The first two sentences heavily repeat each other. The second is unfootnoted, so one has to check the ref cited in order to merge them. Unfortunately I cannot do it myself due to my limited command of English and of high society. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:20, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

High society (social class) → High society – clearly this is a primary topic. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Accordingly , High society → High society (disambiguation), because the rest in the dab page are various titles and proper names. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Looking thru the article history, I see that the above ref and the other one:
were inserted onto on a chaotic text in a response to the {cn} tag. I highly suspect that this one, just as the other one, was thrown in just to shrug off the citation request for the term, and it simply "establishes its existence". Therefore according to wikipedia rule, I challenge the editors to provide the quotation form these references which substantiate the definition, which I find dubious.

Hello wikipedians for a class I have to edit articles and I was thinking of working on this article, here are some proposed citations that I would use and also an outline of what information I'd like to add.

For this article, I wanted to add more information. I wanted to add information on cases where members of high society have received better treatment than those from lower society. I also wanted to create a portion that focuses on what high society is made up of and how it affects America, in the sense that they are big decision makers and have more say in what happens in the world naturally through higher rank. I also wanted to focuses on this history of the high society in America and where it rests today. Much of the old money that was made in America has carried generations today and allows them to continue to be in high society. I want to ad facts about some examples of high society families that have roots deep in American past. I also wanted to look and add information that focuses on what it means socially to be part of high society, how their culture is and how they carry themselves. How high society interacts and connects to lower society and what role they play in lower societies life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Austindmorales (talk • contribs) 04:52, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
After deep research in trying to identify high society in modern times and other parts of the world. I think it would be safe to not merge this article with Socialite. A socialite can still exist today. But high society no longer exists. It is a very specific group of people from a specific time in America. When defining high society it only pertains to that group and no one else. It can be linked to other groups that exist today, like the upper class from old money and other parts of New York where the upper class is an elite group but it is not as profound as it once was like in the 1930's.

I'm very impressed with the work you've done, Austin. Great work. Moving forward, I think that you need to take the time to look at sources from the world of sociology. I mentioned Veblen before, and I think it's imperative that you include him here. You also need to look at the work of Shamus Kahn and also work on the elites in sociology (C Wright Mills, for instance). You must include more sociology citations for the final draft. Maybe consider having a section on the sociology of high society or sociology of elites?
Also: when referencing Washington, DC, it's "capitol," not "capital."
Take a look at the "Evaluating Wikipedia" handout that I sent in a previous email to see about revising your page for consistency in the Wikipedia style. Your article still kind of reads like an essay, and it is important to have it read more like an encyclopedia. Best of luck. @Austindmorales: Alfgarciamora (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
