The attribution to Sir Walter Scott for the earliest attested use in print is in fact correct; this is supported by the Oxford English Dictionary. Although the publication date of the New York: Rudd & Carleton edition of The Life and Times of Hugh Miller is printed as 1809 (MDCCCIX), this is surely an error. It is a biography of the Scottish geologist and writer, born 1802, which was published in 1858 and reprinted in 1859. Falzōn (talk) 02:41, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Under the "Practices" section is a number of subcategories, from "Types of work" to "Compensation," "Copyright," and "United States of America." If information on other countries or groups of people were going to be included, would that information be put along with the "United States of America" in an ever-growing list in the "Practices" section?
Furthermore, the proceeding "Demographics" section almost exclusively focuses on USA and European demographical statistics, as does the rest of the article. The expansion of this article should include information of trends in the wider world, away from Western-centrism. For this to be accomplished, more categories would need to be created, if not a restructuring of the article as a whole. One source to gain insight into the wider global freelance marketplace is [1] and could be used in a new section. There is already [in India], so information on freelance should not be repetitive of that, though there are a number of additional sources from that page that could be incorporated. As far as I can tell, India is the only country to have its own article on freelance.
