395: 857:'Cartel_(ship)' is part of cartel (international politics). When the phrase 'the cartel' was used to describe a ship it was used as an abbreviation for 'the cartel ship' i.e. the ship provided for the purposes of the cartel. In the same way as we may say "Take the Ford" instead of saying "Take the Ford car". The provision of these ships was just one aspect of the cartel, as there need to be more dealings between two warring states than just the battlegrounds. Negotiations, exchanges etc had to be made some way, even in the 18th century. I do not believe there is any need for a separate 'cartel_(ship)' page, only as a couple of paragraphs under 'cartel (international politics)' or whatever the page ends up as. Having it on the same page will also serve to make the proper usage of the ship clearer. 899:
for the standardized pre-payment of fees to the hospital, allowing the hospitals to remain solvent in the mid- and long-term (as, at the time, workplace injuries often happened en masse). In this case, it was in the interest of all parties otherwise frequently "in opposition" (with regards to wages, profits, etc.) to come to this arrangement, and without doing so, workers might not have been able to access (let alone afford) health care; the employers in turn might not have sufficient labor, and the local hospitals/doctors could not remain maintain a stable income, presence at all (feast/famine problem). Today's Kaiser Permanente is still sometimes called a cartel, for somewhat different reasons: it is not a formally structured monolithic entity, and exists only as an aligned/reciprocal

use. The 'Origins' section implies that the term came into being in the 1880s, and states that it came into the Anglosphere in the 1930s. I have no idea when it originated or where from but the word was in the Anglosphere at the turn of the 19th century when it was used to describe a communication channel between warring nations. I know for certain that a ship was used for a regular run between Boston & Nova Scotia for the exchange of captured seamen during the War of 1812 and that this was described as the 'cartel'. I also believe that the word may have been used during the 18th century to describe a go-between for offended parties prior to a duel when a 'second' was unavailable.
776:"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies, much less to render them necessary. 74: 53: 802:"An incorporation not only renders them necessary, but makes the act of the majority binding upon the whole. In a free trade an effectual combination cannot be established but by the unanimous consent of every single trader, and it cannot last longer than every single trader continues of the same mind. The majority of a corporation can enact a bye-law with proper penalties, which will limit the competition more effectually and more durably than any voluntary combination whatever. 632:
a...not so clean history, one could call those statements Slander. The mention of a monopoly, however, does focus on the right material. If DeBeers was a cartel, People's, and many other Diamond-available stores would be considered cartels. Instead of naming DeBeers, make mention of how Diamond-available stores are forced to do business with the Diamond cartel, which we all know exists. This way, it's not biased, NPOV, or slanted from the neutral territory.

article „cartel“ is wrongly named. It should better be called „cartel (economy)“, because it is limited to this sub area of real cartels, who regulate prices and output quantities. (However, this is the most important subject area of „cartel“). Thus, we have at least three articles of the second level: „cartel (intergov. agreement)“, „state cartel“ and „cartel (economy)“. Now the above reasonings can be applied to the proposals of article mergers:

I know this because I myself was trying to find this page via a google search, and Google supplies "Sinaloa cartel" and drug cartel in its top results; this Knowledge (XXG) page did not even make the first page of search results. I think rename this page to "cartel (economics)" or "cartel (business)", and having the disabiguation page occupy the space of "cartel", would actually 189: 84: 360: 880:

I believe it does contain (from it's introduction to the English language to present) something of a negative connotation, more often used by opponents of said "organizing", to imply some type of unfairness or corruption of extant written or unwritten practice, bu, has often also been "reclaimed", even prior to the concept of "word reclamation".

necessarily imply "anticompetitive" practices, or that the goal is "increased profit". Examples: early labor unions were often called as "worker cartels" (and I suppose in turn those organizing might attach to their employers a phrase like "robber baron", which is more easily understood as an epithet).

a narrow contemporary usage of the term (it is still used today in a looser and/or multivariable sense amongst academics, etc.), 1) that disambiguation should be the primary entry point to this topic, 2) the word is much older than presently attested) and 3) there is a strong case to tag this page as

This article seems to be written from a very narrow viewpoint, so narrow that is becomes completely wrong in parts. The opening sentence, i.e. "A cartel is a formal (explicit) agreement among competing firms", gives me the impression that it was written by someone only aware of 20th century business

Having identified the general term like above, all specific cartels, such as „cartel (intergov. agreement)“, „state cartel“ and so on, are second level. Third level is for instance, the „cartel (ship)“, because subordinate to „cartel (intergov. agreement)“. In this perspective, the seemingly general

the term (as far as I tell) is used only in reference to "economic" arrangements, as opposed to what is cited above (that is, using the word "cartel" with regards to things like the exchange of prisoners of war or "cartel ships", etc., seems to have dropped out of modern usage). However, it does not

The drug cartels are the same as any other business cartel. A cartel between milk suppliers is the same as a cartel between drug suppliers.

Could „cartel (ship) be integrated into „cartel (intergov. agreement) = a ship running to fullfil such an agreement. (This would be no violation of the rule of separating general and special subjects, because on the level of „cartel (ship)“ there is nothing similar, meaning: no second manifestation

I think there should be more emphasis to direct inquiries toward disambiguation. Evidently the use of the word has changed over the years, such as: " drug cartels are no longer actually cartels, but the term stuck and it is now popularly used to refer to any criminal narcotics related organization"

The latter of these is clearly a biased wording. The former may or may not be biased (depending on if it's true or not), but definitely needs sources. I've taken both out for now. The bigger question: Do we even need a whole paragraph on DeBeers' activities in the middle of this article? Isn't the

I just want to quickly add this: Cartels in nature are a bad thing. So, to get rid of the lack of neutrality, get rid of every exempt example: DeBeers is not exactly a good example, because the companies who sell the diamonds are not the people who control them, exactly. While DeBeers does have

I try to develop such a scheme as follows: The top level is of course the „cartel“ as a general, comprehensive concept. For this we have „cartel (disambiguation) and „cartel (concept)“. Thus, these could, in principle and following linguistic logic, be merged. But under what title? – To choose

I see that three years after my previous comment the page 'Cartel' is still about the modern commercial use of the word with a link to a disambiguation page where links are provided to pages for political usage (2 internal usages + 1 external), modern drug cartels and cartel as a ship.
