Bad Routing

There is no way to get to the movie or the song "9 to 5" UNLESS you do it in the search-slot itself. What a user would EXPECT from Wikipedia, the USUAL practice, is one of two things: "9 to 5" goes to an article but the first sentence is "For the song, see blah blah blah, for the play, see blah blah blah, for the movie, see blah blah blah" where "blah blah blah"s are links. OR, "9 to 5" would go directly to a disambiguation-page that says "9 to 5 could refer to ..." and a list of links to articles. Why kind of world do we live in where someone (and someone whose opinion matters enough to implement it in Wikipedia) thinks that "9 to 5" as an encyclopedia-search is so OBVIOUSLY a reference to a standard 35-hour workweek (and not to ANY OTHER TOPIC, no, not POSSIBLY) that no route FROM that search to the song, movie, or play by that name needs to be built in?2600:8804:8C40:401:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 06:21, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Christopher L.

Tone of the article

The article reads as if technological advancements made it possible for people to work more, longer hours and it reads as if they did this willingly.

One could argue the exact opposite. That the change to a capitalist society forced this on the workers because the capitalists wanted the workers to work more, so the capitalist could earn more. A lot of shady things happened throughout history that undermined the position of the worker, too.

Maybe this should be incorporated more into the article. 2001:1C00:302:D200:FC44:6DB1:C99A:6006 (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
