== "Suisare" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] ==
==Very American?==
[[File:Information.svg|30px]]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect [[:Suisare]] and has thus listed it [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|for discussion]]. This discussion will occur at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 20#Suisare]] until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. <!-- from Template:RFDNote --> [[User:TartarTorte|<b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>]][[User talk:TartarTorte|<b>Torte</b>]] 21:03, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
I hate to be rude, but the descriptions here are very...American? For example, if one is invited to a dinner party in Europe and the UK, it's often a dinner and alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks, and/or a party during which a communal semi-formal friendly meal will usually be served at a set table or eaten together in a communal area. The only formality is that it'd be rude to roll up wearing a tracksuit. Suits and dresses are not necessary. Turning up in jeans, depending on the friend, is okay. Dinner parties in Europe tend towards the informal. One brings a bottle, turns up in jeans if one wishes and if it is possible and sits at a set table with the host, usually for three or four courses, sharing laughter, jokes, food and anecdotes. This is rarely a formal event. Inviting a friend to a 'dinner party', then expecting them to stand and only feeding them little snacks is usually seen as the height of hostility, formality and uncouthness. Conversely 'neighbourhood' and festival parties might be closer to this idea of 'dinner parties', but it's very not much the same here. A set meal may be provided - it is rare but not unheard of - and whilst it may be more of a 'standing' arrangement, friends and neighbours are the usual guests. These being people you know, once again, formality is not huge.

In general the whole topic seems Americanised and ethnocentric. Can we have some European/Asian/African input on the topic? This reader is European and the whole topic seems alian because of the ethnocentricity. In European towns and villages, such a party format as described is a little…odd. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.111.151.25|81.111.151.25]] ([[User talk:81.111.151.25|talk]]) 00:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Not rude at all. I'm sure input from other cultures would be welcome. To my Australian eyes it generally looks reasonable. I'd love to contribute to an de-Americanisation (as I'm sure American editors would), but it's not clear to me where culture differences lie. Please, international editors, contribute!

== Door prizes? ==

I know some parties and social gatherings have such a thing as 'door prizes' or other contests where the guests may win something, from a toy to a DVD... However, searching wikipedia for 'door prize' returned no results? What gives? ;P --[[User:Ayelis|Ayelis]] 17:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

: Could be because there's nothing particularly encyclopaedic to be said about door prizes? Maybe some context could be given on this page, but at the moment the wiktionary entry seems to be sufficient: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/door_prize

==Lemon Party==
I call, that was just added as a reference to the shock site --[[User:Stilanas|Stilanas]] 21:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
:Obviously. For future reference, there's no need to add something on a talk page when removing the work of a vandal. [[User:24.126.199.129|24.126.199.129]] 02:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

'Removed poor language'

==Merge==
'''Support'''. [[Celebration (party)]] should be merged to [[party]] then deleted. Everything that could or should be covered in celebration is and will be covered in party. [[User:24.126.199.129|24.126.199.129]] 02:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

== RAVE ==

Why is it stated that coke partys feture cocane but nothing is mentioned about Extacy in the topic of a rave as most, if not all raves involve the excisive use of the drug MDMA

== Party Fouls ==

There probably be some mention of what a party foul is, and what types there are. Another page could be set up for this because it currently does not exist.

== Rape party? ==

Who actually throws one of these? [[User:Davfoster88|Dave Foster]] 22:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

: Sounds like one of those moral panics that parents invent, like those rainbow parties. Voluntarily attending a rape party creates an interesting version of the [[Liar's Paradox]]. [[User:Paul Murray|Paul Murray]] ([[User talk:Paul Murray|talk]]) 02:10, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

== Comic strip features Wikipedia's "Kegger" ==

See [http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004215.html here]... actually, it references "Raging kegger", but there's no Wikipedia article on that. ("Kegger" itself redirects to this article, Party.) [[User:Dtobias|*Dan T.*]] 01:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

==Is this blood/tasteless vandalism?==
[[Image:After_the_party.jpg|350px|right|thumb|So, we assume someone had an "accident" with a wine glass, yes?]]

[[User:TheListUpdater|TheListUpdater]] 02:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

:: I think it is red wine. It's too runny to be blood. [[User:Maustrauser|Maustrauser]] 02:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It's clearly punch, there's bottles of lemonade there --[[User:83.100.165.166|83.100.165.166]] 19:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== Party Jini? ==

Is the PartyJini link added so often to the article notable? Does it add anything besides linkspam to the article? I smell spam. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 20:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

==Keg Party==
Keg party redirects to this page, but is unmentioned in the article. Could anyone fix that please? [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] 00:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

==the verb "to party"==
Someone should consider writing about the way that the verb "to party" is commonly used more and more these days, at least here in the United States.
[*] This is not proper English. In literate English, 'party' is always a noun and never a verb. This need not be included and is an affront to the language. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.111.151.25|81.111.151.25]] ([[User talk:81.111.151.25|talk]]) 00:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

[[User:Whoistheroach|Whoistheroach]] 15:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

: Funny then that the verb (actually 3 of them) is listed in [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/party#Verb Wiktionary], although other sources list it as "informal". Nonetheless, as the OP suggested, it is "commonly used". Affront or not, it's usage is culturally significant and since wikipedia is "a summary of accepted knowledge" I believe it is acceptable content. [[User:LightYear|LightYear]] ([[User talk:LightYear|talk]]) 02:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

==History of parties==
I was interested in learning about the history of parties and festivals, specifically with regard to when the modern western practices of [[slow dancing]] and [[grinding]] developed. I want to know what there was before.

Perhaps [[Victorianism|Victorian]] separation of the sexes and taboos against dancing kept slow dancing and grinding out of existence. Also, perhaps the music genres of [[ballads]] (associated with slow dancing) and [[rap]] and [[reggaeton]] (associated with grinding) weren't in existence or prevalent. But it seems improbable to me that slow dancing and grinding are entirely new phenomena in the world. Message me if you know how to help answer my questions.

[[User:Whoistheroach|Whoistheroach]] 16:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

It has been three years and still no progress on this topic! please help!--[[User:PedroV100|PedroV100]] ([[User talk:PedroV100|talk]]) 08:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm also a bit disappointed with this article, because I hoped to have a historical/sociological/anthropological viewpoint of parties, given that their occurence seems to be almost cultural universal.

==Create Celebration article/ merge with party==

I think that we should make a celebration article and just add in party as a form of celebration... this article is to blatant. [[User:RYNORT|RYNORT]] 00:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


:Not in favor - well, only some types of parties are celebrations (in the sense they are celebrating something) - looking at the types of parties covered in the article, pre-party, after-party, dinner party, and the whole range of parties whose purpose is simply to have a party... would not make sense as celebration. Since [[Celebration]] disambiguates here, maybe try to create a -Party as Celebration- section, and see if you can build it up into something worthy of a separate article. But I think while Party and Celebration have some overlap, both concepts also have much unlike, and Celebration itself is much less concrete than Party, encompassing everything from very somber occasions [[wake (ceremony)]] to [[festival]]s to government holidays, etc, etc... --[[User:Marcinjeske|Marcinjeske]] ([[User talk:Marcinjeske|talk]]) 19:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC) We should most likely also look at the various aspects in terms of the industries generated by parties such as the Audio visual industries as well as Disc Jockeys and [http://www.northernbeaches-speakerhire.com DJ hire]companies and how their role has origionated over the course of history

==parties around the world==
[[Azouma]] and [[paris-vente]] should be mentioned (these are partys in chad that are more or less obligatory, set-up by women) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.182.187.101|91.182.187.101]] ([[User talk:91.182.187.101|talk]]) 08:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Sex ==

I don't know what kind of "parties" people attend, but it seems sex seems to always occur at these parties. [[User:Apple8800|Apple8800]] ([[User talk:Apple8800|talk]]) 15:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

==Disambiguation==
I would contest that this page should reside at [[party]]. It is hardly the "[[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC|primary meaning]]" of the term. The "primary meaning" depends very much on context.
If no context is given, the intended meaning may just as well be [[political party]]&nbsp;or [[party (law)]], or indeed any of the other meanings of the term. --[[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|(𒁳)]]</small> 10:12, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

== Edit request, 5 December 2013 ==
{{Edit semi-protected|answered=yes}} I would like to add to this page for my school project. I will be adding children's parties.[[User:Comp200|Comp200]] ([[User talk:Comp200|talk]]) 02:48, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

:[[File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] '''Not done:''' this is not the right page to [[WP:PERM|request]] additional [[WP:RIGHTS|user rights]].

== Gallery - for what? ==

Don't really see the purpose of the gallery here, as the article is full of very similar pictures already. But perhaps someone cares to explain why we need it, especially [[User:Wahrmund]]?! Thanks. -- [[User:Horst-schlaemma|Horst-schlaemma]] ([[User talk:Horst-schlaemma|talk]]) 19:07, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

:The gallery should be kept because, as explained in [[WP:Image galleries]], it adds to the reader's understanding of this very diverse topic. The fact that parties '''are''' a very diverse topic can readily be seen from the length of the article and its numerous sections. If you think there are too many pictures scattered throughout the article, then some of these might well be moved down into the gallery. [[User:Wahrmund|Wahrmund]] ([[User talk:Wahrmund|talk]]) 16:02, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

::I was just saying that the gallery repeats what is in the article already. That's why I feel it's redundant really. Cheers, [[User:Horst-schlaemma|Horst-schlaemma]] ([[User talk:Horst-schlaemma|talk]]) 15:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 23 May 2015 ==

{{edit semi-protected|Party|answered=yes}}
<!-- Begin request -->
For the after-party subheading, include the following:
An after-party is a party held after a formal event, such as another party, a premiere, an awards ceremony, a musical or theatrical performance or after some other event, such as a wedding or a school dance. Guests are usually limited to friends of the host.
<!-- End request -->
[[User:Gerardkhoo|Gerardkhoo]] ([[User talk:Gerardkhoo|talk]]) 07:27, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:[[File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg|20px|link=]] '''Not done:'''<!-- Template:ESp --> For brevity's sake, I don't think including more examples of events an after-party could occur is necessary. The distinction between "formal" and "non-formal" events doesn't seem necessary either, since some awards ceremonies may be formal and some may be informal, where to draw the line is unclear. [[User:Altamel|Altamel]] ([[User talk:Altamel|talk]]) 04:10, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

== Religious parties ==

I think we should remove the section "religious parties". Easter, christmas, Hanukkah, etc are holidays, but not parties. [[User:Rayukk|Rayukk]] ([[User talk:Rayukk|talk]]) 09:23, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
:Considering that this article is extremely broad, I'd keep it. Christmas parties are not uncommon at all, Hanukkah, I'm not Jewish so don't know, and Easter seems iffy to me though could the yearly White House lawn Easter event be considered a party? Perhaps. [[User:Gandydancer|Gandydancer]] ([[User talk:Gandydancer|talk]]) 13:09, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

== Australian B&S ==

The Australian B&S ball rates a mention - it is a distinctive type of party held by people living in country areas of Australia, where there can be very great distances between small communities. [[User:Paul Murray|Paul Murray]] ([[User talk:Paul Murray|talk]]) 02:07, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
