Hi,

I deleted most of this article after having read through some of it; when I got to the part where it said "Such children, when nursed by their mothers in the workhouse, generally live." well...

I looked through the rest of it and could find nothing that really pertained to anything of an encyclopedic nature (except from a very narrow historical standpoint, which might go into Victorian baby-farming I guess; the latest reference was from 1902 if I recall).

The content just didn't seem salvageable to me. Way too much would have to be NPOV-ed and modernized. It seemed to me better to start with a fresher perspective.

Hephaestos

"Engelmacherin" ist wrong!

In Germany and Scandinavia there was an euphemism for this activity: "Engelmacherin" (German), "änglamakerska" (Swedish) and "englemagerske" (Danish), all literally meaning a female "angel maker". Sorry, but this is wrong, "Engelmacher(in)" is not an euphemistic synonym für "baby farming", but for "Unsafe abortion" (see also → de.wiki http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelmacher). Please forgive my bad English - but someone should correct this error immediately. Servus from Austria, --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 17:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This sentence ist now deleted because no one is contradicting so far. Servus, --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 09:02, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting. The information is actually correct. The Swedish version of this article is even called sv:Änglamakerska. The word refers to the job of killing a child, regardless of situation. This was often done in secret, through neglect, which should make it apply to baby farming. My authority: I'm Swedish. Lestermandersson (talk) 09:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And for a WP:RS: http://www.popularhistoria.se/artiklar/anglamakerskan/ , from a popular science history magazine. Sjö (talk) 20:27, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AS a german speaking person I can only confirm the above, Engelmacherin, is a women who performed (illegal) abortions not a child murderer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.202.250 (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but it's not so essential for me to start an edit-war, servus, --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I concur on the German term not referring to infanticide but to unsafe abortion. Have removed the German reference from the sentence, leaving the Swedish and Dutch references. Tschild (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional content?

The last point in the list at the end of 'Baby farming in works of fiction or popular culture' sounds like a bit of advert for the book - none of the other books have their awards listed?

Agreed, so I've removed it. That entire section needs pruning and rewriting of course. Anyone feel like volunteering? Eric Corbett 15:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vice Baby Farming

I just saw a piece on Vice about 'Baby Farms' in India, maybe it has relevance? Victor Grigas (talk) 02:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't, when I posted the necessary information about the number of victims, Louisa Marbreé, Mary Compton and more, I was blocked and they blocked the page, and look, I included reliable sources. 2804:49A4:4007:5000:58AD:4648:552A:591C (talk) 21:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When someone removed your information, did you try to talk to them about why this happened? There are some Wikipedia Etiquette that not everyone might now, like WP:BRD. I would recommend making an account and discussing what you desire to add here.

Baby Farming

Ok. Thank you ;) 45.231.76.103 (talk) 11:39, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Baby Farming

This page is poor in information. Baby farming is much more than what is mentioned here 45.231.76.222 (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding sources that don't support your points (look it's a painting with no information on all the other stuff.) Stop adding inline external links. And stop writing like it's a high school essay. We're an encyclopaedic, things like "of which I will not mention" is what you write when you're doing your homework, not writing an encyclopaedia article. And finally, get consensus for your edits, they've been removed multiple times by several editors and you're edit warring to put them back in. You risk getting blocked if you continue this edit warring.Canterbury Tail talk 21:26, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I think you're confusing me with someone else, probably [[user 45.231.76.103]], I dindn't make any edits here. Pay more attention to the things you use! 2804:49A4:4007:5000:252F:7651:E3C:3F79 (talk) 22:44, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No idea what you're responding to, I was responding to 45.231 above, so not sure why you would think anyone was talking about you. Unless you're the same person. Canterbury Tail talk 01:29, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
