(Has non-podcast meaning)
editI guess I must be getting old if "drunk tank" isn't a term that's recognized outside the apparently popular podcast... 99.231.241.146 (talk) 02:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Redirects for discussion
editThis page was nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion on 21 April 2011. The result of the discussion was revert to disambiguation page. |
There is currently a discussion involving this page at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion#Drunk_tank. -France3470 (talk) 11:38, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- No consensus -- the result is to keep the current redirect as a service to gamers worldwide. 99.231.241.146 (talk) 02:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Actually the discussion has been closed as "revert to disambiguation page" per the consensus there. Thryduulf (talk) 08:33, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oops! Sorry about that. I didn't see any objection, so I thought it was the right thing to do. Looking back at the discussion, however, it's obvious that reverting to disambiguation would have been the correct outcome. Thanks Thryduulf! 99.231.241.146 (talk) 21:03, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

The point of a disambiguation page is to be an index of Wikipedia articles. If there's an article, we link to it - we don't add entries without links. It is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Boleyn (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Primary topic
editI found and removed the following Tag & comment on the accompanying main-namespace page:
- {{Disambiguation cleanup|date=May 2011}}
<!--
has been cleaned up twice to meet MOS:DAB, but these have been reverted; there has been a rfd discussion (see what links here). 1st entry is now a dictionary definiton and doesn't meet MOS:DABMENTION; 2nd entry seems to be a partial match; see also isn't a usual/valid entry.
-->
There seems to have been no discussion of the choice of equal dab'n, perhaps bcz the other decisions used up all the oxygen. There seem, in the edit history, to have been deletion(s)/Wikt-transwiki(s), but the content of the Dab entry i found, for the cop sense, was too much for a Dab, more than a dictdef, and failed to address the nuances i've added (which are in turn just a context for the historical development and current policy and issues that a proper encyclopedia article deserves). I don't know what names are formally used for drunk tanks, but there is surely an academic and government literature, and until the podcast breaks out beyond a game-fan audience, the cop sense is clearly primary.

Untitled
editThe information that sobering-up station was invented in 1951 in Czech Republic is untrue.
The first center for a drunk people was opened in Russian Empire 7 Nov 1902 in Tula. http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%8B%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C
- It is not a center for drunk people it is a special kind of facility holding drunken people for one night only. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 09:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also provide some sources other then wikipedia please. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 11:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Exactly: Russian "Vytrezvytel" (sobering-up station) was the place where the durnk people were gathered to stay overnight and become more sober. Here are the links: http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=19771 and http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0038-5859(198904)41%3A2%3C254%3ADAGISP%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z The second one it the peer reviewed journal. The first station in SU was opened 20 (!) years before "invention" in Czech Republic. Could not find any peer reviewed source in English for 1902, though, but plenty sources in Russian exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.244.221.1 (talk) 01:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
International relevance
editThe concept of a sobering station is absolutely not limited to the czech republic. they exist in the US. article needs expansion.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable. I'll tag it with globalize. If this is an international concept, national wikiprojects should be removed from this talk page. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 06:56, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Merge with Drunk tank?
editSeems to me that these two articles cover the same concept. Anyone has any comments?Hq3473 (talk) 20:58, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
- I was about to suggest the same thing. W. P. Uzer (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Image
editIs the NZ booze bus in the image actually a drunk tank, or just a sobriety checkpoint? W. P. Uzer (talk) 13:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Good catch - I may have misunderstood this. The short answer is, without more information or seeing inside the vehicle, I don't know. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 14:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
