Coworking article reads like a prospectus
[edit]“Coworking” reads as if written by an advocate rather than from an objective perspective 2601:640:8A00:1CC0:FCDE:3356:727:CF24 (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Grammar
[edit]"85% having finished an academic education" - What does this mean? What sort of education is not "academic"? My 6-year-old finished kindergarten, is that included?
"employers are more likely to have a doctorate." - Nonsensical. I tried to get the correct language from the referenced article, but it is also nonsensical. I wonder if this is a bad English translation from some original. GaryGo (talk) 18:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Expanded "Alternatives and evolution" to include third workplaces, distinguishing informal laptop-friendly spaces (cafés, hotels) from coworking memberships. Cited Axios and Forbes.
[edit]Alongside coworking, the idea of the third workplace has gained attention. Unlike coworking spaces, which are formalized and membership-based, third workplaces are informal or semi-formal environments not primarily designed as offices, such as cafés or hotel lobbies, that nevertheless support professional work.<ref name="Axios2021"/"AXIOS: Term “third workplaces” reshapes work norms beyond home/office.">https://www.axios.com/2021/06/25/third-workplaces-home-office-alternative?utm_source=chatgpt.com<ref name="Forbes2023"/"Forbes / Swinburne University study: Usage patterns of café workspaces among remote workers, particularly Gen Z.">https://www.forbes.com/sites/adigaskell/2023/03/16/is-2023-the-year-of-third-space-working/?utm_source=chatgpt.comWorkEverywhere (talk) 15:48, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
Proposed citation for History section
[edit]Hi, I am an industry researcher for the IdeaShacks blog. I noticed the 'History' section currently has a 'citation needed' tag regarding why remote workers sought alternatives to coffeehouses. I have published an objective industry analysis [1] that covers the drivers behind this transition. Does this source meet the reliable source requirements for this article? If so, would you permit me to add this as a reference? Subham Chand (talk) 11:38, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
- No, it does not. Blogs are almost never acceptable sources. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:47, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
