Talk:Massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game/Archive 1

Move again
I agreed that the location of MMORTS was a bad location for this stub. But words in an article title shouldn't all be capitalized unless it is a proper name (such as George Washington). So I moved it to the appropriately named location. See also the similar discussion on MMORPG. —Frecklefoot 16:57, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * It's a name of a category, no one refers to an MMORTS as "massive multiplayer online real-time strategy", everyone uses "Massive Multiplayer Online Reak-Time Strategy". The same thing happens with Arecibo Observatory and Massive Multiplayer Online Game. --Maio 20:14, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

See my comments on the talk page for MMORPG. This article move should stand and the other should be moved. —Frecklefoot 21:18, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

Mech Crusaders
My apologies for including Mech Crusaders game under the heading of MMORTS - however, I am a little confused as to why it should be edited out - can someone enlighten me? Mech Crusaders is a real time Strategy game, and it is massively mulitplayer too... only its medium is a browser window rather than its own executable. Can it not still be included? Kouros 18:08, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I haven't played it yet, but I couldn't see how a browser game could be a Real-time strategy game. Looking at the definition again, such browser games are indeed Real-time strategy games, like pretty much every other browser game in which you get ressources and can build armies etc., therefore all of these games should be mentioned here, or none of them. I'd vote vor the latter one, and list games like Mech Crusaders here. I'm unsure of my actions now tho, because technically spoken, you're right. I just think people never thought of browser games when they invented the term "Massively multiplayer online real-time strategy". --Conti|✉ 18:50, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks, ContiE. Admittedly, I had the same thought - sometimes these new definitions are given too freely, and, if I may be blunt, someone really needs to give a firm statement that X is really part of Y family or whatever.

 * If I had to choose, I would suggest that browser games would not be given their own subcategory, but should be placed within the genre that the actual game is placed, and not its medium. Kouros 19:16, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sole Survivor
Although I cannot remember it very much, infact I never owned it as it didn't get a European release, but didn't Command and Conquer Sole Survivor allow a lot of players at once? Yeah you controlled one unit and all, but it's still a real-time strategy in a MMO setting. - Ferretgames 15:28, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Shattered Galaxy in External Links?
Uh... Shouldn't Shattered Galaxy be included in the external links section? Or is that not needed since it's mentioned in the second paragraph..

Battle For Middle Earth 2
Wouldn't this game fall under this category?

No BFME2 is just an RTS game, not MMORTS.

Rewrite required
Apart from the opening paragraph, this article is just a mess of adverts and random facts about random games. I don't know enough about the genre to rewrite it heavily, but we should be shaping this into at least a coherent history of the MMORTS - how the genre began, what developments its made and what the most notable examples of it are at the moment. --McGeddon 12:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

ASSAULT 3.0 MUD
This was the first RTS DikuMUD, developed by Amnon Kruvi from a stock copy of Ack!Mud between 2000-2006. 70.5.234.118 06:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC) The code was publicly released, and was maintained to a certain degree by a community member Demortes. It can be found at.

Can we please fill in the to do list (I predict it will be very long)--Exarion 00:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

MMORTS Titles
I need help gathering popular released and anticipated announced titles for more examples of content in the genre. Will also try to clean up the article as a whole.ITZKooPA 19:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I can help with that but I've only been able to add three more popular active MMORTS. I think that's all we can add considering how little MMORTS there is. (UTC)

Maybe use google sometime and actually visit a MMORTS site? Seems we have no MMORTS players deleting stuff here but MMORPGers. Boundless Planet and Time of Defiance deleted? Saga? Beyond protocol? This is meant to be an information source not a version of history dreamed up by specific contributors. --Stoneface1970 00:30, 12 January 2008

Stoneface1970: What would you say are MMORTS sites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.40.57.190 (talk) 15:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I would challenge that the definition of a few things need to be described. First: When did having masses of marketing constitute that a game is meant to be included? If mass marketing was the example, there are MANY artists in the renaissance period that would not have been included. If you remember the beginning of the FPS genre, it was a couple of guys in a garage. Perhaps we should go and delete DOOM and Wolfenstein from the FPS genre because they didn't get a number one hit on the google search or had tons of advertising in their period? If you insist on the amount of marketing material, then perhaps we need to get the gaming magazines and television ads, run through their advertisements and figure out which ones are an MMORTS?

Second: MMORTS is a genre that is still in its infancy. I think that MMORTS.com is a pretty reliable source for figuring out what games are in the genre and have current relevance. MMORTSGamers.com is another site that is player led that shows a number of titles in the genre. So instead of adding and deleting the same content over and over. Perhaps its time that we explain what an MMORTS is and it is not. To do this, we need to break apart the MMO from the RTS and answer the questions seperately and then discover what an MMORTS really will become.

Third: Google is a known scam that if the site owner works extremely hard on their links, they can get to the number one slot. It is absurd to think that Google is the end all of knowledge. As much as their stockholders believe it is, that is still left to debate. --Interested Observer, 1/12/2008
 * I removed those titles because this is an article about the genre, not a list of games in the genre. They were listed as "announced titles," and the genre is also in its infancy as stated, so I don't think it's really prudent to include them. Even so, mature genres still don't get this listing. (eg, FPS and RTS.) In the case of Boundless Planet, it was inserted at the very top of the list, with a description that was almost certainly vanity of some sort, although I think someone else deleted that entry. All that said, this article is not a list. It shouldn't list every single released game in the genre. However, I think it's fine to keep them on this page, at least until the genre matures a bit and we can start seeing a wider variety of titles; but not the titles that are still in development.
 * As McGeddon says in the Rewrite Required section above, this article just looks like a messy collection of advertising with the title list. Ong elvin (talk) 16:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

 * For a genre that is completely internet based and (for the titles listed) does its distribution on the net, Google is a perfect way to judge inclusion. While simply having sufficient hits does not mean it should be included, not having sufficient hits means it doesn't belong. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 14:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Well being as it consistently gets edited by many who know nothing about the genre- this has led to it being ignored bar google. How do you explain the MMORPG and WoW entry? Would it be fair - having not played it - for me to edit it according to MY views on the genre? More history will be added as will more relevant genre specific information but until this is put together you leave the genre with an impression of inactivity. The comments on history and problems are inaccurate and misleading but we haven't culled it until we have replacement text. The inclusion of the word avatar speaks volumes about the authors actual knowledge in the genre as only one game has such a feature - Dreamlords - and this is still in beta. So? Let us evolve the content without barbaric editing - guide us fine but continued deletions according to a genre newbies whim will lead to more strife here. Small developers have more riding on this than Blizzard and their HUGE WoW walkthrough you have left unedited. Disgraceful double standards.

As to the contention that Boundless planet was pumped up - set up by two devs in a room it held its own and defined many areas of the genre for innovation. Maybe the mankind fan stroked you all up the right way but the article is only about Mankind and Shattered Galaxy - A MMORTT !! Let the experts arguye over this and see how busy it gets. Leaving it to wiki to define has led to very little activity and led to wanna be admins acting like gods. BTW - the author asking me to define the genre thought I had posted the comments above mine - the ones who seemed to think no MMORTS games existed. ie the genre newbs. Stoneface1970 22:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, even genre newbs can know when something absolutely isn't right. "HUGE WoW Walkthrough" got a whole lot of their articles deleted a while back, don't have to be a genre pro to know they didn't belong (just able to tell what is and isn't encyclopaedic). Even if it weren't, you can't really say it's double standards; it could just be that there's no-one who can be stuffed cleaning up. With the BETA titles, I still think they shouldn't be there, even if they're pretty much guaranteed to be released soon; although like I said, genre is still in its infancy, so I'm not gonna balk at it. Should probably keep the lists in alphabetical order, or some other similar criteria. Ong elvin (talk) 07:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Stoneface, it seems you want us to ignore all Wikipedia convention regarding verifiability and notability just so you can have your precious MMORTS games listed? If only so called MMORTS-experts know about them, then they're not very notable are they? (Also, if you bothered to read the article it says that MMORTSes DON'T use avatars.) --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 14:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

TheSeer, wikipedia is always balancing such conventions and there are many areas that need attention. There are entries here for soft drinks with a list of ingredients and nothing else!! Come on - you obviously are annoying the actual gamers here and relegating wiki to nothing content wise. Why do you keep referring to lack of notability? Surely the more notable the less need for wiki? Everything on the wiki entry for WoW is duplicated on actual WoW wikis! So relevant? The point also highlights the opposite of your argument in that without notability surely those seeking knowledge would need the links to game pages to get more information about such an obscure subject. As to the deletion of Boundless Planet - many games in your browser game list have far less subscribers or warrant pages of their own. The point of the games list is relevant then as it points to information not given in the main entry. btw - check out mmortsgamers.com - you made the forum :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stoneface1970 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

 * This latest series of edits by some user has expanded on the history of the genre. Not that I think the information is bad per se but... it's style just seems wrong. I dunno... Ong elvin (talk) 02:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Again I repeat - a whole bunch of WoW articles were deleted a while ago. The ones that remain were shown to fit under alternative policies for inclusion, such as WP:FICT. Notability is a criterion for inclusion. Yes, you can argue "the more notable the less need for a wiki" but then that means that I myself should have an article, doesn't it? Ong elvin (talk) 02:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree, the style is too informal and ... strange. I've removed a paragraph about "community" issues that weren't unique to the MMORTS at all and rewritten a lot of the other paragraphs. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 04:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * If you think the games on the browser game list article don't warrant inclusion, then remove them. However, you'll likely find that they probably have a larger player base than most of the MMORTSes mentioned due to their ease of playability. Also, just for the record (since you seem to want to assume too much) I've played Boundless Planet... long long time ago, I think I even attacked your base once. Also, as to the forum article:

 * "As for the Boundless Planet entry - they seem to think I owned it - shows how much they bother actually finding out about things. The deletion states.." -- Twinkle automatically informs the creator of the article, that doesn't mean that you own it but as the creator you were likely to believe that it warranted inclusion and hence it warned you.
 * "though as this is hindering our genre and the developers who are3 banking on providing us with amazing games to play." -- This makes it exceedingly obvious that your only purpose is not to improve the wiki, but to advertise the MMORTS genre. Infact, every comment you make on the forum post is twisting my intent and I cannot believe you could draw the conclusions that you have from my comments (you can't even seem to identify sarcasm).
 * What MMORPG interests? I play KoL casually (it's a browser based game, do you see me trying to delete every non-browser based game? I think not.) -- I also play The Universal which has like ... 50 players, and doesn't have a Wiki article. Did I try to defend it in the AFD? No! What? So you mean all your misconceptions are baseless? Oh wow, stoneface is fallible... impossible!
 * And, the deleting administrator doesn't need to leave a comment. They deleted it via speedy deletion! To use one of your own arguments back on you, you obviously have no idea how to use Wikipedia, and should go away. This statement doesn't have any merit, but it's using the exact same YOU: MMORTS-expert, Me: MMORTS-newb argument you use. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 04:30, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I will only reply to this point ""As for the Boundless Planet entry - they seem to think I owned it - shows how much they bother actually finding out about things. The deletion states.." -- Twinkle automatically informs the creator of the article, that doesn't mean that you own it but as the creator you were likely to believe that it warranted inclusion and hence it warned you." Actually this is one of many occasions that folk have removed Boundless Planet for dubious reasons - you rewrite our content elsewhere yet this gets deleted outright lol. On all previous occasions Boundless was removed and the reason given was interested parties and self promotion. This last time he didnt bother and used a catch all for admins...zzz. You then justified it in pm to my Talk thus inferring you knew the reasons. At this point I was unaware some nitpicker had deleted it, thus this was a joint effort not a response to my incredulity. I am a gamer and the only link ive put on is to my genre specific site - trust me - we are usually above wiki in google and MSN search so its not a begging bowl - quite the opposite - we have much more verifiable info than your amateur online encyclopedia. And I placed the competition in first - not quite as unfair as your ethos here eh lol. Stoneface1970 (talk 14:30 16th January 2008
 * Please see the external linking and conflict of interest guidelines - we generally do not allow editors to insert links to their own sites. - Ehheh (talk) 15:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Self-promotion

Conflict of interest often presents itself in the form of self-promotion, including advertising links, personal website links, personal or semi-personal photos, or other material that appears to promote the private or commercial interests of the editor, or their associates.

Examples of these types of material include:

1. Links that appear to promote products by pointing to obscure or not particularly relevant commercial sites (commercial links). 2. Links that appear to promote otherwise obscure individuals by pointing to their personal pages. 3. Biographical material that does not significantly add to the clarity or quality of the article.

Ok - I set up www.mmortsgamers.com to ensure we have an adequate supply of victims for our games - very naughty of me to be sooo greedy eh lol. What an evil agenda I have MUHAWHAHAHWAH etc etc. We only carry verifiable content and strictly edit our material - unlike 99% of wiki. We are one of two sources for this genre on the web and I published the competitive site above my own as it has been around longer. I don't make money - far from it - the site costs me money in hosting and software permissions. The games on our lists are not up to anyone to decide if they are noteworthy - its up to the families that depend on them and the banks that fund them. State those opinions if you hold a position that lends itself to such authority - or leave alone. And anyone who believes mmorpg and browser MMOG's subscriber stats are naive beyond belief. They never delete old accounts and offer incentives for one off joins to impress advertisers.

And your stats for Fragmented galaxy btw are false as one article about their game has had over 1600 hits on our site alone. In fact it shows the highest interest for any alpha so far. You know what opinions are like and everyone has one.

Do you seriously expect me, with my opinions on the utter wastes of time that are MMORPG games, to even go there? 1/ I have no interest in them 2/ I loathe the fake RPG element - so imagine the hack job i could do! That is how everyone I have spoken too views your edits. Unwanted and ignorant and biased. Two folk have asked me to calm it down but not give up - personally I don't care - they want to step up to the plate let them. Funny but you deleted one of their contributions after it was corrected to make sense grammatically.

Then i find this which makes no sense lol A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, verifiable encyclopedia free from original research, and the aims of an individual editor. Now please go edit that gibberish which implies wiki only contains information if it is free from original research lol - thus not verifiable surely? I have no interest in this so will leave it for those with time on their hands :) Stoneface1970 (talk 18:43 16th January 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 18:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SGscreenshot.jpg
Image:SGscreenshot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Travian-type games
It seems to me that games like Travian (ex.Tribal Wars) would also fit under this category. I'm not saying we should list them all, but Travian is larger than Ikariam and I think it would provide a good picture of what these games are like.

P.S. Sorry but I haven't looked up how to hyperlink yet. Travian: http://www.travian.com/index.php and  Tribal Wars: http://www.tribalwars.net/   Derekristow (talk) 06:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * A browser based game would have to make more use of AJAX than Travian does (or be flash/java) to be included here. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 08:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Browser based games are presenting the real first generation of MMO-RTS: OGame, Tribal Wars and Travian - each has millions of players, while a crap like Ballerium or whatever else are largely unknown to anyone. The technology has no real implication to the game itself. 92.112.82.182 (talk) 16:38, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Travian and Ikariam (both of which I have given many weeks to) must be included here unless someone has a definition of "strategy" that hasn't been mentioned. Players can choose sites for new villages, what to build in them, where (and when and against whom) to deploy units, and so on, just as in Civilization II, for example. Robin Patterson (talk) 12:52, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

List of released titles
Okay, I'm going to make this clear. Mankind and Shattered Galaxy seem to have been bumped to the top of the list after I put it in alphabetical order. If I see them at the top of the list again, I'm going to assume that it's ADVERTISING, and remove them from the article. Same goes for other titles being changed around after I re-alphabetise them. Ong elvin (talk) 11:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, I see it now. They've been arranged chronologically by release year. I'll just make a hidden comment then. Ong elvin (talk) 11:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Fiber crop

Fiber crops are field crops grown for their fibers, which are traditionally used to make paper, cloth, or rope.

Fiber crops are characterized by having a large concentration of cellulose, which is what gives them their strength. The fibers may be chemically modified, like in viscose (used to make rayon and cellophane). In recent years, materials scientists have begun exploring further use of these fibers in composite materials. Due to cellulose being the main factor of a plant fiber's strength, this is what scientists are looking to manipulate to create different types of fibers.

Fiber crops are generally harvestable after a single growing season, as distinct from trees, which are typically grown for many years before being harvested for such materials as wood pulp fiber or lacebark. In specific circumstances, fiber crops can be superior to wood pulp fiber in terms of technical performance, environmental impact or cost.

There are a number of issues regarding the use of fiber crops to make pulp. One of these is seasonal availability. While trees can be harvested continuously, many field crops are harvested once during the year and must be stored such that the crop doesn't rot over a period of many months. Considering that many pulp mills require several thousand tonnes of fiber source per day, storage of the fiber source can be a major issue.

Botanically, the fibers harvested from many of these plants are bast fibers; the fibers come from the phloem tissue of the plant. The other fiber crop fibers are hard/leaf fibers (come from the entirety of plant vascular bundles) and surface fibers (come from plant epidermal tissue).

Fiber sources
To have a source of fiber to utilize in production, the fiber first must be extracted from the plant. This is done in different ways depending on the fiber classification. Bast fibers are harvested through retting which is where microbes are utilized to remove soft tissues from the plant and only the useful fibrous material remains. Hard fibers are harvested mainly through decortication which is where the non-fibrous tissues are removed by hand or machine. Lastly, surface fibers are harvested through ginning which is where a machine removes the fibers from other plant material.

Paper
Before the industrialisation of paper production the most common fiber source was recycled fibers from used textiles, called rags. The rags were from ramie, hemp, linen and cotton. A process for removing printing inks from recycled paper was invented by German jurist Justus Claproth in 1774. Today this method is called deinking. It was not until the introduction of wood pulp in 1843 that paper production was not dependent on recycled materials from ragpickers.

Fiber crops

 * Bast fibers (stem)
 * Bamboo, when derived from a mechanical process.
 * Dogbane, used by Native Americans
 * Esparto, a fiber from a grass
 * Flax, from which linen is derived
 * Hemp, a soft, strong fiber, edible seeds
 * Hoopvine, also used for barrel hoops and baskets, edible leaves, medicine
 * Jute, widely used, it is the cheapest fiber after cotton
 * Kenaf, the interior of the plant stem is used for its fiber. Edible leaves.
 * Lotus, used to produce lotus silk
 * Nettles used to make thread and twine, clothing made from it is both durable yet soft
 * Papyrus, a pith fiber, akin to a bast fiber
 * Ramie, a member of the nettle family.
 * Spanish broom, a legume, it's fiber has similar characteristics to linen.
 * Tilia, known as Linden or Lime in Europe and Basswood in North America. Fiber comes from inner bark.
 * Leaf fibers
 * Abacá, a banana, producing "manila" rope from leaves
 * Piña, from pineapple leaves
 * Sisal, an agave
 * Bowstring hemp, a common house plant, also Sansevieria roxburghiana, Sansevieria hyacinthoides
 * Henequen, an agave. A useful fiber, but not as high quality as sisal
 * Phormium, "New Zealand Flax"
 * Yucca, an agave relative
 * Seed fibers and fruit fibers
 * Coir, the fiber from the coconut husk
 * Cotton
 * Kapok
 * Milkweed, grown for the filament-like pappus in its seed pods
 * Luffa, a gourd which when mature produces a sponge-like mass of xylem, used to make loofa sponge.
 * Walissima is a natural plant fiber obtained from Sida rhombifolia of Malvaceae family. It was produced mainly in Philippines islands.

Suicide?
This Article carries the Category "Suicide", but there is no mention of it in the text. Why? -- Michael David (talk) 23:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Borneman grew up in relative wealth
I do not know where the article writer has this information from. Borneman says in his autobiography, on p. 13: "Meine Eltern machten einen Laden für Kinderkleidung in Charlottenburg auf. Er ging schlecht, weil Vater und Mutter von unheilbarer Ehrlichkeit und deshalb konstitutionell ungeeignet für das Gewerbe waren... torkelte das Geschäft meine ganze Kindheit hindurch am Rande des Konkurses. Immer wieder musste mein Vater auf Arbeit gehen, um uns vorm Verhungern zu bewahren..." I don't see how anybody can qualify such a situation as "relative wealth". Menander69 (talk) 17:51, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Online reference
Given the current lack of references perhaps editors who read German will find this useful:-

Students' union

A students' union or student union, also known by many other names, is a student organization present in many colleges, universities, and high schools. In higher education, the students' union is often accorded its own building on the campus, dedicated to social, organizational activities, representation, and academic support of the membership.

In the United States, student union often only refers to a physical building owned by the university with the purpose of providing services for students without a governing body. This building is also referred to as a student activity center, although the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has hundreds of campus organizational members. Outside the US, student union and students' union more often refer to a representative body, as distinct from a student activity centre building, and may also refer to a building run by that representative body.

Purpose
Depending on the country, the purpose, assembly, method, and implementation of the group might vary. Universally, the purpose of students' union or student government is to represent fellow students in some fashion.

In some cases, students' unions are run by students, independent of the educational facility. The purpose of these organizations is to represent students both within the institution and externally, including on local and national issues. Students' unions are also responsible for providing a variety of services to students. Depending on the organization's makeup, students can get involved in the union by becoming active in a committee, by attending councils and general meetings, volunteering within a group, service or club run by the union, or by becoming an elected officer.

Some students' unions are politicized bodies, and often serve as a training ground for aspiring politicians. Students' unions generally have similar aims irrespective of the extent of politicization, usually focusing on providing students with facilities, support, and services.

Some students' unions often officially recognize and allocate an annual budget to other organizations on campus. In some institutions, postgraduate students are within the general students' unions, whereas in others they have their own postgraduate representative body. In some cases, graduate students lack formal representation in student government.

Variations depending on country
As mentioned before universally the purpose of students' union or student government is to represent fellow students. Many times students' unions usually focusing on providing students with facilities, support, and services. Simple variations on just the name include the name differences between the United States (student government) and other countries (students' union or student association). Depending on the country there are different methods of representation compulsory education to Higher education or tertiary.

Australia
In Australia, all universities have one or more student organizations.

Australian student unions typically provide such services as eateries, small retail outlets (e.g., news agencies), student media (e.g., campus newspapers), advocacy, and support for a variety of social, arts, political, recreational, special interest and sporting clubs and societies. Most also operate specialized support services for female, LGBT, international and indigenous students. Many expressed concerns over the introduction of voluntary student unionism (VSU) in 2006.

In 2011, the Government passed legislation to allow universities to charge students a compulsory service fee to fund amenities such as sporting facilities, childcare and counselling, as well as student media and "advocating students' interests".

The National Union of Students of Australia represents most undergraduate students' unions at a national level; the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations is the umbrella organisation for postgraduate students' unions.

Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan Students Union (ASU) was established by students from Baku on 15 September 2008. ASU is an organization which was established on basis of international experience and it was the first student organization which united students irrespective of gender, race, creed, nationality.

During its action period ASU has formed stable structure, presented new suggestions about student policy to appropriate bodies, made close relations with international and regional student organizations, prepared new action plan according to the universities-students-companies' relations in Azerbaijan.

ASU considered international relations very important. For the first time ASU's delegates were participants of the First Asia IAESTE Forum in Shanghai during 12–15 November 2009. After that forum ASU established close relations with IAESTE which is one of the biggest student exchange organizations. As a result of relations on 21 January 2010 ASU was accepted a member of IAESTE. The union gained right to represent Azerbaijan students in IAESTE. That membership was the union's first success on international level. During 20–27 January Azerbaijan Students Union was accepted as associative member of IAESTE in 64th Annual Conference in Thailand. Azerbaijan Students Union has been a full member of European Students' Union until 2015.

China
In China, the student body is usually referred to as 学生会 or 学生联合会.

Membership in different universities has different functions. Some universities may give the membership a task of recording the students' attendance and the complex grades. Student associations of Chinese universities are mostly under the leadership of Communist Youth League of China, which to a large extent limit its function as an organization purely belonging to students themselves.

Hong Kong
All universities in Hong Kong had students' unions until the Hong Kong national security law came into effect in 2020, when the many students' unions were forced to disband under political pressure. Most of these students' unions were members of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. Many secondary schools also have students' unions or the equivalent. Students' unions are called student council and students' association in some secondary schools. Students' unions in secondary schools and universities are elected democratically and universally by the student population, and the cabinet winning a simple majority becomes the new students' union of the year. Students' union maintain quite a hierarchical structure.

India
India has developed a complex tradition of student politics dating from the era of Indian National Congress movement domination. Student unions are organised both within universities, like the Student Council of IISc and across universities, All India Students Federation (AISF) is the oldest student organisation in India founded on August 12, 1936. AISF is the only students organisation in the country which was actively involved in the Indian freedom struggle, but affiliated with political parties, as in the case of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Muslim Students Federation, Students Federation of India, National Students Union of India etc. who compete in elections to control posts in universities and colleges. Examples of activist unions include the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union, Delhi University Students Union, Udai pratap college students Union Swaero Student Union. Recently few school administrations had also started including the student government system as co-curricular activities in one form or another. There is one of a kind, non-political independent architectural students body, National Association of Students of Architecture.

Indonesia
In Indonesia, every university, college and higher education school has a student union.

The official student union in junior and senior high school is usually called Organisasi Siswa Intra Sekolah (Intra-School Student Organization, abbreviated as OSIS), is formed by the school. A general election to choose the leader is usually held every year. OSIS organizes the school's extracurricular activities such as music shows and art gallery (pentas seni/pensi).

The student union in universities is commonly called Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa (Student Executive Board, abbreviated as BEM), though the official name could be vary between universities or faculties. Most of BEMs are affiliated with several national unions, such as All-Indonesia BEM (BEM SI) or BEM Nusantara (BEMNUS).

Japan
In Japan, the student body is called 学生自治会 (gakusei-jichi-kai). In Japanese, the word 学生自治会 (gakusei-jichi-kai) means students' self-government-organizations. The student body in Japan promotes extracurricular activities. Usually, a cultural association, 文化会 (bunka-kai), and a sports association, 体育会 (taiiku-kai), are included within a student body as autonomous organizations. A student belongs to one or more students' organizations, and he or she does extracurricular activities through these students' organizations. However, the extracurricular activities of universities and colleges have been declining since the 1990s.

There is no nationwide student union in Japan that participates in university administration or university management.

Malaysia
Malaysia has 20 public universities. Each of them has one students' representative council (Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar, MPP), the highest student body of such university as stipulated in the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU)."The registered students of the University, other than external students, shall together constitute a body to be known as the Students' Union of the University, and the Union shall elect a Students' Representative Council. (Article 48 Section 1-2, Universities and University Colleges Act)"A general election is held every year, usually in November (With the exception of University of Malaya in July), to elect representatives to MPP. The percentage of voter turn-outs are usually high (70 to 95 percent) largely due to enforcements from the universities' management which, at the same time, acts as the Election Committee. Amendments on the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 in 2019 allows students to be fully in-charge of the Election Committee.

Every year, the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education would set meetings and arrange programmes with all MPPs. Nevertheless, each MPP has their own autonomous right to govern their own membership. The size of MPP differs from each university, from as little as 12 to as many as 50, which may include non-associate members from student leaders representing their respective student body. All MPP members are part-time and unpaid officers.

In 2011, Universiti Sains Malaysia established Students' Consultative Assembly (Dewan Perundingan Pelajar, DPP), the first student parliament established and the oldest of its kind in Malaysia, to involve participation of more student leaders in decision and policy making as well as to establish a legislative branch in its Students' Union system instead of having the only executive branch. A university student parliament is composed of MPP members and other elected or appointed student leaders representing their respective student body, along with the presence of the management's and students' representative as observers. In 2020, Universiti Utara Malaysia revived the Students' Parliament (Parlimen Mahasiswa) as the legislative branch in its Students' Union system which was left dormant since its last meeting at 2013 and the next meeting since its revival was held in April 2021. As at May 2021, 8 public universities in Malaysia had their student parliament established.

However, there were several disputes regarding the autonomy of the MPP, since executive decisions were depending upon the advice of the Students' Affairs Department (Jabatan Hal Ehwal Pelajar), especially among several students' rights activists, who insists that the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU) to be abolished and replaced with a new act to 'revive' students' autonomy on administration as in the 1960s'.

New Zealand
Students associations have a strong history in New Zealand of involvement in political causes, notably the Halt All Racist Tours campaign during the 1981 Springbok Tour. All universities, and most polytechnics and colleges of education have a students association. Since the economic reforms of the 1990s and the introduction of user pays in tertiary education, students associations and the national body have shifted their focus to challenging inequities in the student loan scheme and high levels of student debt. Part-time work alongside the introduction of internal assessment and the change of semester structure has been attributed to the declining involvement in extracurricular activities and a shift in focus of the student movement from mass protest to lobbying.

Previous to 1998 membership of Students' Associations (pep) was compulsory at all public Tertiary Education providers (universities, polytechnics and colleges of education). In 1997 the centre-right National party proposed the Voluntary Student Membership amendment to the Education act which would have made membership of Students' Associations voluntary at all Tertiary Education Providers.

However the National Party relied on support from the centrist New Zealand First party to pass legislation. The New Zealand First party preferred that Tertiary Students themselves choose whether their provider should be voluntary or compulsory and pushed through a compromise to the amendment that allowed for a Compulsory Vs Voluntary referendum to be held at every public Tertiary Education Provider. The amendment also allowed for subsequent referendums which could not be held until at least two years had passed since the previous referendum and only if a petition was signed by 10% of the student populace.

The first wave of referendums were held in 1999, in which several Polytechnics and two Universities (the University of Waikato and the University of Auckland) elected to become voluntary. In 2002 a second referendum was held at the University of Waikato and students choose to return to compulsory student membership. Similar referendums at Auckland University in 2001, 2003 and 2005 have all elected to retain voluntary student membership.

Most of New Zealand Tertiary students' associations are confederated under the New Zealand Union of Students' Associations.

Philippines
In the Philippines, student unions are referred to as "student government" and "student council." They are vital organizations for student representation and advancing the struggle of the people for their democratic rights and freedoms. At the primary and secondary level, student unions are referred to as pupil government handled by the Department of Education under their Student Government Program. Meanwhile, at the tertiary level, private and state colleges and universities have their own student councils. A university may further be subdivided into colleges with their own specializations (e.g., College of Law, College of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences, etc.); in this case, the highest student representation will usually be referred to as the university student council while the student representation of these colleges will be called college student council(s). Aside from student unions, students are further represented in the through the student regent (e.g., UP Office of the Student Regent for the students of the University of the Philippines System). The student regent is a consequence of tireless and continuous struggle of the students to be represented in the highest policy-making body of their respective universities such as the school board where the student regent has voting powers, among others. Student regents are very common for universities with campuses in different locations and most especially in state universities and colleges. On the other hand, these student unions are also connected throughout the country via an alliance or network such as the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP), which serves as a nationwide alliance of student councils/governments/unions committed to the advancement of the students' democratic rights and welfare since its establishment in 1957.

Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, each state university has several Students' unions with formal links to respective faculties. Inter University Students' Federation is the umbrella organization of 14 unions of university students. However, most of these have political affiliations and function as proxies of these political factions. Many unions take an active political role within the university and in the country as a whole. This frequently lead to much clashes between rival students' unions or the authorities.

Taiwan
In Taiwan, the student body is called 學生會 or 學生自治會, these groups are often known as student association and students' union, or less commonly a student government. The law requires all universities and high schools should have a Student Association. Many universities student association in Taiwan are members of the National Students' Union of Taiwan.

Myanmar
The role of students' unions in Myanmar were attached with Politics. From 1920, the students' union were outcoming and tried to get the Interdependence of Nation. There were many students boycotts in Myanmar: 1920, 1936, 1962, 1974-75-76, 1988, 1996, 2007 and recently 2015 March. Most of them were connected with political issues.

Africa

In South Africa student representative councils are the executive and plenary body of student governance and charters and provides most of the funding for other student groups, and represents students' interests when dealing with the administration. In several instances representatives of these bodies are members of the university's Senate.

In 2012 the first student union in Libya, after 42 years of suppression, was founded. Students from Al Mimona Ebem Alharth school public school in Tripoli-Libya successfully established the union and promoted for other schools around the country to do the same. The founder Alaa Amed received local media attention for this achievement. While higher education and student activism might vary depending on the country the National Association of Nigerian Students' is an organization with well over 50 university union across the nation.

Tunisia has many students unions including the Union Générale des Étudiants de Tunisie founded in 1952, and Union Générale Tunisienne des Étudiants founded in 1985.

Europe
While each students' union varies by countries the European Students' Union is an umbrella organization of 45 national unions of students from 36 European countries.

Armenia
The Armenian National Students Association was established in September 2003 and represents 90 thousand students across Armenia. It is a member of the European Students' Union. The National Youth Council of Armenia was established in 1997 and represents 70 student and youth structures throughout Armenia.

Denmark
In Denmark the higher education system comprises two parallel sectors: universities and university colleges of applied sciences (e.g. nursing and engineering schools or teachers' colleges). Universities are characterised by scientific research and the highest education based thereon. University colleges of applied sciences are oriented towards working life and base their operations on the high vocational skill requirements set by it. These vocational institutions offer 3-4 year 'professional bachelor's degrees'. Besides that there are a number of art schools. Universities belong under the Ministry of Science, University Colleges belong under the Ministry of Education, and the Art Schools belong under the Ministry of Culture. There are 12 universities at the moment, but in 2006 there is a major merger process going on to make fewer, bigger institutions. The student unions at universities (and some of the art schools' student unions) are generally members of the National Union of Students in Denmark which represents these students on the national level.

Every university has a student union (In Danish, Studenterråd). Membership is not mandatory. The student unions are funded by the university and the Ministry of Science on the basis of the percentage of votes received every year at the university election. The student union is autonomous, its internal life organized by its by-laws. The student unions are responsible for all representation of the students and elect the student members of different administrative organs. They usually coordinate and finance the activities of smaller, more specialized student organizations. For the financing of their activities, some student unions exact a membership fee and/or engage in different businesses.

In the Ministry of Culture institutions there are also local student organisations. In the Ministry of Education institutions, The student activities are very much related to a student division of the Labor Union in the different areas. For instance, the teachers' students are organised in the national labor union for teachers and so forth.

The Upper-Secondary schools (In Danish, Gymnasier), It is in Denmark a law that there has to be a student council at the Upper-Secondary schools. The student councils are organized in the following organisations:

France
The central organization of the French higher education system means that local university bodies have restricted decision-making power. As a consequence, student unions are generally established at national level with local sections in most universities. The largest national student unions have a strong political identity and their actions are generally restricted to the defense of their vision of higher education rather than being focused on the particular interests of the membership of a single university. Union membership is regarded as an essentially political decision, without any particular advantage for students. The strength of unions is often measured by their effectiveness in national protests rather than by membership figures. The National Union of Students of France (UNEF) is the oldest French student union created in 1907. It laid the modern foundations of student unionism in France in 1946 when it adopted the Charter of Grenoble.

There are also class-struggle student unions such as the Solidaires Étudiant-e-s (formed in January 2013 through the fusion of the former organizations SUD Étudiant and Féderation syndicale étudiante (FSE)) which refuse to cooperate with the universities' direction and work to organize students. Or radical-right student organizations like the student cockade

In the grandes écoles, the premium league in the French higher education system, students are generally members of the official Student Office (Bureau des étudiants or Bureau des élèves) in charge of the organization of social activities and sports events. The constitutions of these societies, which work in close partnership with the school administration, usually prevent union members from running for executive positions in order to keep the school independent from political groups liable to harm the school's prestige.

High school students' union
The first high school organizations appear sporadically with social movements since the mid-1960s.

Modern French high school unionism appeared after the Devaquet Law Project which had sparked a mass mobilization of high school and university students in November and December 1986 : In 1987 the Independent and Democratic Lycee Federation was founded. This organization was the first to claim syndicalism. It is the oldest French high school students union still in operation.

Others high school students unions referring to syndicalism will follow: in 1994, the national high school students' union was created after the social movement against the professional integration contract bill. In 2009, the general high school students' union and then in 2016, the national high school student movement, were born out of a split with the national high school student union.

Germany
In Germany the actual form of student representation depends strongly on the federal state. In most states there is a General Students' Committee (AStA) at every university. It is the executive organ of the parliaments and councils of all faculties.

Greece
In Greece every university department has its corresponding student union (in Greek: Σύλλογος Φοιτητών) and all students belonging to the department have the right to register as members. The main objective of a student union is to solve students' problems that can either be related to academic life or have a general political and social nature. Furthermore, student unions organize and support numerous activities such as political debates, demonstrations, university occupations, educational lectures, cultural and artistic events, conferences and so on.

The structure of a student union is rather simple and comprises two bodies: The General Students' Assembly (Greece) and the board of directors. The general assembly consists of all student-members of the union. It takes place on a regular basis and is the only decision-making body. During the general assembly, many topics of student interest are discussed and the decisions are taken after open vote. The board of directors makes sure that the decisions of the general assembly will be materialized. Moreover, the members of the board of directors, among which is the union's president, participate in various university administrative bodies as representatives of all students in the union.

Every year in early spring the student elections take place nationwide, during which students vote for their representatives. All student unions in Greece are members of the "National Student Union of Greece" (ΕΦΕΕ - Εθνική Φοιτητική Ένωση Ελλάδας).

Ireland
Most of Ireland's universities and colleges have students' unions which were established to represent the students in the context of internal college issues and on wider student related issues and also a means of solidarity with other movements globally. An ongoing campaign of virtually every students' union in Ireland is to prevent the reintroduction of tuition fees which were abolished in 1995. Most, but not all, of the students' unions are affiliated with the Union of Students in Ireland. Notably, two of the seven university students' unions are not members. The students' unions are operated in accordance with the rules set down in their constitution which invariable enumerates a strong democratic and inclusive procedure for the governance on the union. Some Students' Unions run retail businesses in the interests of its students and run referendums, such as on whether or not to support same-sex marriage or abortion.

All Universities and Institutes of Technologies in the Republic of Ireland have Students' Unions.

National Union of Students-Union of Students in Ireland (NUS-USI), the student movement in Northern Ireland was formed in 1972 by bilateral agreement between the UK National Union of Students (NUS) and the Union of Students in Ireland (USI), to address the particular problems of representing students in Northern Ireland.

Netherlands
There are several students' unions in The Netherlands which act as labor unions for students. The largest ones are VSSD in Delft and ASVA Studentenunie in Amsterdam. These students' unions are all members of LSVb, the national students' union. There's also a similar organization called ISO (Interstedelijk Studenten Overleg), which consists of several formal participation organizations, as well as ASVA Studentenunie and VSSD. Both ISO and LSVb are members of European Students' Union.

Lastly, the Netherlands has an (unofficial) student union for its students that study abroad: Netherlands Worldwide Students or simply NEWS.

The Netherlands is also home to an unusual case of student representation in which a local political party completely run by student gained seats during local town hall elections, STIP.

Norway
In Norway, every university is instructed and required by law to have a student union elected by the students at the university. Additionally, Norwegian law requires two students to be appointed as members of the board of directors for all universities. The goal for every student union is to act as the official voice of the students towards the university's administration and rector, informing them on the students' perspectives on most issues at the institution, either academic or administrative. They often additionally seek to improve their school environment through encouraging social, cultural and other extracurricular events in the local community. Each student union in Norway is governed by a board of directors that is elected directly from the Student Council. In addition, most upper secondary schools in Norway are affiliated with the School Student Union of Norway.

Portugal
In Portugal, every university, polytechnic institute and any other higher education schools has their own students' unions. Union organizations are generally aimed to organize and promote extracurricular activities such as sports and culture events, parties, and academic festivities. At the same time, they also act as "labour unions for students" promoting and defending the students' points of view and rights, and dealing with the teaching institutions and the State's education agencies policies. The oldest union of Portugal is the Associação Académica de Coimbra (founded in 1887) which belongs to the students of the University of Coimbra. The biggest students' union is Associação dos Estudantes do Instituto Superior Técnico (AEIST).

Sweden
At Swedish universities, students' unions are responsible for representing the students in evaluation of the education and decision-making within the universities. Not Swedish universities are affiliated with the Swedish National Union of Students. The union normally holds about one-third of the votes within every decision-making body and thus holds a great deal of power.

The unions are usually governed by a general assembly of elected representatives. Students' unions generally provide counselling services to its members and publishes their own magazines or newspapers. Large universities often have several students' unions, where the smaller students' unions only provide basic services. Larger students' unions often own and run their own facilities at the university such as shops, restaurants and night clubs.

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has a long history of student unionism at a local and national level. The oldest students' union in Britain (as distinct from a primarily social union society) was the Student Representative Council formed at the University of Edinburgh in 1884. Most bodies are termed unions, however there exist a number of guilds and students' associations. Students' association is a popular term in Scotland, as historically there were separate men's and women's unions focused on societies and entertainment with representation to the university carried out by separate students' representative councils. Most students' unions in the UK are affiliated to the National Union of Students, although there exist other national representative bodies, such the National Postgraduate Committee, the Coalition of Higher Education Students in Scotland and the Aldwych Group, the association of students' unions of members of the Russell Group.

National Union of Students-Union of Students in Ireland (NUS-USI), the student movement in Northern Ireland was formed in 1972 by bilateral agreement between the UK National Union of Students (NUS) and the Union of Students in Ireland (USI), to address the particular problems of representing students in Northern Ireland.

Under the Education Act 1994, the role and purpose of students' unions is defined as being "promoting the general interests of its members as students". This has limited the ability of students' unions to campaign on issues not directly related to their members as students, such as Apartheid and the 1984–85 miners' strike.

Canada
In Canada, the existence of a college or university students' union and the membership of those who attend the institutions is mandatory across Canada under various provincial statutes. Included in Canadian students' tuition fees is anywhere from an additional $10–$500 fee to pay for the services of the union for either undergraduate or graduate support. The money raised from dues is used to support, programs, services, advocacy, salaries, part-time staff costs, overhead costs and a variety of other general costs. Student elections typically happen prior to the end of the previous educational year as the membership elect their unions' executives for the following year. The current largest undergraduate student union in Canada is the York Federation of Students, at the York University, with around 60,000 members.

Most students' unions are charged by their membership to protect their best interests at the university, municipal, provincial and federal government levels. Advocating for support from the provincial government for areas such as lower tuition fees, support for sexual and gender based violence, and financial support, as well as creating position papers and providing research to support various causes. Many students' unions in Canada are members of one of the national student organizations, the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) or the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). Those that belong to the CFS at the national level also belong to the CFS at the provincial level. Those that do not belong to the CFS may belong to a provincial student organization like the New Brunswick Student Alliance, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), the College Student Alliance, StudentsNS (formerly known as ANSSA), the Alliance of British Columbia Students, the Council of Alberta University Students, or the Alberta Students Executive Council. In Quebec, the provincial student organizations are the Quebec Federation of University Students (Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec or FEUQ) for university students, college students are represented by the Fédération étudiante collégiale du Québec or FECQ, while the Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante or ASSE includes students from both the undergraduate and graduate levels of education.

Different provinces have different rules governing student unions. In British Columbia under section 27.1 of the University Act, student unions may only raise or rescind mandatory student union fees through a democratic referendum of the membership. Once fees are passed through this mechanism, the board of governors of the respective institutions are then required to remit those fees to the student union, and may only interfere in the internal affairs of the student union if it fails to complete annual audits of its finances, giving these student unions strong autonomy over their institutions. In Ontario, the autonomy of student unions is set by standards outlined by each institution, giving university administrators a broader scope of powers over the finances of student unions. Ontario educational institutions may only revoke collecting fees on behalf of the students' union if they are in contravention of the Corporations Act of Ontario. Other provinces have governing acts specific to the institutions, such as The University of Manitoba Students' Union Act.

Students' Unions in Canada typically offer a variety of services such as LGBTQ2+ groups, Women's Centre's, Food Banks, Bicycle Repair Shops, Campus First Aid teams, Walksafe programs, Peer Support groups and Racialized Student Support, among other offerings and independent student groups. Unions also generally offer health and dental plans, termly bus passes at costs negotiated with the local transit authority, and other student assistance programs. Funding options are also a part of many student unions' including endowment funds, funding for student clubs and for orientation. Students' unions are also programmers for the beginning of term events such as Welcome Week, Frost Week and other events throughout the term that provide social connections and wellness for students. Advocacy is also a main portion of what a students' union does including connecting with the university or College to advocate for changes to programs, co-op, and affordability. They also advocate for housing and tenant rights, safety, quality of education, academic rights, transportation concerns, accessibility, diversity and equity and health and wellness.

Mexico
In Mexico, students unions are mostly predominant in universities. Mexican universities have an elected student committee each year, but the faculties or schools within the universities have also their own union. This practice is also extended to other levels of education, such as high and junior high school, but to a lesser extent. An example of this is the Sociedad de Alumnos de HPA Mexico.

Jesuit student groups played an important role in Mexico's history, particularly in opposing the imposition of socialist education in Mexico in the 1930s. Leaders from the Unión Nacional de Estudiantes Católicos (UNEC) had long-term importance in Mexico's political history, since a number of them helped form the conservative National Action Party (Mexico).

United States
In the United States, these groups are often known as student government, associated students, student senate, or less commonly a students' union. In the U.S., the phrase "student union" often refers to a "student activity center" (also known as a "student center" or "student commons"), a building with dining halls, game rooms, lounges, student offices, and other spaces for student activities. At institutions with large graduate, medical school, and individual "college" populations, there are often student governments that serve those specific constituencies.

Brazil
The Brazilian Society

This society has existed since 2003 and now has 190 members, where only one third are Brazilian. The other two thirds are people who are just interested in Brazilian politics, famous parties and culture. This is one of the societies that students may join if they so wish. The society has social events and it hosts lectures. They also have a Brazilian discussion group on a weekly basis in order to discuss current events.

Israel
The National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS) is the sole organization that represents over 300,000 students of 61 higher education institutes and vocational schools in Israel. We believe that the young age group of Israel, comprising almost half of the Israel's population, is the living force of society. NUIS was established in 1934, before establishment the state of Israel.

The Student Union's main activity is to widespread and include a variety of activities portraying its worldview regarding the students' role, responsibilities and benefits within the Israeli society. The union is composed of professional departments enacting the decisions made for, and with the student community, in addition to local student unions in each of the higher education institutes. The central role of the union is to protect the student's status and rights, while strengthening its social purpose as the leading organization driving lively activities among the students.
