NPOV Discussion

The article uses percentages as facts. These percentages can readily be disupted based upon any number of criteria. Women may choose different careers or have different career interruptions that impact their pay.^[1]^[2]^[3]. In some jobs women earn more than men ^[4]. Therefore, to cite unqualified statistics as fact renders the page partial. This is further noted by the fact that of the current 11 citations, 3 are from the partial organziation pay-equity.org, 2 are from the partial organization equalpaytoday.org, and another is from the partial organization equalpayday.de. This means that more than half the citations are partial.

Better for this page would be to talk more of the history of the day and perhaps note what official observances have occurred on the day. Additionally, it's probably worth adding in a controversy section. Elminstersage (talk) 19:22, 1 May 2019 (UTC) elminstersage[reply]

- None of the suggested sources are impartial. The sources listed on the page suggested to be partial cite data from official government sources including the US Census Bureau, the United Nations, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Women outperforming men in certain industries does not change the systemic global inequity that this day is highlighting. This is intentional fallacy of non-support, limited depth, irrelevant conclusion, and slothful induction. The user suggesting these edits was paid to do so. Recommend removing the flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmontanero (talk • contribs)
