Opposite

what is the opposite of the turnkey term? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.140.194.15 (talk) 11:38, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bold text

[[Media: $Example.ogg$ $<math>Insertformulahere$ </math>]]he definition of "Turnkey" as defined by the introductory paragraphs. They refer to a different usage of the term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.6.205.34 (talk) 04:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC) [reply]

"Turnkey refers to something that is ready for immediate use". Why isn't this in the first paragraph? Instead we get some almost inpenetrable description of the same thing. Surely we should start by describing the concept in the simplest terms possible...? 212.137.27.116 (talk) 11:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct spelling?

Throughout the article both turn-key and turnkey are used. Can anyone state which is correct? --Reptile209 (talk) 13:08, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency (and consideration for the reader) would dictate that an author, in a single text, use only that variant which they hold to be correct or preferable. (The alternate spelling can be noted in parentheses as early as possible in the text.) No reader should have to face a text in which the same word appears in different spellings--for how can they then know for sure that it isn't actually a matter of two distinct terms? This principle is hugely more important than the question of which variant is ultimately considered 'correct' by whomever. 83.168.75.9 (talk) 12:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Analogy unclear

The words: ..without any contribution by the general contractors... in the plumber example is unclear. If general contractors do not contribute, what is it that they then normally do contribute?
