Magazine[edit]

Seniority is the name of a magazine catering to the aging population of Northern Ohio.

I could be wrong, but this doesn't sound like a notable magazine. I removed this text from the article (particularly because it doesn't fit in very well). If it's notable enough, it should have its own article and then it can be linked to at the top with a disambiguation notice. - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Politically[edit]

Surely there are more examples of seniority within politics, perhaps in the past? I mean, ever since humans started to live in groups the eldest male was often the leader of sorts. Some of the first "monarchies" must have had a seniority succession rule? 95.96.128.2 (talk) 16:13, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In employment[edit]

It would be useful to note whether, under union rules, it is people who have been at the company longer or those 'in charge' that get the benefits. It seems ambiguous at the moment. Jonpatterns (talk) 13:35, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship on French Wikipedia[edit]

I created an article about "Ancienneté" (Seniority) on French Wikipedia. It was suppressed.

Since this year with other censored new-born article i begin to believe Wikipedia promotes English articles at the expense of other languages.

I accept any information.

fr:Ancienneté seems to be a few years old. It has become smaller and larger but I see no indication that it ever disappeared. Censorship of that article should be discussed in that article's discussion page, and fr:Wikipédia:Accueil de la communauté will guide you to any general discussion of censorship, promotion, and other aspects of French Wikipedia.

"Seniority" at the office[edit]

My experience (working in the UK for 20+ years, in USA for 10+ years) is that this is an American concept. I have never heard of anyone "claiming seniority" in the office in England. Now it may be that I haven't worked in unionised industries in the UK, so it may apply there. But I haven't heard of it in discussions of labour relations either. So is it an American concept?
