Talk:Pigeonholing

Untitled

"See also: Pigeonhole principle the term pigeonholing is used to sterotype people in categories."
Should be better replaced with pigeonhole instead. My reason is that the pigeonhole principle is a mathematical principle which took its name from pigeonhole. Hence, both "pigeonholing" (this article) and "pigeonhole principle" both got their names derived from "pigeonhole" (pigeon coop, or a housing for pigeons), so they should "see also" their root word instead of each other.

The description "the term pigeonholing is used to sterotype people in categories." for "pigeonhole principle" doesn't fit. "Stereotype" is also misspelt.
Please edit, I do not really know how to do so. I feel that it is better replaced by "Pigeon_coop#Pigeon_housing" but that will show the "#" symbol and I don't know if it's acceptable.

"An example of pigeonholing in everyday conversation occurs when a person making an apolitical or barely political comment is assumed to have a certain political belief, without ascertaining their political stance. Such an erroneous designation is especially erroneous when assigning it to people who live in places where the right-wing left-wing dichotomy is not present." --> What !! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.174.42 (talk) 19:39, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
