It has been suggested before, then removed, that this jornal stub be merged into brothel. I think the idea has merit, as it seems to be mostly a matter of scale, not type or substance. Other opinions? -- nae'blis (talk) 19:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I cant see why not, put a subheading of "Mega Brothels" in the Washington article and thats that as far as i can see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurtas (talk • contribs) 22:44, July 29, 2006 (UTC)
NPOV Issue?
Can someone rephrase the following to better reflect Wikipedia's NPOV Standard:
- "Brothels are usually open late to accommodate the large quantity of men who are looking for sexual favors and have been drinking for multiple hours essentially reducing their standards since their view is through beer goggles."
It seems to cast a derogatory look on the practice. Please keep in mind that although brothels may be considered immoral to some, the practice has been both popular and commonplace in both Western and Eastern society for centuries. absolutecaliber
etymology
are you sure this is not another french word english rendering? french is "bordel" which ressembles "brothel". on top of this the expression "quel bordel!" is the same as "what a mess!". Cliché Online 12:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
british military brothel?
come on, what happened in australia, asia and africa? i'm pretty sure the british just acted like the other imperialist forces. by the way what about the US? is there a similar stuff, vietnam maybe? these boots are made for walkin'. Cliché Online 13:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Wording in Military Brothel section
The wording in the Military brothel section - particularly a few instances of the word order - sounds like it was written by someone for which English wasn't their first language. For example, "a brothel mobile service" and "in long term abroad operations". The content itself is fine, so I'm going to clean these and a few other minor issues in this section.

Modern history
I have started a major addition to the modern history of brothels. This is a work in progress and will take several months to complete and fully reference. Please allow me a little freedom and refrain from deletions until the revision is in a more advanced state. Aimulti (talk) 04:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Child brothels
The article should perhaps mention the existence of child brothels, which are commonly associated with the illicit practice of child prostitution in Southeast Asia. ADM (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

- I agree. One major problem is that it seems to be US-centric. Nevada (a US state) is mentioned several times, and even has its own section, even though this is a global subject with a history of several thousand years.
