I am very aware of the general Wikipedia policy to use American spellings for American topics and British spellings for UK/Commonwealth topics. But obviously this topic is neither specifically one or the other and changing spellings within the article looks ridiculous. Changing them all to the American-preferred ones is not an instance of American imperialism but rather making the article seem comparable to other encyclop(a)edia articles.

This is understandable, but changing them all to Commonwealth Spellings would be just the same.

Privatization has a section of Arguments For and Against so its only natural that this article should too.
I second that notion. Otherwise the site will appear biased.
I support this notion.

The article on Socialization is disambiguating to this article: "[..]socialization can refer to nationalization in political science". This is not entirely true. Some people may think that they are synonyms, but many others do not. Please see Talk:Socialization. It should be fixed in some way. Kricke 02:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Hugo Chávez could have hardly tried to nationalize the oil industry in Venezuela, mainly because it had already been nationalized in the late 70´s, that entry in the "CIA and nationalization" section should be removed. In addition, the 2002 coup d'état was not about nationalizing the oil industry, but about the "revolutionary" laws that were being enacted (Land distribution, Fishing, etc).
I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sally Mae (sp?) were originally nationalised and still are under some sort of government guarantee. Maybe a more learned person could add these if I'm right? BaseTurnComplete 19:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

The British company Anglo-Indonesia was nationalised by the Indonesian government in the (60's?) as part of a government take-over of foreign companies in Indonesia. Don't know any more than that.

In the early 1960s the government nationalized much of the industrial, financial, and commercial sectors of the economy.

It is a very long run-on sentence that I can't understand. Can it be straightened out? 209.181.58.51 ( talk) 13:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Qantas wasn't nationalised. In 1947 the government, a minor shareholder already, bought out the others at an agreed price. Grassynoel ( talk) 06:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Is the socialism side bar necesary? The New Labour government (who dropped clause 4 in 1994, thus sort of renouncing socialism) have nationalised British Energy, Northern Rock and part of Bradford & Bingley. Even the ultra right wing US government are nationalising financial institutions left, right and centre.
Also note, the spelling of Nationalisation is with an 'S'. I have even checked a concise Oxford English Dictionary and can find no mention of any alternative spelling. Mtaylor848 ( talk) 19:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
The other day I added, AIG, Citigroup, Bank of America, Chrysler, and General Motors after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under U.S. 2008 nationalizations. This was removed for being unsourced and not fitting the definition.
The sources for those companies' bailouts are all incredibly easy to find - and I also note that there are no sources currently listed for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac being nationalized, and yet they remain in the article. I think we need to come to some definition of what constitutes nationalization for the purposes of the article. In particular, I think AIG can clearly be described as having been nationalized, with the banks having been semi-nationalized. I will admit that it's a little harder to make the case for the auto companies, for the time being. In all cases, however, the government has purchased STOCK of the above-mentioned companies, thereby retaining an ownership interest. 129.61.46.60 ( talk) 19:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
The US government taking control of airport security doesn't seem like nationalization. It is more like that they just kicked the companies performing security operations out of the airports. They didn't really take any ownership in those companies. -- Melab±1 ☎ 21:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Nationalisation is simply the British spelling. Oddly enough, "mispelt" (sic) is a misspelling! 203.13.3.92 ( talk) 21:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
The list for the United Kingdom has "1933 London Transport"; I believe that whilst London Transport was formed in 1933 (London Passenger Transport Act 1933), it was not nationalised until 1948; if it had already been state owned, it would not have been mentioned in either the Emergency Powers (Defence) Act 1939 as an organisation to be placed under Government control. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 13:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Can anybody help? I heard that at one point a cartel of landlords bumped up rents in Singapore until the government stepped in and nationalised their flats. Out-of-character for a country where a large portion of the economy was privately owned. Anybody got info on this? Zagubov ( talk) 15:00, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

This statement does not look true to me. As far as I know from the history of this country, one was not allowed to own "means of production", but, surely, there was private ownership for food, clothes, houses, apartments (cooperative apartments) and any other kinds of personal things, as well as money. The state, on the other hand, owned plants, factories, hospitals, educational institutions, etc. 178.176.48.255 ( talk) 02:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Spanish telecommunication company Telefonica was nationalized from American ITT in 1945. This is reference-- http://www.fundacion.telefonica.com/es/arteytecnologia/museo/nave/nave/sup/20/hechos/43.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.47.192.163 ( talk) 19:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Emminent Domain is the American form of expropriation. The suggestion that expropriation involves nationalization without compensation would appear to be inaccurate. If this article is within the scope of socialism, as stated, then expropriation is not appropriately discussed, as capitalism can lead to rationales for expropriation as well. At the outside, one might wonder if nationalization is more term of substance or rhetorical polemic. Emminent Domain article lists other countries providing for similar legal actions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.100.28.63 ( talk) 05:31, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

I think it might be undue to include China's claim about their SOEs. This article isn't even about China in particular, and that just happened to be an example. Benjamin ( talk) 04:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
