Merge

I don't think we should merge this. I think that the fact that there are whole books dedicated to "comp hustling" makes this a noteworthy enough article. I'm going to work on expanding it, too.

I don't think anyone suggested that the article be merged? Rray 12:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was in the edits. GusChiggins21 21:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see it now. You're correct. This article doesn't need to be merged into another article. Rray 00:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ibid

Please don't use "ibid" when including references. It's not the preferred style used in the Wikipedia. Please review http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes#Style_recommendations. Rray 21:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

What part of the article is considered original research? GusChiggins21 10:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anything that isn't supported by a citation could be considered original research. Rray 13:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, what exactly, in this article, caused someone to put the tag on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GusChiggins21 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the original research tag myself, but it looks like, based on the history, that the tag was added when the article still didn't have any references. The article still has {{Fact}} tags on some of the statements though, so it's still an appropriate tag. Hope that helps. Rray 20:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prostitutes

I've removed info suggesting prostitutes may be provided as a comp which was tagged with {{fact}} since June 2013. That may be true outside of the U.S. but I'd want to see a source even for that. Inside of the U.S. I could scrounge up sources declaring that's a big no-no were I bothered too. -- Kendrick7^talk 10:18, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Like in the movie The Hangover, technically they are escorts in Clark County, you have to cross county lines, such as day tripping to Pahrump, Nevada for legal prostitution in Nevada. 75.0.5.191 (talk) 19:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
