Talk:Kerb crawler

"Curb"/"Kerb" and a Talk page of its own!

I have removed the redirect to Prostitution's Talk page. Seems counter-productive to redirect there. They've got more than enough to talk about already. Their Talk page has seven (7) pages of archives, in fact! Why shovel whole other article topics into that? Who's going to care about a specific "Kerb crawling" comment when they're grappling mightily with the overwhelming topic of "Prostitution"?

If there's going to be an article on a topic, there should be a Talk page for that article, period.

Having done that . . . I just wanted to say, if our article about curbs/kerbs is going to be named "Curb" -- and it is -- then it seems this article, in the interest of consistency, should be named "Curb crawling", shouldn't it?

It depends on what is the WP:Common name for the topic. Flyer22 (talk) 00:41, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Balph Eubank had redirected the article to Prostitution as well as the talk page. When I undid it, I forgot to undo the talk page's redirection - my mistake. That said, I'm pretty sure 'kerb crawler' is UK usage.--Launchballer 12:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Obstruction vs. Prostitution

I feel confident that I speak for the majority of motorists that when we hear the term "curb crawling" we associate it with an excessively slow driver creating an obstruction of traffic for ANY reason. This is the first time I have ever heard of "curb crawling" being associated with prostitution.

My point being, I came to this page to check whether the term is hyphenated, two words, or a compound word, and I feel that having an "Curb crawling" article associated with prostitution and not for slow-moving traffic (other than the Slow moving vehicle article which makes no mention of "curb crawling" whatsoever), shocking.

At the very least I expected to find an {{about}} or a {{for}} template at the top of this article... but no, nothing at all.
What's going on? Is there an obstruction of traffic "curb crawling" article and I'm just not using the correct keywords? Because, this article needs an {{about}} template - I just need to know where to direct readers to.

DeNoel (Christopher, Sheridan, OR), I think editors need to review the sources (WP:Reliable sources, of course) on the matter and work from there. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. While it is general knowledge, the article will require citations (no pun intended).

1985 v. 2001

The Sexual Offences Act 1985 article says that it criminalised kerb crawling in 1985. This article says that it was first criminalised in 2001. Both cannot be correct, so which is?? 2600:1004:B12B:F5F8:85D8:CB7E:CE27:C24C (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
