Talk:Sitting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From VfD:
Yes, an encyclopedia is supposed to be a repository of knowledge, and yes, this is knowledge and it's all factual...but I think this is just pushing the edge of ridiculous. Generally, people do not need instructions to sit in a chair and if they did, I doubt the Wiki is the first place they'd look. PMC 06:45, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This is not only about sitting on a chair. And the article has potential of growth. BTW, what about sitting, sit?Mikkalai 07:13, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It's kind of a "well, duh" article right now, but it could and should grow into an article investigating the various seating practices in different cultures. Besides, since when do articles have to be useful? • Benc • 07:40, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to sitting (replacing redir to human positions), and clean up. An article comparing forms of sitting in different cultures is a good idea. — Gwalla | Talk 17:58, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
BTW, I am not sure of my English, but isn't it true that the article is about "sitting", rather than "seating", i.e., the title is wrong? Mikkalai
- Weak keep. Seems expandable, but not at this name. Del redir currently at sitting, and move contents of this article to that title. ('Seating style' would only be appropriate if it was comparing restaurants using strictly FIFO, vs. parties w/reservations first, or maybe comparing seat layouts of different types of venue--horseshoe shape for opera house, straight-line for modern movie theater, etc. Also, it's more than just a list.)

- definitely "sitting" not "seating". Neutral on what gets done with it. -- Jmabel 00:17, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- Move to sitting. (Sitting is the preferred article name, see: Wikipedia:Naming_conventions) Kevyn 02:19, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures?
I need to see pictures of sitting examples.
- I concur and request pictures especially for the positions "Tailor", Lotus position and Half-lotus position. --Bensin 22:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

- How is this position called? It could be used here. --Abu Badali 22:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- The "squatting" photo is inappropriate for this article. Find someone clothed for it.

[edit] Which Indian is Indian Style
When I was in elementary school, the teachers were clearly under the impression that "Indian Style" was the style of Native Americans. Thanksgiving Indians, for example, sat indian style. However, I have to question-- is this sitting style named after Native Americans, or is named after the residents of India? Given the similarity to the clearly asian Lotus style, i'm inclined to suspect it might actually be named after the asian Indians. Alecmconroy 06:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Back
Is there a correct way to sit as to keep your back in good condition? Some people lean forward putting stress on one point in their back as they slouch. Others have their buttocks all the way back and sit up straight, which I think is better for your back and pose, though slightly more energy is needed to stay up. Any information on this? 70.111.251.203 13:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
