User:Richard75 wants to capitalize Peter's Corollary, Peter's Plateau and Peter Principle, I assume because they're proper nouns. I had taken the caps out because Peter principle in the title and lead of the article is not capitalized as a proper noun so I assumed we were not dealing with a proper nouns here. If you disagree, first have a look at List of eponymous laws for other examples. ~Kvng (talk) 14:40, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The list convinced me to change it back. Richard75 (talk) 14:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Can't Identify Satire.

[edit]

Like the Dunning-Kruger "Effect," which Wikipedia also gets completely wrong, the Peter "Principle" is not any "a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter." It is a satire on the fatuous rhetorics of management, self-improvement, and lunatic positivity which litter the pretend-academia of the popular press.

The authors of this article fall for it, open-eyed, faces in search of a pie.

The article should be withdrawn and replaced with one identifying the satire.

The article literally says it's satire in the second paragraph of the lede. Richard75 (talk) 17:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does the lack of External links in that section mean links which were there have been removed? Mcljlm (talk) 12:26, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Compared versions step-wise to Jan-2021 & found no external links.
Perhaps page may have been pre-formatted with a template? GeoVenturing (talk) 18:49, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
