Right now the article reads like a pamphlet advocating for UBI, with a few exceptions. No problem with "pro" arguments being included but more critical and neutral ones are needed aswell. 24.44.73.34 (talk) 11:21, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Criticism sections are deprecated. Wikipedia policy is to remove them from articles where possible. Where there are missing arguments they should be added in appropriate places within the article. -- Derek Ross | Talk 00:35, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Criticism sections are deprecated"
"Where there are missing arguments..."
What does this mean? Janosabel (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Derek Ross Criticism sections are alive and well and there is no consensus view against them. There is a somewhat controversial essay, but no official guidelines on the matter. The idea that any format might be "deprecated" is incredibly rare on Wikipedia, and it applies even less in this particular case. EditorPerson53 (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No consensus view against them? You'll have to forgive me. This has gone to and fro over the years. Last time I checked there was a consensus view against them, and now you're saying there isn't. Well, it's been a long time since I last checked so thanks for the update. I was unaware that the pendulum had swung back. -- Derek Ross | Talk 18:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I take a more nuanced view: for articles on organizations, criticism is better worked into the history of the organization, or current events. But for articles on concepts or policies, criticism sections are very relevant and important. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:59, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of minor edits I would like to make throughout the article to make it read better. For example, the word automatization is not correctly used here. I think what the writer meant was automation. The latter word is used throughout the rest of the article.WCSUEconProf (talk) 18:33, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Too much focus on US in the section about the 21st century? (the following is mainly about US):
"In 2019, in California, then-Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs initiated an 18-month pilot program of guaranteed income for 125 residents as part of the privately funded S.E.E.D. project there. In the 2020 Democratic Party primaries, political newcomer Andrew Yang touted basic income as his core policy. His policy, referred to as a "Freedom Dividend", would have provided adult American citizens US$1,000 a month independent of employment status. On 21 January 2021, in California, the two-year donor-funded Compton Pledge began distributing monthly guaranteed income payments to a "pre-verified" pool of low-income residents, in a program gauged for a maximum of 800 recipients, at which point it will be one of the larger among 25 U.S. cities exploring this approach to community economics. Beginning in December 2021, Tacoma, Washington, piloted "Growing Resilience in Tacoma" (GRIT), a guaranteed income initiative that provides $500 a month to 110 families. GRIT is part of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Guaranteed Income Research larger study. A report on the results of the GRIT experiment will be published in 2024."
