I think I've clarified this term well enough to removing the "confusing" tag, but the article still needs attention from an expert. IrisWings 09:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, please let me know what you think. I believe you have a great article here but could use a lot more details. You did an excellent job at explaining what "master status" is and also gave some great examples but I would like to expand on the examples. I've gathered up a few resources on some of the example you've listed and would like to create some sections on this page, further going into detail about things like: identification through disability, race and gender, women and children and their social positions, identity profiles in LGBT youth, etc. Take a look at my bibliography, I plan to add a few more resources!

Hello, This is a great topic. It will give great insight on how people are perceived by others and most importantly how they identify with themselves. The definition of Master Status is good, but i think it can be fine-tuned some more. There is a wealth of knowledge on the factors and things people do to shape themselves and how society identifies with the person they've created. I've noticed that you have some ideas flowing, I can't wait to see how it all comes together. Great luck! Ecook002 (talk) 02:34, 19 October 2016 (UTC) @C mena15:Reply
