This article is very misleading... I don't think "subscription"

• necessarily* means "constant revenue stream" at all! What

about when G.F. Handel advertised the publication of oratorios "by subscription" ? completely different!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.138.161 (talk) 01:25, 28 July 2004 (UTC)

What are the consequences for not paying for your subscription?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.7 (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

It would be nice if someone could add "subscription" in the sense of investors subscribing to participate in a securities round. In general, there is a business-to-business sense of the word whereby a subscription is a sort of qualified commitment by people to enter into a transaction or arrangement, contingent on its going off as planned. The promoter signs subscribers up one by one, then when they have enough people to make it happen they call in the subscriptions.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidemon (talk • contribs) 21:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Subscription

I was looking for an article talking about unsubscribing from email lists on web sites. This seems to be the best general article, I can't find a specific article for that.

Anyway I'm stripping out the advertisement first. Subsription is now a standard feature of every website, any coder can implement it open source. Mathiastck 09:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I am looking for the the two business models subscription and maintenance. What is common, but what is also the differences? Unfortunately, I could not found an article about maintenance. Would be glad if someone could help with that. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.169.127.113 (talk) 08:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Public subscriptions?

I think I have a good idea of what this phrase means in the context of, say, building a church or a monument. I've seen it used quite often in Wikipedia, right now in the Tin tabernacle article that I'm working on a little. In the U.S., we use the phrases "taking up a collection" or "was paid for by public donations."

However, although there is a Donation article, the word "subscription" doesn't appear on it, and as far as I could tell (thought I admittedly am getting tired!) there was no discussion in this article about public subscriptions, even though Subscription redirects to this talk page's article. Also, there's a separate article called Subscription (finance), which doesn't seem to refer to donations at all.

I'm sorry that all I can do is point this out, and I thank in advance whoever can take on this project. --Geekdiva (talk) 01:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
