Proposed Changes
[edit]Over the course of the next couple of weeks I will undertake to edit this page drawing on the experience I have working with Time Banks (the non-profit organization). My intention is not to change the page into an advertisement for Time Banks--as it seems to have been in the past--but to draw attention to some of the philosophical issues surrounding Time-based currency while providing case studies drawn from the various implementations of Time Banking in the U.S. The page currently strikes me as a somewhat dumbed-down treatment of the subject, one of the outcomes of which is the "excessively positive outlook" mentioned above.

Why one hour?
[edit]One hour equals one service credit, but why not 2 or whatever number of service credits? It would still be time based currency. Actually I'm planning to greate a time bank (LETS hybrid), where 1 service credit is 15 minutes. Teilolondon (talk) 20:26, 9 March 2013 (UTC)... {new time hours needed}..

Is this article has anything relate with In Time move?
[edit]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Time < Is it relate to this concept or anything? Should we refer to it as pop culture example? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThainaYu (talk • contribs) 11:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
article structure might require some reorganizing
[edit]note the 3 different explanations of the phrase "time banking" (in various, apparently synonymous, capitalization styles) across multiple subheadings. this to me feels very confusing, as if the same "definition" was copypasted from various sources without actually reading the article first... might need some rewriting? --87.146.126.155 (talk) 16:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Remove the text about Cornelius Castoriadis
[edit]There's a section about this philosopher's work in the 20th century section of the article. From my look through the mentioned texts, he seems to be advocating for equality of all labour and full equality of wages, critiquing the hierarchy of labour, but no where does he talk specifically about time based currency, thereby rendering the whole discussion at best tangentially related (equal value for all work) and at worst irrelevant. Not something that I feel should be in this article. Thelakeman25 (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
