We should merge Re-education and Reeducation - 31 december 2005

Agreed Robthebob 13:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, we should. David G Brault 19:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Reeducation is the term for deprogramming a brainwashed person, it is not a term for brainwashing itself. To teach otherwise is both incorrect and implies one is trying to convince ex-cultists that efforts to help them are the real harm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.22.241.31 (talk) 05:39, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

• Reeducation → Re-education
• Reeducation camp → Re-education camp (Vietnam) or Vietnam re-education camps
• Xinjiang reeducation camps → Xinjiang re-education camps
• Reeducation in Communist Romania → Re-education in Communist Romania
• Masanjia Labor Camp → Masanjia Re-education Through Labor Camp
• Daqing Reeducation Through Labor Camp → Daqing Re-education Through Labor Camp
• Shibalihe Women's Reeducation Through Labor Camp → Shibalihe Women's Re-education Through Labor Camp
• Wanjia Reeducation Through Labor Camp → Wanjia Re-education Through Labor Camp
• Datong City Reeducation through labor → Datong City Re-education through labor

– According to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary (2011), it should be spelled "re-education". Both versions are currently used in article titles (such as Re-education through labor). I suggest to make them more consistent. 提尔巴 (talk) 16:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

• Comment – even Wiktionary has it as "reeducation". So does dictionary.com. Bottom line, it looks like both are acceptable. I'm inclined to oppose unless I see a lot stronger evidence that "re-education" is used overwhelmingly over "reeducation". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Both spellings seem to be used. In Xinjiang reeducation camps "re-education" is used more than "reeducation" even though the article title seems other wise. I support for consistency throughout Wikipedia. ~ Araratic | talk 00:40, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support. It seems to be the more commonly accepted spelling. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support more correct and more common In ictu oculi (talk) 10:10, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
• Yes but "Re-education Through Labor Camp" should be consistently "re-education through labor camp". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:12, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

• Yes, the capitalizations are wrong in some of these and should be fixed when moved to insert the hyphen. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Re-education through labor vs Laogai

@My very best wishes: I'm sorry I reverted all the content of your edits yesterday at Re-education camp—I failed to scroll down enough to notice you (properly) removed some See also entries—but the disambiguation page entries for Re-education through labor and Laogai must remain separate. MOS:DAB, summarised at WP:DDD, requires only one blue link per entry. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:46, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Well, you now reverted only my second edit [1]. I guess your point is that Re-education in Communist Romania, for example, is not exclusively about the "labor camps" (there was a whole system, prisons, etc.), and it therefore does not belong to the list of meanings for Re-education camp. OK, that is logical. My very best wishes (talk) 17:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

On a second thought, I realized that Russian word "перевоспитание" [by labor] is obviously translated as "re-education". That was an official idea behind creating the Soviet labor colonies and Gulag much earlier. The Laogai system was modeled after the Gulag [2]. So, perhaps more "see also" or disamigs would be needed.
