to be reorganized for clarity. A few of the sections seem redundant, and a lot of the terms that have been pooled together under the umbrella of "sharing economy" are ill-defined or only casually mentioned to the point of irrelevance. Thoughts? -- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 01:51, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
The article has been been trimmed, much unreferenced material removed and a little that was referenced. Here's the diff for anyone who may be interested. Jonpatterns ( talk) 15:32, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
@ USchick: New lede may be problematic as it states the sharing economy is both informal and part of an economic system. Is the sharing economy always 'informal', the term isn't used in either ref for the first paragraph:
Jonpatterns ( talk) 17:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
It has been suggested ' uberisation' be merged into 'sharing economy' (this article).
I completely find it warranted to have two articles
Uber points to a form of sharing economics of the second tier, the first tier of said phenomenon is pooling, the second is in some form or other creating your own currency - Uber has in fact its own currency, as much as do pools, their currencies howerver lack some details still for them to qualify as currency - Tobacco once was currency, hockey/base-ball cards are currency, hot buns is a currency, but hot buns (so far) has not been monopolised...

Using definition from uberisation article to see if Netflix is an example:
So the question remains, in what way can Netflix be described as an example of uberisation. Jonpatterns ( talk) 09:34, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Dr. Checchi has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
language quality is heterogeneous. It is not framed in a general scheme. typos in the second paragraph. no information on the size of the phenomenon.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
We believe Dr. Checchi has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

Is the second paragraph in the section "Circumventing labor protection laws", which talks about lack of interpersonal relationships in sharing economy relevant to the section? Saipreethim07 ( talk) 03:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Would it be a good idea to add about food and grocery delivery as an extension of Transport sharing economy? For example, UberEATS and Instacart have drivers that get paid to deliver food to customers.
Saipreethim07 ( talk) 19:46, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
In 2015, Instakart had to face a class action suit for classiying its shoppers as independent contractors. Will it be good idea to include this in the Circumventing labor protection law(s) section? Tan_umn ( talk) 20:02, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
I am making a new subsection for the lines discussing about sharing economies not emphasizing interpersonal relationships, and companies not sharing reputation data.
Tan umn ( talk) 20:28, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
How is "Trust" a part of this section? Trust section adds little value to this section and is better suited to be put elsewhere.

This article contains a lot of bloat, and is a mess with no clear oversight, some sections overlap, some are about clearly different topics. The educational assignments few years back did little, if anything, to help. Solution is simple: cut this down to size. I did it few years ago at globalization, and I'll do tis again here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:13, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
User:MrOllie, can you explain [3] in more detail? Is the source unreliable? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
